No.1665 14/04/2021 – The 1981 album, Faith, by The Cure celebrates a 40th anniversary today! The band continued with their hypnotic gloomy tones with their third LP. Well received by critics at the time, but Faith now is often cited as an underrated classic. How do you rate?

The debut self-titled Iron Maiden album celebrates its 30th anniversary today! With Paul Di’Anno on lead vocals the LP was a game changer in the British Heavy Metal scene. Includes Prowler, Running Free and the excellent Phantom of the Opera. Love it!

No.951 14/04/2019

The 2009 solo Bill Callahan (not Smog) album Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle is 10 years old today! More accessible than previous work, but also darker. Callahan’s baritone delivers simple songs, with complex arrangements. Orchestral lo-fi…if there is such a thing!

No.586 14/04/2018

The Grease Soundtrack is 40 years old today! Selling over 28 million copies, Grease is one of the bestselling soundtracks of all time. Includes the UK Number Ones You’re the One That I Want and Summer Nights. Admit it…you love it really? P.s I’ve never seen the film. Should I?

The New York CBGBs regulars the Dead Boys, released their debut album Young Loud and Snotty in 1977, and it’s angry, lewd and full of spit. Love the opening track Sonic Reducer.
