not sure we defined the criteria for selecting the records...how about
1) helped carve a new direction
2) took a direction already established and made the definative version of it
3) damn great melody that lives on forever
4) defined a time in your life
5) ......??
Some of these are contradictory , so obviously the records dont have to meet all the above and may only meet 1 criteria. Any other suggestions for criteria....
this will help people pick selections too I think....( damn we all sound so bloody earnest...)
