Happy 20th birthday to perhaps Kylie's best album! :wub: :cheer:

ARGH. I feel so old!

Happy 20th birthday to perhaps Kylie's best album! :wub: :cheer:

There is no perhaps, its the best album in her great collection.

Happy 20th Birthday Light Years.

Hapoy 20th light years which remained s my fave kylie album.

Not my favourite Kylie album but it’s a pop masterpiece and includes some absolute classics :wub:

 

Still remember rushing to Virgin Records to buy this!

Love this album so much, my fave Kylie album (with Golden a close 2nd)

 

Disco Down was robbed - it should have been the Xmas release over the summery Please Stay

Disco down is a big highlight in a great album, I can honestly say I never tire of light years.

Light Years is a real true essence of how great Kylie is.

20 years since Kylie performed at Sydney Olympics Closing Ceremony! Here's Kylie performing ABBA's 'Dancing Queen':

 

loved seeing kylie do this, global stage that all added to her huge comeback, i think on a night like this returned to number 1 in Oz on the back of her performance.

It was a huge stage and global audience for Kylie and it cemented Kylie was back and bigger than ever.

I remember that whole era so fondly all those who wrote her off were prob like how has she turned this around so much.

An album I actually know very well to go alongside a lot of albums I have peeped for the first time, so it'll be interesting to compare.

This album has some of my favourite Kylie songs in terms of singles (On A Night Like This) and album tracks (Butterfly). It is such a breath of fresh air in terms of how uplifting the production is and how sweet her vocals are, especially after the previous few albums that were more experimental and daring. Simplistic pop, but done brilliantly. A few dud tracks along the way, but on the whole it's a fun listen.

 

Album ranking

01. Kylie Minogue

I've really fallen so madly in love with 'Under The Influence' over the last few months. :wub:

 

The most perfect mood-lifter.

It's a complete feel good mood lifter as are many of the songs on this great album.

Light Years delivers so many feel good anthems and is a golden era in Kylie's discography.

I’ve tried to download this album so many times how off Apple Music and I’m having a real issue with “I’m So High” like it just won’t download :arrr:

An album I actually know very well to go alongside a lot of albums I have peeped for the first time, so it'll be interesting to compare.

Interesting rank - don't tend to see 'Please Stay' and 'So Now Goodbye' that high or 'Light Years' that low! 'Please Stay' is pretty underrated though. I love the Latin influence; it really adds to the romantic mood and Kylie's vocal is so warm and inviting. I think it was a great single choice for the Christmas market.

 

Totally agree with your synopsis of this album. Kylie's talked about how she had key words in mind ahead of going into this album - "poolside", "disco", "cocktails" - and that sort of imagery definitely comes to mind when listening. This is definitely the album that started my love of pop.

Seems like a demo for 'Under the Influence of Love' has just surfaced:

 

 

The final version remains unbothered.
