VO5 NME Awards 2018: Listen to a playlist of tracks from every Best Album winner ever

There's a lot of classics on this playlist

With all the history of the NME Awards, you’re bound to be able to make some amazing playlists out of past winners. We’ve done just that with every Best Album winner ever, taking a track from each victorious record and plonking them into a lovely Spotify playlist for you to enjoy in the lead up to the VO5 NME Awards 2018 and beyond.

What can you expect from it? Well, a whole heap of classics, obviously. Everyone from John Lennon to Arctic Monkeys, The Smiths to Blur, and The Jam to Foals have picked up the award since 1971 so you’re left with over three hours of hit after hit. Listen below and thank us later.

When you’re done with that, why not listen to every winner of Best Track ever too?
