Classic Albums. Hosted by Stevie Nix
Not all albums stand the test of time, but plenty do and Australian music critic Stevie Nix will bring one to you each week. He'll cover all eras and most genres and tell you why each record is so revered and, equally, why it deserves to be. And he only uses six songs to do it.

Sign O' The Times by Prince
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Sign O' The Times is an album that shouldn’t work — too many styles, too many moods, too many voices — yet somehow it becomes the clearest portrait of Prince at his most open, restless and unfiltered. It is a record that reflects the late 1980s with startling clarity. Its world is messy: social decay on the doorstep, relationships fraying, pleasure complicated by fear, and faith competing with doubt. Yet it pulses with life, humour and possibility. It’s an album that acknowledges how fragile things feel — and chooses to dance anyway.
