Formative Albums

The album that probably most closely matches what it sounds like inside my own head.

The very distillation of all that I thought was cool in the 1990s.

Another album that always seemed to be on in the background at whichever mate's house you were hanging out at.

The album that got me into UK hip hop. This album was a constant soundtrack to several years of my life.

The first hip hop album I had on vinyl. Played it to death, especially "I Got a Love".

Probably the album that really got me into hip hop

Unquestionably the best "Britpop" album.

I was a bit young for the Happy Mondays, but I listened to this on my walk to school every day for weeks

I once read a description of Leftfield as having "total mastery of their sound" and I couldn't really disagree
