Other notable albums on the list (i.e. bands I’ve hard of) are Earwig’s Perfect Past Tense at no. 8, Howlin’ Maggie’s Honeysuckle Strange at no. 17, O.A.R.’s The Wanderer at no. 23 and Watershed’s The More It Hurts, The More It Works at no. 69.

Bands not appearing on the list are Red Wanting Blue, The Pike Band and House of Cards.
