It doesn’t take a massive leap of the imagination to grasp that, along with talking about music in a manner that may not be that healthy, I have a bit of a soft spot for music from the 1990s.

Somewhere between returning from summer and being laid out by this year’s flu virus I had the utmost pleasure of reconnecting with Geoff Stephen to do just that – talk about music and, specifically, five ‘essential’ albums from 1994. While I could’ve run down a list from any year of that decade – as my now-stalled ‘albums of my years‘ series will attest – ’94 is a pretty key year for that music I love and so many of those artists that I love dropped some stone-cold classics that year.
