Oh yes Evangelist will be on my list although more because G.McLennan no more :-( I recently found the Botany Sessions - boot of the album that never was just before they split..fascinating stuff...

I have to agree with Rob on the top ten being a tad negative in some respects. As I am here in my role as founder of the AFcollective (artistic freedom) I would not care to choose a top ten :)
however as a Dj on AFcollective radio station there are Like Rob on his MEDICINE SHOW some artists that I play more than Others.
I would point out that I do play
Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian circus of Dreams regularly on the station (that makes at least 2 radio stations playing them) :)
