This year, an array of influential albums mark landmark milestones, from Massive Attack's Mezzanine, which turned 20 on April 20, to My Bloody Valentine's debut album, Isn't Anything, which is an astonishing 30 years old on November 21. (Plus, MBV is touring North America this summer for the first time in five years.)

So on tonight's UKNY at 11, an entire show dedicated to remarkable albums that are celebrating their 20th, 25th or 30th anniversaries in 2018 from artists like New Order, PJ Harvey, Cocteau Twins and Blur (Damon Albarn was one of our FUV Essentials last week too.)
