Tim Burgess' Final Tracks of My Years

Tim Burgess - lead singer of The Charlatans - chooses his final Tracks of My Years. There's the daily love song, record and album of the week plus PopMaster.

Tim Burgess - lead singer of The Charlatans - chooses his final Tracks of My Years with Ken. Since forming in 1988 the band has notched up thirteen Top 40 studio albums - three of them number ones - alongside twenty-two hit singles, four of them in the Top 10.

In October they announced their delayed 30th Anniversary Tour and released a special album box set entitled A Head Full Of Ideas featuring five albums and an exclusive seven inch single summing up their remarkable progress from 1990 Manchester scene hopefuls to one of the UK's most enduring and best-loved bands. The accompanying tour kicked off last month in Belfast and culminates in Aberdeen on the 20th December.

Despite many setbacks over the years the band have not just carried on but adapted and transformed several times. The classic Charlatans sound - driving Hammond organ, Northern Soul and house-influenced rhythms, swaggering guitars and Tim's distinctive vocal - remains instantly recognisable.

The final two tracks Tim has chosen come from De La Soul and The Supremes. Ken also has the daily love song, record and album of the week plus another round of PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
