Fleetwood Mac – Rumours

The Clash "London Calling" (1979 CBS; 2013 reissue)
When we did the N&G all-time top albums group list, this was the #1 album on the list I submitted. It's a pretty good choice.

Cage the Elephant - Thank You, Happy Birthday

This was the first CD I bought for myself (the first one I owned was Reba’s #1s), I remember being so hyped for the albums release that I had my dad drive my to Best Buy in the snow so I could buy it day 1! Before I leave for Into vinyl I had a pretty nice CD collection but I sold the majority of them a couple years ago because they were just collecting dust, but there was no way I was going to let this one go

Obviously, I didn't properly process clue #2 - early onset dementia is a blast. And while a Scottish brogue can sound quite indecipherable, it's still english.

Here's one to make me right...

Day 21
O Brother Where Art Thou
One of 3 Movie Soundtracks to win AOTU (Including the other album for today!) play a movie Soundtrack

Various Artist "Postales Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" (2018 Colemine Records)
Listed as various artist but in reality this soundtrack is a Budos Band side project. Great mix of funky instrumentals with a few latin-flavored and spaghetti western-inspired tracks.
