    Heard him on WXPN. I had to look up the playlists on their site to find out what this instrumental guitar piece was (www.xpn.org

    Anyone ever heard of him/listen to Leo Kottke?

    There were some albums I expected to be higher like Nick Drake's Pink Moon and Hendrix Are you experienced?

    It was really cool listening to the higher (800s and 700s) numbers since it was so random. It became slightly more predictable toward the top...

    And hey, I had no problem with beatles albums ranking so high. They created reams of great music and it's original. I can't argue with that.

    Leo Kottke's "6 and 12 String Guitar" is one of the best guitar albums I've ever heard--highly highly recommended.
