The Album Years
Music is finite, opinions are endless. On The Album Years podcast, long term friends, collaborators and music nerds Steven Wilson and Tim Bowness discuss and bicker about their favourite music released during the golden album years, which they reckon to be from around 1965 to the end of the millennium. Each episode focuses on a single year picked at random. At the end of each episode they pick their personal favourites and the album they think had the most long-term impact on music. Can you guess which albums they will pick?

We've launched 'The Album Years Listener Hub' at fanlist.com/thealbumyears where you can send us audio and text messages (please keep audio messages to 30 seconds max!) for inclusion on future episodes of the show! The next year we will be covering is 1972, so if you have your own reviews of any album that year you'd like us to hear and feature on the show, send them in - we'd love to hear them!

1985 was another sensational year for music. On this first part of our foray into the mid-eighties, we discuss the first album in history to sell over one million copies on CD (Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms fact fans), Phil Collins' smash hit album No Jacket Required, Prince's underrated follow up to 'Purple Rain' and much more (David Sylvian and Van Morrison? Check!).
