N&G 500 - my top 50
#4: Gillian Welch - Time (The Revelator)
I adore Gillian Welch. I've seen her live many times, and she's consistently amazing (she's pretty likely to have two releases in my top 5 for 2020). This, for me, is her masterpiece. Can't wait for it to come out on vinyl, hopefully next year (it's the only one of my top 50 I don't own on wax). A highlight of her gigs has been seeing her play the closer I Dream A Highway as a rare encore. First time I saw her I had to buy a DVD in order to get something signed (not entirely sure I've actually watched the DVD). And Revelator the song would definitely be a Desert Island Disc too...

#3: Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou - Kings of Benin
I'd take any of my top 3 as my favourite album. Everyone knows my love of Poly-Rythmo, and it was a little difficult to pick one album from them. Their own first compilation (ALS 001) is perhaps my favourite of their OGs while Vol 4 is their best album. This compilation from Soundway contains the killer song from Vol 4, plus several of the best tracks from ALS 001 and it's a release that is reasonably easy to pick up. So many top tunes on it.

#2: Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Racing through as I decided to post the final few before going to bed! (I listened to all these in the past few days to sort out my ranking). This and my number 1 have been my favourite albums for close to 30 years. I love the light and shade on this album, the power, the subtlety. Glorious...

#1: The Beatles - Revolver
For me, the perfect album and the perfect Beatles record - a blend between their early incredible knack for a tune and their later extraordinary inventiveness. This one has it all.

Nina Simone – The Artistry Of Nina Simone (RCA, 1983 Compilation Pressing)
I consider myself a complete novice to Nina Simone's music, she's just someone that has evaded me for quite some time. This compilation is fantastic and certainly makes me want to dive into her discography.

Oasis - The Masterplan
If it wasn’t for the fact that I wasn’t allowing compilations this would have been in my top 50 instead of Morning Glory. It’s amazing just how many amazing songs Oasis used as b-sides in their early days, it made singles releases feel every bit as vital as album releases for teenage Joe!
