Steve's Blog: My Favourite Records

As a music fan - I like lists. Pick up any magazine and you will find it full of the "Best 50 x", or "Worst 100 y". This is becasue fans of music like to make lists of music. They also like to make mix tapes. I think it's the same part of the brain that is responsible for compiling music onto either tape or paper. It's fun! Anyway - I often mentally try to compile alist of my favourite CDs. This is impossible. Favourites change on a weekly basis and it always gets really hard at the end when you have toleave something great out. This is demonstrated in my list of all time favourite eleven CDs. It's 11 becasue I couldn't get my shortlist down to 10. I really couldn't decide which CD had to make way to make the list neat. Similarly the CDs are in alphabetical order of title of artist becsue sorting them into a top 5 and then top 3 and top 1 is just not going to happen. So here, mostly for my benefit, is Steve's (current) top 11 CDs of all time ever. They are not (by any stretch of the imagination) what I think are the BEST CDs of all time, in some cases not even the artists best CDs, they are just my favourites - that makes sense to me and if it makes sense to you too then I think we would get on great!
