WESU 88.1 FM
Nominated by
Rob of Chocolate Cake, DJ Lukey G of The Guest List, DJ Deni of Lovin’ the 70’s, Francesco Fiumara of Caffè Italia, and
DJ MTSPEN of Storytime/Motivation Nation.
Rob says:
A double album bubbling over with so many ideas that he had to include a bonus EP. Stevie is at the tail end of a killer winning streak here (having just released Talking Book, Inervisions and Fullfillngness First Finale). He is at the peak of his song craft here.
Francesco Fiumara says:
Though many Stevie albums could be on here, this stands apart as my favorite.
Rob says:
Brian Eno said this band only had 200 fans, but each one started a rock ‘n’ roll band. Alternative rock starts here.

Nominated by
DJ MTSPEN of Storytime/Motivation Nation
Sir Jon says:
A top ten-favourite, “Cousin” Van is hard to pin down with albums. Moondance typically tops them all for having a personal fav, “Caravan”, in the track list.

52. The Beatles – Magical Mystery Tour [1967]
Nominated by
DJ McKenzie of Splitting Hairs & The Beatles: A Week in the Life.
In their new songs, the Beatles continued the studio experimentation that had typified Sgt. Pepper and the psychedelic sound they had introduced in 1966 with Revolver. Author Mark Hertsgaard highlights “I Am the Walrus” as the fulfilment of the band’s “guiding principle” during the sessions – namely to experiment and be “different”. To satisfy Lennon’s request that his voice should sound like “it came from the moon”, the engineers gave him a low-quality microphone to sing into and saturated the signal from the preamp microphone.
