Well, the quality wobbles about but the trajectory seems to me to be clear. More better stuff year in year. No longer is music catalogued by the charts, then NME, then whatever happened after that. There are people making music now that they sell direct. I have been to gigs in London by artists...
Here's what's missing from the 72 list that I have on vinyl or CD or both:
Gentle Giant - Octopus
Matching Mole - Matching Mole
Black Sabbath - vol 4
The Groundhogs - Hogwash
The Beach boys - Carl and the passions - so tough!
FFS! And that's just off the top o' me 'ead.
