I had such fun with this one's fan art, that I am going to leave you to explore this brilliant album by yourself without a mini-essay. It opens and closes with the legendary Shine On You Crazy Diamond. #pinkfloyd #wishyouwerehere

Two number ones, a #DustySpringfield collab, contributions by #EnnioMorricone and #TwinPeaks maestro #AngeloBadalamenti, and a vampire in your music video, who would later become #Gandalf in #TheHobbit and #LordoftheRings. That a good enough resume for an album? Yes, that's #petshopboysactually !

Not only is it my favourite #pinkfloyd album, but also one of my favourite albums of all time. #amomentarylapseofreason is one of the albums that made 1987 one of the best years in music IMHO. Though I prefer the snare drum sound of the original album, the 2019 mix is equally epic and cinematic.

Perhaps I need to give Parachutes another listen, but A Rush of Blood to the Head was the first album that made me a Coldplay fan.
Released on this day in 2002, one year before I would pursue my music dream in the UK.

“Nothing personal, just business,” we often say. At the same time we are becoming invisible in a culture of desperation and greed. We've become less human, as our hearts harden with pride, vanity and selfish ambition, while our compassion for each other evaporates.

Known mainly as a country music icon, Dolly was a prolific songwriter for others. I will always remember her masterful version of Stairway to Heaven and her collaboration with for KING & COUNTRY on God Only Knows.

It delivered stadium anthem Everything Counts, but also one of my old favourites, because of deep cuts like Pipeline and Alan Wilder crafts like Two Minute Warning. From scary carnivals in More Than a Party to the moody outtro of The Landscape is Changing, masterful youth! #constructiontimeagain

Farewell Claire Bear. I'm so sorry. IMHO one of the most beautiful actresses of all time. As a metaphor for our unique gifts, callings and the struggles that accompany them, Heroes 1-5 will always be one of my favourite series of all time.

Australia certainly dominated iconic albums in the beginning of August, where one of my favourite years in music, 1987, also features strongly. Welcome to Wherever You Are by INXS, one of my favourite albums of all time, creatively employed different artwork for its LP, CD and cassette formats.

Woodface by Crowded House helped to make 1991 one of the greatest years in music. It features five singles: "Chocolate Cake", "Fall at Your Feet", "It's Only Natural", "Weather with You", and "Four Seasons in One Day"

I wasn't the biggest fan of Roxette albums after Have a Nice Day, until 2016's Good Karma. It is still the latest Roxette studio album and is also the last to feature the late Marie Fredriksson. Very underrated, but fantastic pop-rock songs and production. #roxette #roxettegoodkarma

Celebrating Take On Me and it’s groundbreaking music video of painstaking rotoscoping, the epic anthem The Sun Always Shines on TV, Train of Thought’s soaring “and his mind once full of reason…”, and the indescribably beautiful ballad and title track, Hunting High and Low.
