I’d forgotten about those side-by-side tape boxes. I think computer games used to come in them as well.

You are clearly forgetting that in those days an ‘anthem’ was simply code for a song The Evening Session played a lot.

Popjustice picked their fave from each album

Some bleak times in the early 00s (Blunt! Keating!) but still quite a list.

I saw the 30 viewable on the link. I was going to say it was ok but then noticed Brother Beyond.

Had a quick browse of this blast night. Mixed bag, but bloody hell, ‘House of Love’ by East 17 is still amazing!

First 14 - My picks: Then Jericho - Big Area (great pop song); Morrissey - Last of the famous; Style Council - Promised Land; Inner City - Good Life; Neneh Cherry - Buffalo Stance; Simple Minds - Belfast Child (I do prefer early Simple Minds but still like this); and Fine Young Cannibals - She drives me crazy (can’t work out what I think of this song…its public property but more thumbs up than down on balance)

Last 21 - My picks: Crowded House - Weather with you; The Cure - High. It did have JAMC on too but I was too young at the time to get it

*I’ve bought my son a fair few recent ones; there is a lot of X (featuring Y) and not much for ageing me to hang my hat on.

Now confession. The appearance of Paranoid Android on a Now record is what got a 15 year old me into Radiohead. Another got me into REM with Kenneth (though I had heard a few songs by them before, was just too young to really go for it). I distinctly remember Kenneth being the song that turned me from pop to rock.
