The second and final Joy Division album Closer celebrates a 40th anniversary today! Released two months after the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis, the LP seen as a masterpiece and a crowning glory of the post-punk genre. Dark and atmospheric. Classic LP. |

The 4th album by The Doors The Soft Parade is 50 years old today! The change to ‘pop’ found new listeners for the band, but lost many of the existing audience. The fuller sound, horns and strings, lost the edge of the previous 3 LPs. Never really been a fan…you? thedoors.com |

The 2nd Grateful Dead album Anthem of the Sun is 50 years old today! The 5-track LP is a spliced mix of live and studio cuts, which Rolling Stone described at the time as “one of the finest albums to come out of San Francisco.” High praise. Are you a deadhead? dead.net |

Minneapolis trio Hüsker Dü 3rd album New Day Rising. Catchier melodies than previous albums, sparse production and more commercial punk rock. Solid album! |
