Rock n’roll legend and BBC 6 Music DJ Iggy Pop has made Sleaford Mods 2015 release ‘Key Markets’ his Album Of The Year at BBC 6 Music.

Iggy said: “‘There’s never a clunker with these guys. Every groove and every vocal just has a sound that I really enjoy. It’s good tight song writing. I like their energy, I like someone who keeps it real, and their people are charged up about them. That’s what it’s all about”.

It doesn’t get much cooler than that does it really? Check out the show here
