First of all thank you all for the discussion, the guesses, the laughs you gave me. It was a lot of fun to run this thread and see how hard you struggled to find out my pick. Thank you also for all the wrong but great guesses you shared, you have certainly opened new paths for some us and that’s exactly what I expect from this.
There are two main reasons why I picked this album. The first is that I LOVE this album. It is certainly the album that I listened the most in 2019...

Some of my earliest musical memories as a youngster were delivered via this big body Zenith countertop radio playing in our kitchen every morning...
Fun fact - it still works.
My dad's station of choice - WJRI, 1340 on your AM dial. We got your late 60s local radio usuals - the weather, school updates including what was for lunch that day, local news and sports, the ever-popular Swap Shop and a healthy, regular dose of Creedence Clearwater Revival.
What was officially considered 'punk rock' surfaced years later, but I can tell you listening to this song as a kid, the way it made me feel, the subject matter, and today seeing the visual of Tom frantically sawing his guitar and Doug and Stu, one of the greatest rhythm sections in music history, driving this thing along, it is totally punk rock...
Creedence Clearwater Revival - At The Royal Albert Hall April 14, 1970
Bonus Fantasy records buffoonery.
In 1980 they released Creedence Clearwater Revival - The Royal Albert Hall Concert. Small detail - the tape they used was actually a show recorded in Oakland. Whoopsies. They quickly pulled the record and rebranded it as The Concert. I have an OG before they discovered the err of their ways...

The Who - The Kids are Alright
I have told the story before of how seeing this movie in 1979 set me on a different musical path. After seeing the movie, later that night I was introduced to Who's Next and never looked back. Within a couple of months I had a tape with The Clash's Give 'em Enough Rope and was listening to that non-stop. By the end of 1980 I had London Calling and a couple of Bowie albums.

As this week is focused on revisiting and appreciating the past, I'm going back seven weeks to a post that I couldn't have made any more perfect...
Found out today a close friend suddenly passed. The world is officially worse off than it was before.
Rob was a DJ at my local NPR station. He ran the CMJ program there and hosted a show called ARC Overnight from midnight to 4am. I spent thousands of hours with Rob and his show over the last 15 years or so. In the age of automated radio, Rob was an old-school dinosaur. He'd plan his first set and then go where the vibe took him. He could seamlessly transition any and everything regardless of genre or style. Rob was a master craftsman on the air. He loved music, he loved animals, he had a biting, dry wit and he loved pushing the envelope. The night of Lou Reed's death, he played 4 hours of nothing but Lou and VU. Not exactly allowable under your airplay regulations but Rob knew it was the right thing to do and took the heat.
We saw lots of shows together and shared lots of pints. Thanks for everything, Rob. I'm lucky to have known you and I'll miss you terribly.
Rob's one rule to live by when on the air...

Day 24: Heritage
John Lennon - Imagine
My earliest musical memories as a kid are listening to music my parents liked as we drove around Leduc. For the most part, that music included 90s country, 70s AM pop hits & classic rock, including songs from who I’m assuming is my dad’s favourite Beatle (purely on a musical level). “Imagine” & “Jealous Guy” are the first two Beatles-related songs I remember hearing and the latter remains my favourite John Lennon song.

Thinking about my High School concert buddy Jim today. Saw a number of shows together, but my favorite memory is seeing Oingo Boingo at the Hollywood Palladium around New Years 1985 and sweating in the pit. He's also one of the first people I knew directly to come out as Gay, at a time when it wasn't so tolerated. He passed away from AIDS in the late 80's while he was in college. His bravery at coming out and facing AIDS certainly influenced the way I approached LGBTQ+ issues at the time, and continues to today.

Day 25: Missing You
I had to go digital for today since the CD I have of today’s album is apparently broken & I have zero other ideas for this prompt…
Evanescence - Fallen
For my high school drama classmate Alia, one of the few friends I had in high school. We didn’t talk about music very often but she was a big Evanescence fan (she especially loved “Everybody’s Fool”). I haven’t seen her since she graduated (she was a year older than me), I hope she’s doing well now…
