Fried ice cream is a reality and that's all you need to know.
Prince | 1999 (1982)
If only the world could still party like it was 1999. It's scarier now, but Prince is still doing his part.
Tim Buckley | Greetings From L.A. (1972)
It's a bluesy, wailing, pleading album... in a good way.
Tom Waits | Swordfishtrombones (1983)
I didn't like it on the first listen; became interested on second; enjoyed it the third.
Os Mutantes | Os Mutantes (1968)
Sgt Pepper, The Wall, Monkees, and god knows what else all mixed up and in Portuguese. Very Cool.
Pet Shop Boys | Very (1993)
Though I didn't know this particular album, the Pet Shop Boys' sound takes me back to young adulthood.
The The | Infected (1986)
Released in '86, but listening to the lyrics, it's clear that punk is current again.
Animal Collective | Merriweather Post Pavilion (2009)
This was new for me: Defies definition but playlist worthy.
Bruce Springsteen | Nebraska (1982)
The Boss channels Dylan with just a guitar and a harmonica.
Simon & Garfunkel | Bookends (1968)
One can't help but sing along.
