Ana, for some reason I absolutely cannot muster up an image of you listening to Bruce Springsteen. Nice list though, even if there is a massive lack of Paul McCartney.

I only like that album TBH =[

Look how indie kev & JP are leaving the Stones completely off of their lists. I'm sure the Fall have better records than Exile on main st LOL!!!

she has Emitt Rhodes, which counts as 6 talented Paul McCartneys.

sticky fingers is 83 on my list bruv.

listened to exile on main street again the other day and have to say its one of the most overated records of all time.

I've put you on ignore.

Exile is no.59 on my list cunt, listened to it last night actually, never really clicked with the Stones album wise, but that along with Let it Bleed is probably my favourite.

Not gonna get points from you though
