Could add lots more...

I think I need to add Dry by PJ Harvey as well as Animals by Pink Floyd

Bob-Dubery

OK... I'm going to make a late play. Do not infer any ranking. The numbers are just there to make sure I get in exactly 10, no more, no less

1: Mike Heron - Smiling Men With Bad Reputations
2: World Party - Goodbye Jumbo
3: Richard Thompson - More Guitar!
4: John Hiatt - Bring The Family
5: Joan Armatrading - Joan Armatrading
6: Richard & Linda Thompson - Pour Down Like Silver
7: Loudon Wainwright III - Last Man On Earth
8: Richard Thompson - Rumor and Sigh
9: Geoff Muldaur - Beautiful Isle of Somewhere
10: Gillian Welch - The Harrow and the Harvest

Now I'll push "post" before I change my mind, though I can't see changing 1,2 and 4 to 8.

Good stuff, my buddy Charl was their screamer and barker for a while, but I always thought they'd be soooo much better with a drummer who could, you know, play metal drums.
