I don't know, just a basic library -- what should everyone have listened to at least once so as to get a sense of the whole sweep and scope of Mudcat territory (folk/blues mostly Anglo/Celtic/American/Aussie/Canadian? (Add others to suit your taste -- Belgian?) I am interested because I have all these horrible gaps that the Mudcat has helped to fill in for me, and I still have lots. For instance, I know nothing -- and I mean nothing -- about Australian folk music, and wouldn't know what the 10 best/basic albums would be. It is really depressing. Maybe other people would find such a list fruitful. We have had various threads along these lines -- but this might order some of it.
Are these good criteria?
yours, Peter T.
