The 1971 album Surf’s Up by The Beach Boys contains arguably the band’s masterpiece. Originally written for the Smile album, the title track is majestic. The LP has been described as ‘baroque psychedelia.’ I can’t speak highly enough of Surf’s Up. Your views? |

The Judas Priest double-album Nostradamus in 10 years old today! The LP was the heavy metal band’s first concept album centering on the 16th-century writer. Despite mixed reviews, and a departure from fan favourites, I enjoyed Nostradamus. How do you feel about the LP? |
