Episode 35: 25 Albums Turning 25 in 2020-The Best Albums of 1995

Smells Like Infinite Sadness

Following last year's podcast episode celebrating the best albums from 1994, co-host Chris Logan and I dive in to the best 25 albums from 25 years ago, in this case the year 1995. '95 was another great year for alternative rock in all its disparate forms, and it was a particularly eclectic one as well, from anthemic rock from The Smashing Pumpkins, Faith No More, Radiohead, Oasis and Filter, to the emergence of stoner rock with Monster Magnet and Kyuss, and different variants of shoegaze (Slowdive, Garbage, Hum).

It was also a year that showed an increased interest in electronic music, from ambient (Aphex Twin), techno (Moby, The Chemical Brothers), trip-hop (Tricky) and jungle (Goldie), to singular heavyweights like Bowie and Bjork, who dabbled in all of the above.

So take a trip down memory lane and tell us your favorites from 1995 via message or comment.
