Yeh farkn classic album!

Sorry for the late response.

I was making a smartarse reference to arguments that claim 1990 as a part of the 80s decade. The arguments basis is that the first ever year was year one and therefore the first decade is 1-10. Extrapolate and you get to 1981-1990.

It’s a rubbish argument

Yes…it’s a rubbish argument :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

How goes selling the house?

Thanks chilly :slight_smile:

Can I interest you in also doing lists for the 70s, 80s and 2000s that are already up…and the 60s, 2010s and 202s that are still coming?

If so, can I ask you to use the format Artist Name - Album (as that’s how I’m entering them in the spreadsheet. Cheers

Onto it over the next 2 days.
70’s and 80’s more my wheelhouse…
