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.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Blackstar is simultaneously a personal farewell, a philosophical exploration, and a radical musical statement. Each track contains multiple layers of musical and conceptual meaning, rewarding repeated listening and deep analytical engagement. Released two days before his death, Bowie confronts mortality not as a source of fear, but as a fundamental human experience to be examined, challenged, and potentially transformed. He suggests that death is not an endpoint, but a form of metamorphosis.
