WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF FANTASY ALBUMS WHERE MUSIC FANS ARE PUT TO THE TEST TO DECIPHER THEIR ULTIMATE COLLECTION
The rules are simple(ish): they can’t repeat an album, and to just make it that little bit more interesting they have to use the same track number from another album. For example, Track 1 could be the opening track of the incredible Stone Roses’ debut ‘I Wanna Be Adored’. Track 2 could be Blur’s ‘Song 2′ – you get the idea? – basically their fave track 1, 2, 3 etc from 10 different albums.

“I’m not here to play around! The first track from favourite album from The Beatles is one of my favourite songs ever. What a great way to lead out a stellar album.”
“The combination of Zach De La Rocha’s vocal delivery and guns blazing musicianship of band is never bettered. I went to the live gig that RATM did in Finsbury Park after they became UK Christmas #1 with this song. One of my best gigs ever!“
“I used to love this guy! I’ve seen him live twice now. Once he was a wally, on stage so I guess the signs were all there. I’m looking forward to watching the Netflix Documentary on him when I can carve out the time.”
“I’m so glad kids today have the option of seeing amazing non-white female led films where it’s not about finding love. So many ace songs on this soundtrack (I was looking at Moana too) but thsi is a song that me and my son dance around the lounge to at the moment so that takes the Lin-Manuel-Miranda-Disney-film-song-slot.”
“This was the worlds first glimpse of Gorillaz over 20 years ago now and it’s still fresh. The “Demon Days Live” concert did at Manchester Opera House is one of my Top 10 Concerts of all time.”
“My favourite non-single track from Fat of The Land. I was thinking of them as I saw that The Prodigy were touring again and will be the first shows without Keith Flint since he tragically passed away.”
“This was the song that got me into Radiohead. Somehow I missed Creep. Love it! “
“As I write this Questlove’s film “Summer of Soul” has just won a BAFTA. I have to honour the great man some way.”
“I was telling a friend about how a former housemate of mine had a band who supported Yeah Yeah Yeahs. In fact – the original gig line up had Yeah Yeah Yeahs were supposed to be supporting them until their management rang up and asked what the hell was going on and reversed it. This was before their first album came out but still.”
“Yes! A true modern hymn. This song has soundtracked many of my happiest days including my wedding and will always put a smile on my face.”
One of my favourite Fantasy Albums, I would definitely buy this from Our Price or wherever the kids buy their music from these days.
