    As Ginger is there your ten qualifies as a Baker's dozen then?
    I see this is a Lifetime selection.

          Whilst I respect that appreciation of music is very personal and very much in the ear and perception of the listener - but how on earth did John Lydon get in there - I doubt he would get near my top 1000?

            You either get it, or you don't. That's how it is with art.

            P.S. Let's have your list, please.

                  Benjamin Britten, of course. Perhaps Mozart.

                  'All time' has not finished, however, so who knows what is to come?
