the Masterpiece, the Progeny & the Inspiration

I've been loving Zane Lowe's Masterpiece series all week.
It finishes tonight with a real highlight.

Maybe it's because I'm working class
Maybe it's because it reminds me of a special time in my life.
Maybe it's just because every track is brilliant.
Whatever, it's definitely an album that touches me like no other.

So here it is, alongside an album that inspired it, and one that drew inspiration from it.

3 classics, 1 blip.
