Just over a month ago some of the finest musical minds on twitter (and me, @boxofpeppers) compiled their Top 50 album lists.
I thought you might like to see my list. Obviously it's just a snapshot. I've already changed my mind about some of the albums that made the list, along with some of the ones that missed out (how could I have forgotten about 'Tapestry' for example) and as I shortlisted 52 albums I've shown all 52, so you can see the two that just missed out.
There's also a longlist, which I may (or may not) include in a blog one day. The photograph above shows one batch of albums considered for movement from long to shortlist. (Why not see how many of them you can name!)
