National "Play Monopoly Day"
Play an album you can somehow tie to the game, for example, maybe one of the pieces is used in the cover art or one of the streets are referenced.

Did I get that from you last year? It was a great introduction, and a great record. Only had time to play a 1LP!Nassau is better
Day 17
National Hiking Day
Play an instrumental album that’s a great soundtrack to a walk through the woods.
This seems to be my go-to album of this duo, even when I have a few others.
Nick Cave & Warren Ellis – West Of Memphis (Original Soundtrack)
J-2 Music – J2002, 2014
#RSD14 - limited to 2000
Cut at Nashville Record Productions
Pressed at United
This dropped off all the streaming or even digital purchasing for a while, but it's back on Spotify for now.

Fugazi - The Argument
When Monopoly was invented it was already about 30 years old, because it's actually a mutation of the Landlord's Game, created by Elizabeth Magie in 1904. She was a follower of economist Henry George, who argued against wealth creation from land ownership (wealth should come from what you do with it, not just owning it, so he argued land speculation should be taxed). The Landlord's Game was designed to be played two ways, one was a cooperative game where nobody monopolizes the land and everybody ends the game better off, and another where monopolizing was rewarded and everyone but one person ends up bankrupt. Monopoly as we know it today is based on the version of the game that she intended as a negative lesson- "see, our economic system is making most people poor!" So, I'm going to blast this Fugazi album (that I really need to get on vinyl one of these days), because the opening track, "Cashout," is a blast of righteous fury about gentrification, landlords, and forced evictions that shares the spirit of the Landlord's Game.

I would probably put Sub Pop, Matador, and Drag City at the top of my list, followed by Merge, Secretly Canadian, Jagjaguar, then Saddle Creek, Polyvinyl, 4AD. Still a top indie label but not my favorite.

That'd be a fun list to make sometime. Saddle Creek artists have been pretty much auto-buy for me for more than 20 years though.

Songs: Ohia-The Magnolia Electric Co.
This was a tough one. Only had CHANCE the Rapper on my mind, until I thought of the Electric Company space.

You can't get to Atlantic City without heading down Atlantic Avenue. A quick google search tells me there is a Atlantic Street in Brownsville Nebraska too, but not sure about an Atlantic Avenue.

The Go "Watcha Doin'" (1999 Sub Pop; 2019 TMR Vault #41)
Collect $200 salary as you pass GO. The album also includes the correspondingly named track "On The Corner". They must have been talking about Monopoly, right?

Discogs tells me this is "indie rock" among other styles - and I haven't listened to it yet, so here it is.
He also can be currently seen/heard, as Jeff - the robot in the new Tom Hanks movie Finch on Apple +

Bruce Springsteen - The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle
@imtheocean beat me to the punch with the boss but since I went with a different album (and property) I figured I would still go this route.
