Choose Your Own Adventure - The October 2024 Spin Challenge

Day 1: Expert: Play an acapella song.

A Perfect Circle - eMotive



I've said it before and I'll say it again, this album has grown so much on me over the years after thinking it was a bust when it first came out. In no small part to this song.

I came very close to playing this, despite only having spun it two weeks ago for @Turbo's challenge. And I feel the same way about the album. Originally the only song I really cared for was "Vacant."
 
2-Oct On this day in 1995, Oasis releases the album "(What's the Story?) Morning Glory" and the song "Champagne Supernova" reaches #1 on the Modern Rock chart. Expert: Play an album that came out on Creation Records.

Given I just played this two days ago for last months thread, I feel a little guilty about playing this, but 3.5 points is 3.5 points.

Total: 6.5 Points

Gonna use this prompt as a good opportunity to go ahead and spin Sinéad—quietly, for now, in my sleeplessness; loud later, when I have the house to myself.
