2 weeks ago | albumism.com | Matthew Hocter

Happy 40th Anniversary to Eurythmics’ fourth studio album Be Yourself Tonight, originally released April 29, 1985. My childhood was filled with a very healthy overload of music and I was one of those incredibly lucky kids that saw the latter half of the ‘70s come to a close, lived through the entirety of the ‘80s, was a teenager as I entered the ‘90s and a fully blown young man as I entered the new millennium.

[As an Amazon affiliate partner, Albumism earns commissions from qualifying purchases.] Happy 35th Anniversary to X Clan’s debut album To The East, Blackwards, originally released April 24, 1990.

X Clan didn’t shy away from being controversial.

1 month ago | albumism.com | Jesse Ducker

[As an Amazon affiliate partner, Albumism earns commissions from qualifying purchases.] Happy 25th Anniversary to Tony Touch’s debut studio album The Piece Maker, originally released April 18, 2000. During the mid-1990s, there were few things more “hip-hop” than the mixtape. Beyond what the term “mixtape” has come to mean during the last 20 or so years, the mixtapes of the ’90s were central to the promotion of hip-hop music during its golden era.
