After about a minute of scrolling up and down, it looks like there wasn’t one record that all three of you agreed upon. Interesting.

Actually Jeff, there was one. Dear Science from TVOTR…

Nice lists guys – cheers for including Blitzen Trapper’s Furr – I think that that fantastic album didn’t get the attention it deserved. Am also loving Mike’s inclusion of Peter Adams, Jessica Lea Mayfield, and King Kahn. Adams particularly was undeservably slept on – though I think that that may change when more people hear “I Woke”
