Rolling Stones - Exile on Main St  3. DJ Shadow - Endtroducing...  4. Derek and the Dominoes - Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs  5. Moby - Play  6. U2 - Achtung Baby  7.

David Bowie- Low Great. Nick Drake- Five Leaves Left Wow out of all the albums you listed I can't believe you cited this one. Drake FTW. Btw if you like his stuff you love John Martyn's stuff too. |
