Ep 20 - Album Club - Modern Classics

We usually pick a (relatively) new album release to focus on but
this month we changed things up. The start of the year is a funny
time for album releases and 2022 was no different. We decided
that rather than spend a month and a podcast talking about
something that we weren't too passionate about, we'd take a
different path.  This month is the first TINH 'Album
Club'.
 
The format for this podcast is simple. The four of us all
(randomly) chose  someone from the Team-TINH to pick an
album for. The album should be from the past 10 (ish) years and
should represent something special that the recipient might have
missed. A modern classic perhaps.

This episode was loads of fun to make. There's loads of
agreement, a little bit of niggle, a fair chunk of nerdery ...
something for everyone. The following are the albums that we
discussed, who chose them, who they were chosen for and some
links that take you to some of the things that popped up in the
discussion.
