They can't do that. I feel weird if I play that album at home or in the car and I don't check in with a friend first.
I'm still doing a GoFundMe to help my parents rebuild after a devastating house fire. The costs of doing so, with an uninsured house, are extremely high. My parents are elderly and low-income and my disabled brother lives with them. I deeply appreciate shares of this link!

I'm sure I gave a different answer last time we did this but going with 1965 this time (also aside from Unplugged, not sure PJ, Nirvana, etc are in my Top 10)
Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, pearl jam, soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.
Almost posted Anodyne in response to the original post -- totally forgot about Mighty Joe Moon!
