No BoS or TMII because I don't have either... if Ryko's made the cut then Diamond Dogs would slip into 1st.

I live in constant fear of the fact that someday, someboy will take me seriously

Granted, there are still some major people who haven't enlightened us with their lists, but I'll post some different things later anyway. I'm bored.

I note that there are two people so far (me and nigelp) who have rated DB-67 in the upper half - then R/R had it rather close to the middle, at #15. Defenders of DB67, unite!
