The 2nd studio album from Bat For Lashes, Two Suns, is 10 years old today! Shortlisted for the Mercury Prize, was described by Spin magazine as “this art-rock Joan of Arc gushes duality motifs that thwart narrative but overflow with moonstruck sensuality.” Dark and beautiful. |

Guns N’ Roses debut album Appetite for Destruction, released July 1987 put the Rrr back into Rock. Axl Rose’s lyrics told tales of sex, drugs, rock & roll with side helping of booze. The album is a masterpiece, with highlights being the anthems Sweet Child O’ Mine, Welcome to the Jungle and Paradise City. |
