Jeg tror ikke, jeg nogensinde vil kunne lave en liste over mine 20 højestplacerede favoritalbums. Alene det at skulle udpege en af Bob Dylans eller Beatles’ album, der er den bedste, ville få mig i store vanskeligheder. Men det er omvendt en fornøjelse at studere andres lister, fx denne fra Tom Waits. Blandt andet, fordi der er musik, jeg ikke eller kun overfladisk har et forhold til. Det gælder Gavin Bryers The Sinking of the Titanic,  Texas-Chech (?), Bil Hicks og Les Claypool. Men så lærer man ny musik at kende, og det er det gode ved det.
