On this Day in Music – 30th May

Previous Albums Of The Day

No.1364 30/05/2020

The Billy Bragg album Mermaid Avenue Vol. II celebrates a 20th anniversary today! The LP is a collection of previously unheard lyrics written by folk singer Woody Guthrie, put to music by Billy Bragg and Wilco. The perfect musicians for this project.

No.997 30/05/2019

The 2018 Thom Yorke soundtrack album Suspiria is hypnotic, creepy and altogether fascinating. The LP was the Radiohead frontman’s first soundtrack, and the track Suspirium was nominated for an Academy Award. Very unsettling…

No.632 30/05/2018

Watershed by the Swedish metal band Opeth is 10 years old today. The album was well received especially by Metal Hammer magazine, and apparently was their last LP to feature the signature death metal growl synonymous with the genre. Epic stuff!

No.267 30/05/2017

The 1966 debut album Freak Out! by Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention. Surreal, wacky and warped. All hail Suzy Creamcheese!
