An album is a collection of songs. It became the dominant form of recording from the 1960s onwards. They have often had striking artwork and designs, making them instantly recognisable.

Our Year Ten curators have chosen a set of iconic British albums from the 1960s to 1990s which capture each decade. 

 Nowadays, it is easy to skip songs and create playlists on platforms such as Spotify, which might mean listeners are less likely to play an album from start to finish. This might in turn affect the way artists compose their albums. 

Below is a list of the albums they have chosen:

OK Computer - Radiohead

Almost Here - Unbelievable Truth
