Can only pick 30, and with a big catalogue to chose from, it's no surprise it doesn't make everyone's list.

Not listened to the 'Dadawah' release but I'd imagine a continuation along the same line.

All done to deflect from their own failings in govt.
Need someone to blame...blame the foreigner/POC.
Not done by accident & been years in the making...Brexit being the Pandora's Box.

Find most taxi drivers, both racist & bigoted in equal measure imo.
Used to be junkies & drunks they would moan about. Not today, today it's foreigners & ppl of colour.
Stuck in a cab & listening to Talk Radio & BBC has a lot to answer for imo.

An extra £820m over three years, but conveniently forgetting that we received £6 billion less in 2024 than we received in 2020. She's fooling no one.

Great album, and a cert to have been in my 5, if not for 1970 being the release year in Jamaica (so, not sure if it counts).
2019 was the UK release.

Was thinking of "Screaming Target" myself, until i noticed '72 was the Jamaica release & UK release not until '73. Which i think means "Chi Chi Run" is the debut release in '72.

2 in Top 5 & another in Top 50.
Probably the only one voting for my other nominees, so not a bad outcome.
Nice Job once again Rich 👏 👏 👏
