With 20 artists in common with my list, and I've just got a top 50, it would appear that our tastes are very similar. But actually your list is more varied in terms of styles, from Simon and Garfunkel to AC/DC. Interesting.

Awesome. I used to have 2 Steve Harley albums that I loved, but I never heard the one you got here. I had Love's a Prima Donna and one just called Cockney Rebel that had Come Up and See Me on it. That's one of my favorite songs of all time. I even put it on my Greatest Singles chart. It's awesome.
