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.

Brian Wilson Presents Smile by Brian Wilson
Back in 1966, Wilson set out to create what he called a "teenage symphony to God." Fresh off the artistic triumph of Pet Sounds and the revolutionary single Good Vibrations, Wilson collaborated with lyricist Van Dyke Parks to craft an ambitious song cycle about American history, spirituality, and the elements themselves. Smile became known as rock's most famous "lost" album before Wilson finally completed it decades later.
Featured songs:
Our Prayer/Gee
Heroes And Villains
