My vote is for Mr Cope - not for Head On which was great, but for his
"Krautrocksampler" which is his write-up of his favourite German music,
including a priceless top 50 run-down.  The man has a way of writing which
makes you ACHE to hear the record he's describing.  The most passionate 
book
about music I've ever read.

P.S. Oliver Postgate - I feel a childrens' telly conversation coming on...
