Favourites

It’s a week later than I promised, but here’s a list of my all-time favourite albums, as worked out over a few nights at my mind-numbing but adequately paid job. I was going to write an appraisal of each, but that’s too much like homework from school, so I’ve just listed the Top 11. (I hate the obviousness of a Top 10, and a Top 11 is also a nod to Spinal Tap) I’ve also listed my Top 11 films and place names in the UK.
I present for you a scary look into my personality and preferences…
