* = I think. Subject to change/remembering something I’ve been obsessed with that I’ve forgotten/adding the caveat that this is all possibly down to the mood I was in when making the list/probably should include Tom Waits or Kate Bush but haven’t had chance to listen to them properly.
Your favourites…?
