Re:  Top Ten ALbums List

     I, for one, found the list of top albums of interest, and not because
it legitimized my own tastes.  (It didn't.)  I have discovered some excel-
lent music (that I would have otherwise ignored) by listening to what other
people have recommended.

     I like a great deal of the music named in the survey, but I don't think
that I suffer from tunnel vision.  For instance, in the last year I have
added the following to my collection:

     Bink Floyd (Wish You Were Here),
     Barbra Streisand,
     Tangerine Dream (Exit, Stratosfear, Force Majeure, ...),
     A Clockwork Orange (soundtrack),
     Mystic Moods Orchestra (Stormy Night),
     Air Supply,
     Lee Greenwood (Somebody's Gonna Love You), /* COUNTRY! */
     Sibelius (Finlandia), /* CLASSICAL */
     Roxy Music (Avalon),
     George Winston (December),
     Kitaro (Silver Cloud),
     Flashdance (soundtrack),
     etc.

     Admittedly my tastes run to "mainstream" popular music, but not to
the exclusion of all else.  (I have not, however, found anyone else with
as eclectic tastes as my own.)
