Emil Wessels' Top 30 albums

I'm a professional photographer. I worked for the press as well as for the SABC for 15 years. I've been working on my own since 1997. I work in the entertainment industry, as well as on stills on movie sets. I shoot publicity pics for many of the radio stations. I did the pics for 5fm for most of my time spent at the SABC. I've shot tons of music concerts, such as The Stones, ZZ Top, Bon Jovi, etc, hence my love for music.I love the Blackmore-era of Deep Purple.

Most of my top 30 albums are guitar-driven.The likes of Hendrix, Page, Gallagher and Stevie Ray Vaughan are always in the car's CD shuttle. Burning compilations via I Tunes just opens so many choices while you drive!

Guys like Chris, Rafe, Phil and Mr. Economides exposed me to a brand of music not usually available on the broad cross-section of radio, and for this, I thank you.
