Day 16: Nominated for the 5 artists with personal relevance thing by @epouvantail so this week every record will be somehow significant.

Oasis - (Whats the Story)Morning Glory? [1995]

First album (on tape) I bought with my own money. Still epic. https://open.spotify.com/album/6ozp33PI3p9AdddB6ZL3xQ?si=a8EN4F7ZRzyBhcV0_96IPw

Day 17: I used to watch 120 Minutes on MTV2 when I was going through phases when I couldn't sleep. Svefn-g-englar came on & awestruck. Have escaped with this record many times over the years & it's still full of wonder.

Sigur Ros - Ágætis byrjun [1999] https://open.spotify.com/album/1DMMv1Kmoli3Y9fVEZDUVC?si=7fPeldrqQjKSD1EvJQmP6A

@maximopark - A Certain Trigger [2005] https://open.spotify.com/album/5AMY7GZtT4hz0h4O7OBUz4?si=x12NIhr_QaqNobqvUBOz6g

Day 20: It's a cliche, but as a teenager my listening was dominated by guitars until I stumbled across this EP. Discovering the joy distorted bleeps & drum machines can bring was life changing.

@AphexTwin - Come to Daddy [1997] https://open.spotify.com/album/0ofaIVDxemaYYQipgWRYKp?si=RgP1Hp6-SMy17UsntFLFXw

Day 21: Listening to this a lot over the weekend - a glorious film, a brilliant listen - a timeless classic.
