Surfergirlbj1 'n Music

Surfergirlbj1

Since moving to Australia I have been less passionate about music and more interested in living life in the outdoors (well in the day at least...).

However as a teen I won nearly every piano competition in town and for a short period my ambition in life was to be a concert pianist, kind of crossed with a songwriter-rock-chick (haha).
Instead I have ended up having a career in Insurance.

Below is my top 20 albums/records ever (well more or less) in no particular order.
They are largely obscure and I just KNOW bleachy will make a smart comment!


90's & now-ish
Faithless - Sunday 8pm
Josh Groban - Closer
Oasis - Whats the Story Morning Glory/Definitely Maybe
Robbie Williams - Swing when your Winning/Escapology
Ministry of Sound - Boy George/Pete Tong 1997

80's
Style Council - Our Favourite Shop
The The - Mind Bomb
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - Damn the Torpedos
Human League - Hysteria
Yazoo - Upstairs at Erics
Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes (yes this was released in the 80s not 90s like everyone in Australia seems to think!)

70's
Eagles - Greatest Hits vol 2
Commodores - Machine Gun
Diana Ross - Diana (well she's better than Marcia - ha)

The Jam - Snap

    Some great choices, and also some questionable ones :)

    most are noot so obscure to me anyway...

    Yazoo gave me a chuckle... was surprised not to see any Kenny G! lol.
