Some nice selections. may put one up.

 

[adamw]

Oh god, another list. :S
This might actually be easier for me than the other top 25 we've been asked to submit.... most of mine will probably be on good old fashioned LP format.

Some really fantastic selections so far too.

It's kinda nice to see people's musical preferences outside of house music... and some hints as to influences pre and post rave.

Good thread.
