[bada]

I have a hard time getting behind a list when there is an artist I never heard of in the top 10. Who the hell is Richard and Linda Thompson?

[Heathen]

Also, London Calling came out in 1979.

I know. That's so punk of them to include it in the 80s list.

and yet, somehow, Michael Jackson was the sexual deviant

Richard Thompson is one of the most skilled guitarists of the last fifty years.

is there anything of his I'm likely to recognize, or is this one of those 'musicians revere him and no one else knows him' kind of things?

Behind Prince?

I'd put him behind Prince. But stylistically he's very different. His acoustic guitar work is pretty legendary.

He wrote Wall of Death, which R.E.M. covered.

That's why I know that name! I do love that cover.

[Lament]
