Sources

The Times' list is said to have some small mistakes. Also, annother source is speaking of 143 records. -- Simplicius (talk) 15:25, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Legion of Superheroes

This list dates it as 2000, but I heard Peel play it first in 1968.

No Beefheart?

I find it quite astounding that there were no Beefheart/Magic Band gems nestling in that box, considering he was 'in at the beginnings' in the US as a DJ & quite emotional at UK gigs.

I remember reading that he used to update the box every so often, depending on his whims - I surmise over time he would have whittled down the near-dozen White Stripes records (for example). And of course he might have had a separate box for Captain Beefheart. It could also be that he didn't bother keeping things he could simply buy again, and perhaps he didn't have any Captain Beefheart rarities. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 21:54, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

And no Zappa??? And no New Order? He absolutely loved New Order almost as much as his precious The Fall (which he also kept completely separate from his main collection). But, it's possible they were once in there as has been stated. -- sugarfish (talk) 15:30, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Same for The Smiths. Their first album was in his Top 20 Of All Time.

Ordering (Alphabetical or Otherwise)

I didn't want to make changes as it's possible that there is a reason, but some of the singles listed seem to not be in alphabetical order. This is obvious toward the end of the list. It's possible someone is just too lazy to reorder as it would involve renumbering also. Yeah, I know there's the sorting function, but still, the initial sorting is off. -- sugarfish (talk) 15:34, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
