Wow thats a surprise, Agnes Strange, early seventies tail end of what was known as hard rock, nice one.Re Gilmore first album not too bad,, bit like Manuel Gotterschings work at the time as Ashra. However oi agree About Face , a real disappointing effort.
Glad you mentioned Hendrix, i was wondering if he will appear.

About Face suffered even worse than Gilmour's first. I played it again recently in the car and thought it was a real disappointment. The single 'Blue Light' is abysmal and typical 80's synth trash. It's lucky it made my list tbh.
Yeah, Hendrix hasn't been in yet. There were only three albums proper, so expect them to turn up...later

Second album from this excellent and durable trio fronted by Tom Chaplin who apparently match The Beatles for the record of their first six albums going straight in at No.1.

They don't have a guitarist, or don't use one very often.
Quite remarkable.

Rare for me not to go for a beer on a Saturday afternoon, it's too bloody cold to walk to the pub. So:No.515: "Sacred Spirit" (Chants And Dances Of The Native Americans) (1995)
You wouldn't be expecting this sort of thing would you? I don't know how authentic this album is, but apparently these are genuine traditional songs performed by these wise native Americans, who are anonymously uncredited on the album, save for the remix duties of various DJs.
I love this album as it's a very mellow listening experience and has that melancholy edge to it all.

No.514: "Like An Old-Fashioned Waltz" by Sandy Denny (1973)
Ex-Fairport Convention, Fotheringay and Strawbs singer-songwriter who also duetted with Robert Plant on Led Zepp's 'Battle Of Evermore'.
Denny sadly suffered a fall down the stairs whilst under medical prescription during used to help alcohol issues. before that though she did leave us with some marvellous material, including this highlight. Two beautiful tracks from it:

No.513: "Ragged Glory" by Neil Young & Crazy Horse (1990)
Into the 1990's with Neil Young, who could be from any time it wouldn't matter and it wouldn't make any difference to his sound. This one featured his trusty band Crazy Horse and is one of his full on rock albums. This is a track from the album performed live around the time:
