Very true mate, and it’s having the space too.
When this thread is finally over, I’ll be going through it from start to finish and writing down all the videos and other bits of info you guys have contributed about bands and tracks I’ve never heard before. I’ll then be hunting down some of those songs or albums. It never ends!

No.213: “Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme” by Simon & Garfunkel (1966)
The duo’s second album with the title taken from their sublime folk single ‘Scarborough Fair’.
This is a very good album, great instrument separation and a good test for headphones.
Equally, there is much you have posted that I haven’t heard of, or haven’t listened to in ages. I’m on a bit of a Journey jag through my Google Music and enjoying it very much.
Lovely Floydy
Sticky Fingers not even reaching the top 211 ?
These are Sticky Fingers.An OZ band which cite Floyd as one of their influences.I’m fairly sure they are not going to appear in your big list in the future so I’ve included a link.
Kick On
Thanks Ffosse 
Still another two Journey albums to come too 
No mate, sadly not, but there are still some more Stones albums to come a bit higher up (but not much higher:confused:)
Work won’t let me play it right now mate, but I’ll take a look before tomorrow’s albums, thanks
Enjoying the latest and the videos…and I agree with you that there are suggestions that have me peeling off to iTunes or Pandora to add to my playlists.
Back to listening. Thanks all!
Glad you’re still liking the selections, Surfermom. I do my best
Into the 200 then, and it’s Led Zepp to kick off with…
No.200: “In Through The Out Door” by Led Zeppelin (1979)
Led Zeppelin’s swansong (and on their Swansong label), the band went out with a bang and on a high with this excellent album. Of course it wasn’t previously nas a final record but with the death of drummer John Bonham the band made the emphatic decision to call it a day.
Two videos from their infamous Knebworth concert:

No.199: “Eliminator” by ZZ Top (1983)
If MTV was made for any band then ZZ Top’s fun, crazy and colourful videos were the perfect ‘vehicle’ for the music station. The band were suddenly thrust into the limelight and 1984 belonged to them. Three songs below including lesser-known single ‘TV Dinners’ as it’s a bit of a classic.
Can’t really miss this one out can we?
No.198: “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” by Elton John (1973)
Final one from Elton (I think) in the list and it had to be this tour de force of a double album from '73. In his element, Elt turned into a megastar with this release and toured the world’s stages in duck feathers, 20" platforms and shades like wing mirrors. Four songs here, the final one being the highlight of the album ‘Funeral For A Friend’, which is in the next post.
No.197: “Different Class” by Pulp (1995)
One of the quintessential bands of the Britpop era with their biggest, most fantastic album. Jarvis Cocker is surely one of the best songwriters of any generation, witty, socially adept and with a smattering of seriously deep black humour, he has the performing skills to match. Check out the third song here as it’s a true classic and a late Glastonbury national anthem, ‘Sorted For E’z & Wizz’.
No.196: “The Raven” by The Stranglers (1979)
Classic Stranglers of the late 70’s, The Raven was initially packaged in a hologram sleeve (wish I still had that!). The music contained was of their usual dark and mysterious style with that Dave greenfield keyboard sound to propel it along to the vocals talents of Hugh Cornwell and JJ Burnell.
No.195: “Aftermath” by The Rolling Stones (1966)
A Stones album with no official hit singles taken from it could have been commercial suicide right in the middle of The Beatles’ world domination in 1966, but this album was strong enough to carry the band in its own right, especially when Chris Farlowe took ‘Out Of Time’ to No.1 in the UK.
Two more Stones albums still to come.

I agree Ffosse. Any Simon & Garfunkel is best listened to through headphones.
Aftermath is nearly my favourite Stones album.
My favourite is still to come
Maybe it’s already been posted but are the Small Faces on your list?
