I got to see these guys. They opened for Guns N Roses on their Not in This Lifetime tour in 2017. They were stellar but I wish I could have seen them at a bit smaller of a venue.

I've been lucky enough to see The Cult 8 times since 1986 and all but a couple shows were in small to medium sized rooms. That's definitely the best environment for them.

Oddly enough, one show in 1987 was at The State Theatre in Detroit with GnR as the opener. Funny how things change...

That’s a nice mix. Maybe a bit front loaded with the hits but they touch on a little bit of everything.
 
Day 14 - G.O.A.T.
Play something from someone considered one of the G.O.A.T.s in their field to celebrate Jay-Z’s birthday (it’s off by 10 days, I’m reaching here!)

Looks like @SpintheBlackcircle and I were having the same idea.

I was going to play a different 2 album comp, but this one was close by, and I like it a little better than either of those.

Jimi Hendrix – The Cry Of Love
Reprise Records – MS 2034, 1971

White Label Promo

Surprised I didn't see any Bowie for this prompt. Apologies if I missed someone's post.
I'm still digging through the new box.
Pressings are great so far.

David Bowie - The Buddha of Suburbia

Day 15 - Africa
Play something from the hottest continent

One of those "I didn't order this record" from VMP. Not a bad free record to get.

Day 16 - 80s
Play something from the 80s

I have a lot from the 80's, so I just went with the first randomly picked album Discogs chose for me. I haven't listened to this one in a while.

Suicidal Tendencies – Suicidal Tendencies
Frontier Records – FLP 1011, 1983
