Beautiful end to the world's most prolific artists ever. The medley broke the boundaries of how a record could be recorded. Includes some of the best songs ever written e.g. Come Together & Here Comes the Sun.

An album from David Bowie's best period, with classics such as "Moonage Daydream" and "Starman", every song has you dancing or/and singing along. Awful shame about his death as "Blackstar" showed that he still had a lot to offer musically.

A true re-inventor and innovator, Beck demonstrated how samples could be used cleverly to span across multiple genres. Some great dance-able tracks while still showing his songwriting ability with tracks like Ramshackle and Jackass.

Best album of the decade so far, Kendrick Lamar has already affirmed his place among hip-hop gods, arguably already the greatest of them all. Possibly the most thought-provoking album I have ever listened to, while offering more than a few anthems for the oppressed, particularly in black american communities.

An album that takes many people a few listens, but once it clicks, it becomes a monster of an album. Chilling, beautiful and thrilling.

Although I was born after Nevermind, the hoodies and memorabilia didn't fade until the late 2000's. Over 20 years have passed and time has revealed that this was no fad, incredibly infectious and at times unnerving with wonderful riffs.
