Thanks Daniel.  With Sonny on a break if you want to top up your suggestions to a full hour then I am happy to accommodate?  No pressure though as I know you are handling other playlists also.

That's all I've had the chance to listen to over the last month mate. Might just go with that as it's clear that I've been spending most of my listening time filling gaps in my coverage of 1992/93 & I'm sure you've got enough material from that period now anyway.

Quoted Daniel

No worries mate.

How weird that Altar of Sacrifice is on December's playlist - what are the chances. Could you change my pick to "Jesus Saves" instead, Vinny please. I have always considered the two as being inextricably linked together anyway.
