    The Doors — The Doors

    In my opinion, they never outdid their debut effort

    Drake! You must be joking - it's not 1st April you know!

    I don't own any Deep Purple, Santana or Tom Waits and have no plans to change that situation.

    However, I wouldn't be without a copy of Eno's HCtWJ's - is it an essential though - more so that Another Green World?

    On the other hand, yes to Hunky Dory, I think that really is an 'essential'.

    You obviously don't hear great music as we do!

    Drake, he can't even talk in tune with the auto-tune turned up to maximum - utterly talentless!
