Well, back to the drawing board I suppose :D

I didn't expect it either! I have the album and played it a couple of weeks back. Not one of my favourites but that's what make these lists so special! Great stuff!

I got my hands on the Ali Farka Toure & Toumani Diabate album after reading your review. I'm not blown away just yet, but I definetly like it. It also got the approval of my GF :D

Also grats on completing your 100!

Thanks guys :) I'm just looking back over it now and spotting more and more glaring omissions as I do. Oh well.

Glad you've all enjoyed the thread. It was fun making it anyway. Back to the Elvis Costello thread I suppose - might as well get cracking on the next review nowish...

I bet nobody saw that No1 coming :laughing:

Well done on finishing a good job :thumb:

Cheers :)

I was hoping I'd catch everyone off guard with that last one :D

Well done on finishing it, a lot of interesting choices and great reads. Awesome work.

Thanks man. I've just gotta think of another long-winded thread to keep me going for a few more months now...

Best of luck with your list eh. Must remember to have a good read of it sometime

Even at the risk of being redundant, I still feel obliged to commend you on a job well done. One of my favorite threads to read since my return to the site and responsible for no les then three new albums in my current listening rotation. Good form indeed.
