I suppose I'd best wade in here too. I suppose I'm giving my age
away if I still refer to them as LP's?

No particular order, of course!

        1 - "Achtung Baby!" - U2
        2 - "In the falling dark" - Bruce Cockburn
        3 - "Plastic Ono Band" - Yoko Ono
        4 - "Pop" - U2
        5 - "Symphony No. 5; Shostakovich" - Andre Previn
        6 - "Captive" - The Edge
        7 - "Who's Better, Who's Best" (a dreaded best of!!) - The Who
        8 - "The Beatles" - The Beatles
        9 - "Barber; Adagio for strings" - Neville Marriner
        10- "The House of Love" - The House of Love

Why do I have a love for eponymous albums? And here's one for
all of you who like looking for hidden meanings, etc. in CD sleeves.
Why is Peter Rowan wearing a 1938 child's war issue gas mask?
See the little flap of rubber between the eye sockets on the
picture? That was supposedly meant to look like Mickey Mouse to
your average pre-war british child, as the government was scared
kids would dislike gas masks!!! So why one of them, and not a
Gulf War one? This IS a hidden message from the band, isn't it?

Oh, I'm taking the piss, BTW!
