For some reason, AMG does not have icons for 3 1/2 stars. I would have awarded this to Pin Ups, Space Oddity, Black Tie White Noise and Tin Machine 2. And it may have persuaded me to place an extra half star on the bottom three.

The Music is Outside

This is very changeable, but if I were slotting them tonight, it'd be something like this. I'm limiting myself to the ones I feel I know really well (i.e. enough to judge them)

Damn, and Ziggy the Motion Picture would go in there, somewhere around... errr... 15th place or so.
