FEATURE:
The Digital Mixtape
Songs from Albums Turning Thirty in 2026
__________
WE are now…
in 1996 for this run of features where I collate albums celebrating big anniversaries next year. Those greats that turn thirty. 1996 was a tremendous year, so there are going to be a lot of wonderful albums in the mix. This was a year when I was at high school, so I would have heard or bought a lot of the albums. It is one of the best years of the 1990s for music. Thirty years alter and these albums stand up and still sound remarkable. Genius albums from Fugees, Manic Street Preachers, DJ Shadow and Fiona Apple in the pack. Even if you were not around or old enough in 1996 to remember these albums, you will know most of them. I hope that you enjoy this mixtape that collates the very best…
OF 1996.
