19. The Streets – Weak Become Heroes

Mike Skinner at his introspective, poetic best, this anthem to the temple of pills and house music highlighted the Birmingham pseudo rapper’s talent as a songwriter able to connect with his audience. The demise of The Streets always felt inevitable as they were so “of the time” but many people will look back with fierce nostalgia at the catalogue of 5 albums Skinner and co. produced. Weak Become Heroes stands out to me as one of his best.
