One more... Can't believe I forgot it really. If you've never listened to this record then make today the day you do. Then go have a lie-down.

Fleetwood Mac Rumours. (Good songs elsewhere but no real album comes close.)

And the Sundays self titled album.

Before country soul singer James Otto was ever in my life, my most favorite singer before him was a guy named Shane Minor who is now a country song writer, but back in 1999, his only album which was self named got released and to me it couldn't have been better. 😄 😄 😄

God bless you and Shane and James always!!! 😄 😄 😄

Third Eye Blind's self-titled debut. Nothing they ever did afterward comes even close.

The Monks- Black Monk Time

One of the most influential records ever, considering how influential it was on Krautrock

This is the first record that comes to mind, though you do have to discount the instrumental and remix versions:

I remember my uncle buying me a Goo Supersoaker for my birthday when I was young. I had knowledge he was getting it before hand and when he was coming into the garden where the party was being held I ran to him. Eagerly I looked into the bag to find it but there was something else. I can 100% remember it was this album as the cover was ingrained into my mind. A bit confused I was at the sight of it but then I thought "Perhaps it is my first CD because I am grown up now?". Before I could ask he was like "Oh" and took it out for himself. Must have got it in Birmingham.

What's the album like?

These two songs are are on the album, and highlight the British Invasion era harmonies singing from the 90's emotional landscape.

One can dream, but I don't know how likely we are to ever see a follow up to their debut. 😐

Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too by The New Radicals.

Went platinum, produced You Get What You Give, but people forget how good the album was. Been too long since I listened to it, really, but it was pretty great.

It's A Girl by Sweet Baby. Not a GREAT album, but really influenced punk music, especially the Gilman scene. Don't believe me, go look it up on Wikipedia and read the story about them and Green Day.

Also on a much more obscure note, Betolzkahitoparat by Ringo Ska. Just ska versions of beatles songs, but truly wonderfully, and I wish the band would've done the same for other bands works.
