Alternative Milestones presents:

Alternative Milestones Episode 45 – Tear Down the Wall!

Amongst the milestones we celebrate today is one of the greatest concept albums of all time – Pink Floyd’s The Wall turned 45 this week.

We’ve got the usual birthdays with tracks coming from The Photos, The Runaways, BoDeans and Japan.  Several rarities this week from compilations with milestone anniversaries including Siouxsie and the Banshees, Nirvana and The Cure.  Also an in memoriam track from Mental As Anything.

It’s gonna be a blustery cold wet windy afternoon – better just stay in, grab a warm beverage and enjoy Alternative Milestones!
