Previous Albums Of The Day
![]() The 4th album by English rock band Traffic, John Barleycorn Must Die, celebrates a 50th anniversary today! In late 1968 Traffic split, but soon were reborn. JBMD became the band’s first Gold album, and showed more structure to their jazz-rock style. |
![]() The 1999 debut Macy Gray album On How Life Is was released 20 years ago today! Gray’s unique vocals catapulted the single I Try to international success. The album was huge, her creative peak. Q magazine said of Gray’s voice “as if Rod Stewart were a girl.” |
![]() The Vangelis soundtrack to the 1982 Ridley Scott movie Blade Runner took about a decade to be released, but was definitely worth the wait. The score is seen as an important piece of work in the history of electronic music. I remember hearing a bootleg long before the official release! |
![]() The debut Limp Bizkit Three Dollar Bill, Y’all is 20 years old today. Fred Durst power rap-rock. Forgot about the George Michael cover of Faith! |
