  • Rumours - Fleetwood Mac

  • Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - TPATHB's

  • Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd

  • Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield

  • Relics - Pink Floyd

  • Dare - The Human League

  • Motown Chartbusters 10 - Various Artists

Sorry to be a pedant Whickerman, but your Echoes album is actually called Meddle - Echoes is just the title of the track conytained on side two, if you are a vinyl type, or the long track of you are on CD.

I will have a think on this on.. Good question !


Can't agree with the Lou Reed choice though ...In my opinion .. Transformer is a better album.
