Throbbing Angel and anyone else you can still vote btw. Just send a list in. I have received 9 so far, which is a reasonable.
23 = B.T. Express – Do It ('Til You're Satisfied)
Lonely no.1. Sorry this didn't make it, I'm sure it was an almost for everyone.

It was an almost for me. One that I went 'interesting...' and with a couple more listens would either have been top 10 or wiped from every online record and my memory.
20 - Curtis Mayfield - Sweet Exorcist
Talking of underrated... Maybe slower but funkier and more soulful than ever.

19 - Fred Wesley And The J.B.'s – Damn Right I Am Somebody
Well I really enjoyed what they did in 73 and.... I really enjoyed what they did 74.

16 - Bohannon - Keep on Dancin'
Funky funky disco and also some slow jazz numbers. No! Some slow jazz numbers and also some funk funk disco.

15 - Sparks - Kimono in my House
I didn't really like their first two, maybe I should give this a listen... Oh it has This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of Us on it. The rest of it also appears to be nuts.

14 - Tom Waits - The Heart of Saturday Night
Appears to be still in his smoky jazz singer songwriter phase. Really should give this a proper listen...

13 - Little Feat - Feats Dont Fail me Now
Doing that funky country thing they do. Like the most American sound possible but I guess it was original in its time.

12 - Richard and Linda Thompson - I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight
Richard Thompson always confuses me by making British folk rock sound like country and western. I'm confused by this. It's probably great?

a magnificent description
11 - Hawkwind - Hall of the Mountain Grill
Well I'm not confused by this. Space rock that is definitely space rock. Also Lemmy has a song.

10 - King Tubby Meets The Upsetter at the Grass Roots of Dub
King Tubby meets Lee Perry. How could this fail? It couldn't and it didn't.

7 - Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom
I've listened to this a thousand times and I still cannot describe it to you. Jazz but definitely not jazz. Pop but definitely not pop. Someone give it a go.

5 - Bob Marley and the Wailers - Natty Dread
Compilation surely!!! No? Just good all the way through. I see.

Lamb Lies Down on Broadway? Interesting choice....
Any other guesses for the top three. Top two within a smidgen of each other.
