Our Top Ten Albums Turning 20 in 2015!

As we all know from watching Ferris Bueller, time flies and it certainly does when it comes to music! There are soooo many classic albums that people love and which launched such big names into the world that will be celebrating their 20th birthday this year. It's a scary thought we know.

Yep all of these albums are now old enough to drink, drive, gamble and pretty much everything else we were told not to do growing up. To give ourselves and you guys a cheeky blast from the past and help relive the good old days, we thought we would put together a short list of our top ten albums turning 20 in 2015 and here you have them!

You might laugh, you might cry but one thing's for sure, you'll be shocked to think just how old these absolute musical gems and moments in history are! Enjoy!

Oasis - (What's the Story) Morning Glory?

Starting strong in our list of faves! This Oasis classic was just their second studio album and was packed with a list of their iconic ballads. This album was an instant success and went on to sell a record-breaking 347,000 copies in its first week on sale! With such a buzz surrounding the record and hit on there including 'Wonderwall', 'Don't Look Back in Anger', and 'Champagne Supernova', it's no surprise to know it spent a whopping 10 weeks at number one on the UK Albums Chart. What a gem!

Our Top Albums Turning 20 in 2014!

New year is all about looking ahead and thinking what the next year could possibly have in store for us, be it in our personal lives or maybe just what amazing new music, movies and TV shows will change our lives and have us thinking....how did we live before this?!? What did we listen to or watch??

Just for a cheeky change and to add some extra little reminder that you now need to write 2014 and not 2013 on everything (it can take us a wee while) we thought we would take a look back at what we were loving a massive 20 years ago now and perhaps scare ourselves a little at how not long ago that really feels!

Yep this year, if you haven't already realised, all the albums that were released back in 1994 will be turning a milestone 20 years old!! Can you believe it?! It was a truly great time for music with so many bands we still love now first hitting the scene and of course some others we'd much rather forget.

With an almost disbelief and slight feeling of our age now, we thought we would take a quick look back to remind ourselves what was hot back then and what classics have been with us for two decades now (sorry). Enjoy!

Weezer - Weezer (Blue Album)

Their debut studio album which included some songs you might remember such as "Undone - The Sweater Song", "Buddy Holly", and "Say It Ain't So", this amazing album really launched them into big mainstream success but sadly only reach the number 23 spot in the UK charts. For shame!
