A list that has most of what it takes

Those who know me intimately might realise I used to listen to INXS as a child they were unavoidable on radio in Australia anyway) but nowadays tend to accept the criticisms of people like Joe S. Harrington. Despite the fact that I really, utterly hate the Offspring and Nirvana, I do not mind the way in which the writer here comments about his musical history: after all, that was one of the factors that solidified Joe S. Harrington and David Keenan in my memory.

There are some obscure albums on ths list, notably one by a female duo called Frogpond.
