    Day 16: "Shakedown" play the most unrepresentative record from a well-known artist "Ride On" - AC/DC There's an alternate universe in which AC/DC is a soulful blues-rock band, and in that alternate universe I'd probably still own a dozen of their records.

    Day 11: 1974 play a record you love that others seem to dislike Soul Asylum - Let Your Dim Light Shine I am somewhat notorious for falling in love with a band through their "sell-out" record, where they seem to shed what made them cool in the first place and lean into the more commercial side...

    The football thread RenegadeMonster is looking for: NFL talk

    Lifelong Seahawk fan here. For a decade Russ infused hope and electricity into our team, something which--with all due respect to Matt Hasselbeck, Jon Kitna, and Dave Kreig--I never really felt as a fan all those years.
