Let’s Go Crazy has got through to the semi-final on Steve Lamaq’s BBC 6 Music radio show. It’s up against Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit. Thought you all might like to vote.

67 Albums!!! Have I missed any?

lots of great ones to chose from but I'll go with

1. ATWIAD - Let's us know right away that this isn't a Purple Rain sequel.

2. When Lay My Hands on You - Great song which leads off one of his most under-rated albums IMO.

The winner of this was the Stone Roses? Seriously? How the heck was Welcome To The Jungle not in the finale? Or Whole Lotta Love?
