Music Release MILESTONE DATE (or week) Anniversary Thread

[SoundscapeMN]

Yesterday, March 24, 2023 marks the 15th Anniversary release of the debut album from the great math/art/dance-punk prog band Foals.

ANTIDOTES released March 24th, 2008.



It began what has become a rather prolific and consistent-to-some career for Foals.

As a Foals fan, I'm giving it another go (today, per I didn't realize it's 15th anniversary was yesterday, until this morning), and I'm still marvelled how much I enjoy Antidotes and its infectious energy. The flow and groove just works so well, start-to-finish.
My go-to's still are the single "Cassius," "The French Open," and the dance-able "Two Steps, Twice."
But the whole album still remains 15 years later, such a trip.

------------------------------------------

So in this Topic, people should post MILESTONE Anniversaries to Albums, or even EPs and Singles if they choose, if for no other reason for reference. But also others may enjoy listening to said music that has reached a milestone amount of years when it was released.

I guess to avoid every single Anniversary, let's keep this to just 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, and 70 year anniversaries.

And I know, many albums and releases have Multiple dates they show being released. We don't need to nitpick about that. There is also the case where certain versions were released in some countries on 1 date, and another country on another date (with different track lists of course i.e. JAPAN of course).

But just on the surface for the current Year (2023) I guess anything released from the following years:

2022
2018
2013
2008
2003
1998
1993
1988
1983
1978
1973
1968
1963
1958
1953

In a few days, on the 28th, my favorite Led Zeppelin album will celebrate its 50th anniversary - Houses Of The Holy. I've been listening to their catalog lately in celebration of this anniversary!

And as a Rush fan, I guess I have to bring up the following:
2013 - Clockwork Angels Tour
2008 - Snakes & Arrows Live
2003 - Rush In Rio
1998 - Different Stages
1993 - Counterparts
1978 - Hemispheres

Funny enough, all of those were released in either October or November of their respective years (except the audio for S&A Live, though the video was released later that year in November).

And while I'm here, I figured I'd throw these out there before anyone else does:
2013 - Dream Theater, Live At Luna Park
2008 - Chaos In Motion: 2007-2008
2003 - Train Of Thought
1998 - Once In A LIVEtime
1993 - Live At The Marquee

And for one of my other top favorite bands, Big Big Train:
2018 - Merchants Of Light, Swan Hunter EP
2013 - English Electric: Part Two, Make Some Noise EP, English Electric: Full Power

And since they're pretty relevant right now with the release of Fauna, here's Haken:
2018 - Vector, L-1VE, L+1VE
2013 - The Mountain
2008 - Enter The 5th Dimension

This year will be 40 years since Metallica’s first album. I can’t really comprehend that, considering I remember vividly the circumstances of how I came to own a copy.

so the intention of this topic was to reply the day or even within days/or-the-same-week, (or I suppose even the Month, if the Date/Days/Weeks aren't known) of the Anniversary.

That being said, a big one for me and many others I imagine, happened either yesterday or today depending on where you look.

March 28/29, 1988 King's X released their debut album "Out of the Silent Planet."

Great album, filled with catchy, memorable rock songs that really didn't sound much like anything most had heard before.

"King" "Goldilox" "Shot of Love" "What Is This" among those and the best tunes of their career.

Fantastic album, still one of my favorite of theirs. Goldilox is amazing...those vocals and those guitars...

10 years ago today, The Dear Hunter released Migrant. A somewhat polarizing record, but many fans like myself do consider it including some of their best songs like "Whisper" "Shame" and "Bring You Down."

Not my absolute favourite, but still an incredible album! Still need to pick this up on vinyl.

[SoundscapeMN]

It was 20 years ago today...(4/07/03)



What is largely a collection of re-recorded/re-arranged tunes has become a huge fan favorite.

"Am I Wry? No" "156" "Snow Brigade" "She Spider" and "Comforting Sounds" among the highlights.

[SoundscapeMN]

Today marks the 15th Anniversary of Ours fantastic 3rd album "Mercy" aka "Mercy (Dancing for the Death of an Imaginary Enemy)."

Released on April 15th, 2008, Mercy became what was an album that took approximately 6 years to make, after basically all of the songs were played live for many years.

Working with Rick Rubin, this still to this day is considered Ours best sounding album as sonically it is pristine. Rubin actually won a Grammy the following year and Mercy was part of that reason.

[MinistroRaven]

25 years old today!

If you had to pick only one track off of Discouraged Ones, which  would it be?

We have some extra special merchandise, including vinyl available, if Discouraged Ones is missing from your collection.

ah, someone I follow on Instagram I think looked at the wrong date and I didn't bother checking their facts.

It wasn't released on May 12th (or 14th), 1973, but it went to #1 on Billboard this weekend.

Although This Article confirms that, but also the Title is misleading with the wording

"Sunday Marks 50 Years, Since the Release of Zeppelin' "Houses of the Holy"

10 years ago today, Daft Punk released Random Access Memories. A modern classic in a lot of ways.

25 years ago today, May 26, 1998, Jeff Buckley's estate released Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk.

almost 1 year to the day of his death on May 29th, even though it has what are really just demos,  it contains many of my personal favorites tracks like Vancouver, Everybody Here Wants You, New Year's Prayer and Satisfied Mind among others.

Massive Buckley fan here...

While Grace is essential listening for, well, just about anyone, I have probably spent more times with Sketches over the years.

I mean, Grace is an absolutely stellar debut, but it is also a potent document of an artist still searching for a sound.

While Buckley was ultimately dissatisfied with Sketches (he was in the process of starting over at the time of his death), I think the album is beyond incredible (especially the first disc, which is what I consider the proper album).

In fact, if I were to do a ranking, I dare say the majority of my top-10 would be songs from Sketches. "Morning Theft," "Everyone Here Wants You," and "Vancouver" are clear highlights, but I have grown to adore every moment of disc 1.

Hell, despite the 'kitchen sink' approach to the second disc, I still think there's a handful of must-listens there as well.

You know, I struggled with this album for a long time—yes, Buckley's mother oversaw the whole thing, but the idea that Jeff didn't want the world to hear these songs at this stage in the game always sat in the back of my mind like a mental disclaimer. The fact that posthumous releases have only continued to flow over the years hasn't helped the 'cash grab' allegations.

But, at the end of the day, it's either out there, or it simply doesn't exist. Jeff is no longer here to curate his legacy, and as a fan, I'd rather hear the music than let it sit on a shelf somewhere.

And, as an artist, if I got hit by a bus tomorrow, if my wife could make a buck or three off of anything I left half-finished, despite the horror that scenario inspires, I think I'd ultimately be happy my art helped to support my family.

Any which way, this is a fantastic album, and if anyone has read this far (but isn't already a fan), I cannot think of an artist I'd recommend more.
