NME 55 Incredible Albums Celebrating Huge Anniversaries in 2014


British media NME made a photo-list of 55 albums that will celebrate "huge" anniversaries (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 years) in 2014. This can be looked at in three different ways: 1. As a crystal ball for future deluxe reprints of albums. 2. As a crystal ball for future deluxe festival reunions going along with deluxe reprint of albums. 3. As a basis for a good and eclectic Spotify playlist for winter afternoons, filled with really incredible albums ranging from oldies (The Times They Are A-Changing, England's Newest Hit Makers, Kick Out the Jams, Led Zeppelin I) to big rock classics from the 1979/1984 era (London Calling, The Wall, Unknown Pleasures, The Unforgettable Fire, Ride the Lightning), from modern britpop masterpieces (The Stone Roses, Parklife, Definitely Maybe) to American great alternative albums of the 1990s (Grace, Dookie, The Downward Spiral, The Soft Bulletin), from millennial hip hop (The Slim Shady LP, The College Dropout) to Britney (... Baby One More Time).

Enjoy.
