101/500 Led Zeppelin-Led Zeppelin. Great. Full of punch and amazing musicianship, but none of it takes away from the frankly stunning songs. Yes a couple are blues standards, but it’s a cohesive wonderful thing. #500best2020 #bestalbums

We need a better copy on YouTube. Great performance. I like it better than the studio recording.

102/500 The Clash-The Clash. Actually what I’d call a proper punk album, loads of attitude and very little fuss. Lots of edge and hang the marketable singles. Not really my thing but worth the explore. #500best2020 #Bestalbums.
