A few replies on Facebook.

Always interesting to see if you have missed a gem over the years:

......
1. Led Zeppelin - Complete Studio Recordings Box Set
......

In my eyes that is cheating. Bad enough selecting a compilation album of 'hits' let alone a box set of the complete sudio recordings.
Pfft.

Well I scanned through the above lists looking for albums I wasn't acquainted with.

I checked out a few.

The big find was

The Webb Brothers - Maroon.

A mix of

XTC - Skylarking
Love - Forever Changes
and Brian Wilson at his quirkiest

The lyrics are as off the wall as you would expect, when you consider their dad write a song about leaving a cake out in the rain.
