Another FAQ  8-)

Ob is obligatory (blame Steve Swann again!)   He got it from the grunge
board and it was adopted here as a way of indicating favourite other
albums (apart from Hawkwind and BOC) without extoling them at length as
off-topic discussions.   It has expanded over time into the occasional
personal comment as well!
