Day 4
Bomb

This album peaked at 27 in the UK. Did not have a number one single and received a two star review from Rolling Stone (which was still very relevant in 1988). Even Page says “It didn’t do very well.”

Jimmy Page - Outrider

Day 4 - Bombers
Seemed a good idea / To drop a bomb on the wasteland here
Play a record that is considered a bomb but that you love

I don't care what anyone says, I love this record.

Courtney Barnett - Things Take Time, Take Time.


There are 10 versions of this record available, 9 of which are in various shades of blue. And being Courtney Barnett the songs can be a bit sad too!

The Smashing Pumpkins - Machina/The Machines Of God



“It was like watching your kid flunking out of school after getting straight A's for ten years.”
- Jimmy Chamberlin, regarding the disappointing sales of Machina

I absolutely loved this album when it came out and it blew my mind that no one else seemed to care much about it.

Day 6 - Candidate

Clark Terry's BIG B-A-D BAND - Mumbles
I've loved this record forever, especially his inspired song "Mumbles". Jazz fans may be familiar with a version of this tune from Oscar Peterson's well-known album "+ ONE CLARK TERRY".



Also, I assume many people will be providing actual means of hearing their tunes; as such:

Glad to see a lot of people have been able to catch up. I tried to make as many of the challenges as open as possible to give people to dig deep into their collections.
