NME is essential reading for every dedicated young music fan, NME is the respected, informed, authoritative voice of the current music scene.
The NME has an evolving brand, with NME TV, the immense success of NME Online and of course the imminent NME Awards all thriving. The 'New Musical Express' was launched back in the 1950s and has continued to be at the cutting edge of new music to this day. It has always been at the forefront of breaking new artists - bands such as the Sex Pistols and The Smiths were introduced to the world via the pages of NME. This great new album casts an eye over the ‘Classics’.

The NME’s amazing musical heritage sees this album spanning three musical decades - 70s / 80s and 90s and brings together the most inspirational and most influential artists of their time, from defining moment of NME - with punk singles from The Sex Pistols to New Wave in the early 80s & Two Tone, Indie, Brit Pop and Rave.
