Thanks all.
Thanks! Maybe for the metal stuff you'd need to been into it as a kid/teen to appreciate it like I do, but all of the albums chosen here are still listened to - and treasured by me.

^ Thanks for the list, and hope to see the other years. I forgot to add Hellebore to my list, now have it in the playlist with "Introduction végétarienne" as my Il y a des jours representative. And I added Paga's "Une parcelle d'Urantia" from the 1985 album as I recalled that later.

completely forgot to include Le Parc on my list. The whole album is great and ''Streethawk'' is superb but I would probably have gone for Yellowstone Park (ft Clare Tory). I think some rap artist ripped off the opening 'oriental style' intro, I only became aware as it was used in a much shown car advert on UK tv up to recently.
