My lack of Darkness on The Edge of Town and Nebraska kept me from being able to do any 4 of Springsteen's sweet six from The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle through Born in the U.S.A. And it's going to take a decent bit of time and money yet for me to get my Prince vinyl library anywhere near to the point of my near-complete Prince CD library - I only have 2 albums from his seven-album stunner of a run through most of the 80s. AND I'm missing Secret Treaties to have pulled off Blue Öyster Cult's first four

Super cool prompt @ranbalam! Thanks!
I could do this one too.
 
Day Five - Five Card Draw - Play something with a drawing on the cover or play something related to poker

I couldn't come up with anything that referenced poker, so I just hit the Discogs random button until an album with a drawn cover popped.

Rush – Counterparts
Atlantic – R1 82528, 1993/2015

I've mentioned this and the other Rush reissues before in the "Most Valuable Record" thread....but I still think this is crazy.

Decent hand. But did I mention Kings are wild? FIVE ACES!!

Seriously though...I have played so much poker in my life, and yet have only played twice in the last two years. I'm SO ready for a casual cash game with friends, drinks and music. (and we don't actually play with wilds, for the record)

Plus one of us is cheating (tee hee), but who's counting?

The Clash "London Calling" (1979 CBS; 2013 remaster)
...speaking of cheating, I'm going to go with this today, which includes "The Card Cheat".

I'm going for the other low hanging fruit today 😁 Anyone here remember how f'ing good his chicken was?

I know this is from the wrong episode, but it's still what popped into my head, lol.

Elliott Smith - Either/Or

Fantastic run from s/t, Either/Or, XO and ending with my fave in Figure 8. Still need to pick up the self titled are some point, and wish this Either/Or was a quieter pressing.
