Lavinia:

I dropped the Beatles for the Beastie Boys....it was as a dilemma. Have to say both your lists show a lot more balance than mine. I have regrets to have missed Johnny Cash and Elvis. Lavinia's inclusion of Janet Jackson makes me more happy about Duran Duran.

Tri Repetae - Autechre
Force Majeure - Tangerine Dream

Interesting addition of the Clouds. I have big regrets for not including the Hummingbirds & Plunderers given they were such a big part of my early music life. Maybe a Sydney music top 15 is in order for me.
