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.

There is a particular kind of greatness that belongs only to things that almost didn't exist. SMiLE, Brian Wilson's long-lost, mythologised, finally-completed masterpiece, is the supreme example of this. Released in 2004 — 37 years after it was abandoned — it is not merely a great album, it is proof that genius, even when shattered, can reassemble itself. That music, even when buried, retains its power. That some things are worth waiting for, even if the wait spans the better part of a lifetime.
