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?

Customer Reviews
Dark Side Of The Moon
I've recently binged on all the Vinyl Years episodes and have really enjoyed the podcasts, it's filling some type of void, I'm not sure what...however, I have one slight disagreement - I think a fresh new commentary on albums that are in the "I can't listen to it anymore" category would be actually really interesting - why not really overdo it?! DSOTM, LZ4, CTTE, Abby Rd etc.
Benefits?
Lots of ‘em. Great, great podcast. I’m a house painter(no red please), and I’ve just binged them all on this last job. Massively entertaining. Two knowledgeable guys, one a professor and Steven Wilson. Amazing that they have such a deep understanding of so many albums and can tie an artists career together across the decades. Hard bias for Eno, Fripp and Hamill? Absoulutely!!
2000
I’m glad you mentioned Mellon Collie from the Pumpkins for your 1995 episode. Very ambitious and successful double album. The sequel to Mellon Collie is Machina which came out in 2000. They are conceptual records and the main character Zero becomes Glass. When you do 2000, please do your homework and discover the greatness of Machina. Mike Garson plays on it. Machina has such a unique production that manages to be fuzzy and clear as day at the same time. The music is extremely dynamic and darkly beautiful.
