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!

Style Council - Our Favourite Shop
The The - Mind Bomb
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - Damn the Torpedos

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.
