Songs from Great Albums Turning Twenty-Five This Year
___________
IN a run of Lockdown Playlists…
that collates songs from albums celebrating big anniversaries this year, I am heading back twenty-five years to 1996. It was another hugely impressive year for music and, as Britpop was sort of fading and there was a sense of change in the air, we saw so many terrific and original albums come through that provided fresh directions and possibilities. I think some of the finest albums of the 1990s arrived in 1996 so, to show that, I have chosen a song from each of the biggest albums of that year. These are important records that are going to turn twenty-five this year and, with that, there will be new attention - and people who may not have heard the albums before will discover them. Enjoy prime cuts from magnificent albums that celebrate their twenty-fifth anniversary…
THIS year.
