“2nd Thought” by Orchestral Manouvres in the Dark
Submitted by Ed
Off their 2nd album, Organisation (1980). There’s an atmosphere to this track that always struck me and stood out.

“Hide and Seek” by Imogen Heap
Submitted by Dave
This track was unique and creative at it’s release. It still holds up for me. Love it.

“Trouble in Mind” by Muddy Waters
Submitted by Bill
An unusually lush production for Mr. Morganfield, brass and all, and he sings in a more soul-music style than the Chicago blues he’s known for.

“Sertraline” by The Lottery Winners
Submitted by Alan
I love this band’s vibe–lots of fun, quirky, upbeat poppy sounds. Sertraline is the generic form of Zoloft, a popular antidepressant and this song is an ode or sorts to the singer’s relationship with it. There is a little anthem quality to the song which I like. And some catchy turns of phrase– “My head is full of languages I cannot comprehend.” Check them out–they have a lot of great tunes.

“Normal Like You” by everclear
Submitted by Ian
Everclear. This album is most likely in my top 10 most played albums. Every song is excellent and I never get tired of it.
Might be a neat side hustle, name one album that you can listen to over and over again and never get tired of. We can then track down and listen on our own. Every song on the album is excellent (You dont skip any)
