GUTTERBREAKZ TOP 100 BRITISH ALBUMS

Following on from K-Punk's list, I humbly submit my own selection, presented in the same format as Mark, in no particular order, but catagorised by decade. It's dominated by white artists too, but that's because I can't include Americans or Jamaicans. Not much female action either - a constant concern of mine. Difficult to pin-down what to include from the '00s - not enough time has elapsed for me to truly gauge their significance.
