This week we break from our normal random selection from the Rolling Stone 500 best album list to pick up and have a listen to a favourite from one of our hosting team. It might be from the list, it might not - but it's definitely an album that we think is worth talking about.
For the first special episode in an occasional series we have the selection of Apollo Audio studio owner and splendid guitarist / singer Billy Hills.
White Pony is the third studio album by American alternative metal band Deftones, released on June 20, 2000, through Maverick Records. It was produced by Terry Date, who produced the band's first two albums, Adrenaline (1995) and Around the Fur (1997). It marked a significant growth in the band's sound and is considered a turning point in their history in terms of experimentation, incorporating influences from post-hardcore, trip hop, shoegaze, progressive rock, and post-rock into the alternative metal sound for which they had become known.
White Pony is Deftones' highest-selling album to date, and it became their first platinum record certified by the RIAA on July 17, 2002
Don't forget to let us know your nominations for the best album of all time - be prepared to defend your choice, we may be asking questions! Or drop us an email at apolloaudiopod@gmail.com
