35TH ANNIVERSARY
Public Enemy - Fear Of A Black Planet (1990)
Favourite Track: Fight The Power
Containing the greatest hip hop song of all time 'Fight The Power', their third album, the sonically and lyrically game changing 'Fear of a Black Planet' turns 35 today
50TH ANNIVERSARY
Aerosmith - Toys In The Attic (1975)
Favourite Track: Sweet Emotion
'Toys In the Attic' alongside it's successor 'Rocks' is the pinnacle of Aerosmith's output, forget 'Get A Grip', it's no match for the sheer genius of where the band were at in the mid 70s
20TH ANNIVERSARY
Tom Vek - We Have Sound (2005)
Favourite Track: I Ain't Saying My Goodbyes
I've always been able to tell if I'm going to have a good chat about music with someone if Tom Vek comes up in the conversation
20TH ANNIVERSARY
Hot Hot Heat - Elevator (2005)
Favourite Track: Island Of The Honest Man
Hot Hot Heat's second album is an indie-pop gem that still sounds as fresh and catchy as the day it was released (particularly on a glorious spring day like today).
30TH ANNIVERSARY
Mudhoney - My Brother The Cow (1995)
Favourite Track: Execution Style
The follow up to 'Piece Of Cake' whilst not quite as coherent as it's predecessor is still a cracking listen and contains the controversial 'Into Yer Shtik'
30TH ANNIVERSARY
Ol' Dirty Bastard - Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version (1995)
Favourite Track: Proteck Ya Neck II the Zoo
A classic of hardcore hip hop that completely changed the face of rap taking it to darker and more intense places than ever before.
30TH ANNIVERSARY
The Boo Radleys - Wake Up! (1995)
Favourite Track: It's Lulu
It's rare today for a band to get to their fourth album before becoming international superstars but that's exactly what happened with The Boo Radleys and 'Wake Up!' which turns 30 today.
25TH ANNIVERSARY
Embrace - Drawn From Memory (2000)
Favourite Track: Yeah You
Embrace delivered a 2nd album that was sonically more inventive than its predecessor taking influence from more diverse sources than your standard Britpop fare creating a truly great album.
45TH ANNIVERSARY
The Beach Boys - Keepin' The Summer Alive (1980)
Favourite Track: Livin' With A Heartache
It's a mish mash of songs and is pretty directionless as a whole, but....there are still some absolutely wonderful songs on here that get overlooked.
