There's just a magic lost with streaming. Not going out of your way to find an album and listen to it a hundred times until you know all the lyrics by heart. Those albums stick with ya. Like a soundtrack to that era of your life.

I’m so happy that I got into enjoying music as albums instead of songs. Albums are like a window into a time in the artist/bands life. There’s often a clear theme or feeling that hangs over the whole album and Sam Fender gets that so right. Loved every album so far.

Sam being an Adrianne Lenker fan is exactly what I needed in my life

[ruok-lt]

He has the same exact taste as mine. Now I know why I enjoy his music so much

[K.R.O]

The fact he likes the Replacements is incredible. I've been listening to them for 25 years and have never met another Brit whose even heard of them.

[scottinglis]

Great to see the love for The Blue Nile!

[allybooker]

Love this Sam.
Into the great open. What an album. Thanks to my dad for raising me on Tom Petty. I'm raising my kids on Tom Petty AND Sam Fender 🎸🎷🎹 🖤

Sam loving mj is so perfect to me mj is like American Sam fender in my head

[criminousclerk]

Love Sam. His accent takes me home and he's such a good lad. Ages since I've heard anyone say "geet"!

[jackwalsh]

It’s not all bad - Combine the love for music as albums with streaming and you have literally every album ever created at your fingertips and it’s pretty much free. In ways we live in THE BEST ever time for music

Talking heads 77 👏👏 still my favourite album 👏👏

[nealpike]

SAM fender being a replacements fan isn’t a surprise

[reenie]

I would fly to London to get a signed copy. Raising my kids on the vinyl❤❤❤

[tessakaldenbach]

[etherealxox]

I only know of Sam through People Watching (the video because of Andrew Scott being in it but now the song is growing on me and I will at some stage listen to the album in full), but Sam has brilliant taste! I love Talking Heads (that was the first album of theirs I listened to as well! My fave is the The Book I Read) and Tom Waits.
