Steve continues the final of 'The Silverys' for 1989, his version of The Mercury Prize, in which he picks a year before the prize existed, and asks listeners who should have won.

Steve continues the final of 'The Silverys' for 1989, his version of The Mercury Prize, in which he picks a year before the prize existed, and asks listeners who should have won had the prize been run. Plus another chance to hear Fontaines DC in session, recorded in April this year around the release of their Mercury nominated debut album 'Dogrel'.

Amongst the albums up for consideration for 'The Silverys' from 1989 are Neneh Cherry's 'Buffalo Stance', 808 State's '90', The Stone Roses self-titled debut and New Order's 'Technique'. It's a tough year...

Plus your chance to help soundtrack a current news story in The National Anthem. Mine your record collection to find out what music is randomly selected in Record Collection Roulette. Plus Steve brings the best new music, classic tracks, archive sessions and forgotten treasures.
