TTMF Hall of Fame

1. Radiohead - The Bends (1995)

My first real introduction to Radiohead back in 1995. I don't love it as much as others, but's it's a great album full of quality tunes like Just, Nice Dream, High & Dry, and Planet Telex. Their masterpiece would come next - OK Computer (1997).

Favourite: My Iron Lung

3. Arcade Fire - The Suburbs (2010)

This is an excellent album. However, it is one of my least favourite Arcade Fire releases. Which maybe just shows you how good this band are.

Favourite: The Suburbs

5. Elton John - Blue Moves (1976)

I never listened to this album until last year (2024). I think it is hugely underrated. Home to the classic single Sorry Seems to be The Hardest Word. Like most double albums though, there are tracks you could easily lose.

Favourite: Tonight

2. Bruce Springsteen - The Rising (2002)

I only became a Boss fan in 2023. At the time, I never gave this a listen. Last year (2024), I did! And I'm glad. A brilliant rock album inspired by the events of 911.

Favourite: Waitin' on a Sunny Day

4. Alice in Chains - Alice in Chains (1995)

I never appreciated this album on original release so a real treat to revisit it for the podcast. Is it as good as Dirt? No. Is it a couple of tracks too long? Yes. But, there's quality here in spades, like Grind, Heaven Beside You, and Again.

Favourite: Grind

6. Beck - Odelay (1996)

Some great tunes on here, including Devil's Haircut and The New Pollution. However, the 'throw everything at the wall' approach by producers, The Dust Brothers, means not everything works.

Favourite: Devil's Haircut
