    No. 121 - Vespertine by Björk (2001)

This is what Music for a Hotter Future is all about. Stay tuned for the biggest music news segment ever. Plenty of Nicki Minaj news from our Barb correspondent.

  6. No. 118 - The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd (1973)

    JAN 13

    No. 118 - The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd (1973)

    This is it, folks. The fifth best-selling album of all time. Possibly the most iconic album cover of all time, and the quintessential psychedelic and prog rock album. This album made Pink Floyd the biggest band in the world, similar to how Nevermind catapulted Nirvana from obscurity to super stardom. Song of the Week: California Saga (California) by The Beach Boys LEAVE A COMMENT IF YOU'VE BEEN DIGGING AWAY!
