There are two lists here:
- My FAVOURITE TRACKS. This is always growing, as I remeber or find more – good music is being produced all the time, and occasionally an exceptional track comes along. But you will note most of the list is rock/metal.
- GOOD TRACKS. I think worthy of note. Many of these are not rock, never mind metal – and many are distictly uncool – including Any Williams and Black Box! But they have caught my ear at some time.
Tell me what you think I have missed, or should have.
