Best psychedelic rock alternative rock album of the year
Best USA album of the year
"My big brother held on to my hands
Then he made me slap my own face
I looked up to him then, and still do
He was trying to teach me something
Now I know what it was!
Now I know what he meant!
Now I know how it is!"
A favourite at the time that I never really stopped listening to throughout the 90's. Another shared favourite of my wife and I. I love listening to her singalong to every word of Of Course. When the song you like the least on an album is of the quality of Been Caught Stealing, you know it's an amazing album.
10/10 songs: Classic Girl, Of Course, Stop, Three Days. [First added to this chart: 07/23/2017]
