Of course, I couldn't make it through the day without playing my favourite album by that band (or anyone else, for that matter).

Pink Floyd released 'The Endless River' #OnThisDay in 2014.
The band's final album, it largely comprises instrumental and ambient work from The Division Bell sessions two decades earlier.
One for the purists and hardcore fans, it is also a fitting conclusion to the band's story.

From avant-garde jazz to top tier psychedelic rock.
The record cover is the only sunshine in these parts this morning, but the look in David Crosby's eyes says it all.
'If I Could Only Remember My Name' is one of those records which swallows you up for its duration.

Patti Smith's 'Horses' was released #OnThisDay in 1975.
The seminal album combined the emerging rawness of the punk scene with avant-garde experimentations, making for one of the bravest and most unique debuts of the decade.
Perhaps that's best exemplifies on the sprawling 'Birdland'.

Kicking off the record playing week with this absolute beauty.
Karma is the jazz record which most feels like a religious experience - opening my eyes, ears and minds to the wonder that is Pharoah Sanders.
I'll be diving so much deeper next year, but for now, this is on repeat.

It's not a turnaround on the scale of Dark Side Of The Moon, but I do believe my ears needed cleaning when I didn't enjoy Blood On The Tracks on first listen.
It's definitely the most consistent Bob Dylan record I've heard, and that base level is much higher than I realised.

🎶 Mansun's Only Love Song
🗓️ February 1997
One of the most audacious and ambitious debut albums of the decade could have had pretty much any song up for the accolade here.
But their only love song is also one of their best, and gets the nod today.

🎶 Shore Leave
The first of four from the album that changed everything.
From beatnik storyteller to master of the weird, wonderful and everything in between.
And this song perfectly sums that up, with that sinister ending.

December is for the great Christmas movies - the classics, the modern favourites, childhood nostalgia et al.
But November, that's for the guilty pleasure that is Hallmark Christmas movies (and other similar networks).
Here's what we've watched, so you don't have to...

Many bands suffered at the hands of the toxic music press in the 90s.
Few were able to make such an impressive comeback two decades later as Slowdive.
Their eponymous 2017 record is revenge served red hot.

Ridiculous it took me this long to read Stuart's autobiography - it's every bit as brilliant as Mogwai's music.
No holds barred, and an absolute treasure trove of youthful music memories - a must read for any music fan.

Safe to say, the rest of the house was not happy with the noise from 4 minutes onwards...

Wire could never live up to the critical adoration of their original, post-punk triad of records.
And 1988s 'A Bell Is A Cup Until It Is Struck' is far from Pink Flag, Chairs Missing and 154 in terms of style.
But as a new wavish, alternative electronic record, it's top dollar.

🗓️ August 1994
One of the most stellar debut albums of the 90s, and still almost entirely unique, even in Portishead's own limited yet incredible discography.
So many highlights too, but Roads will always be my favourite. Words can never do it justice.

It took a long time for any other record of theirs to stick, but 'The Sprawl' made this one an instant favourite.
