    Is there seriously someone called Andrew Bird who did an album called the Production of Eggs.
    I like to hear that....

    If I list my top 20 albums it's going to be Victor Krummenacher and Pearl Jam, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden's - Bad Motor Finger, Superunknown and DOTU, plus Chris Cornell's Euphoria Morning. 4 Albums by Riverside/Mariusz Duda. Camper Van Beethoven's New Roman Times.
    As that amounts to 30 = definitely breaking the rules there.
    My list would definitely be overfilling the cup!

    Kathleen Edwards- Asking for Flowers

    Now if you were to ask me my top 20 albums of all time, that's a totally different story.
    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    -Tom Waits
