Here are my album picks:

The Breeders - Last Splash Vinyl LP


Pod is the bands 1990 debut and is continually ranked as one of the best albums of the 90s. Recorded by Steve Albini in 10 days, it was released to critical acclaim and Kurt Cobain called it one of his favorite albums of all time. In 1993, they released their breakout album Last Splash, which brought the band into the forefront with the runaway hit “Cannonball”. The song made it to #2 on the charts, and was followed by a tour supporting Nirvana, a spot on the Lollapalooza tour and in 1994, a platinum certification.

J. Geils Band - Freeze-Frame


The J. Geils Band's Freeze-Frame album was released in 1981 by EMI Records, not Warner Records, and featured the hit singles "Centerfold" and the title track "Freeze-Frame". The album was a huge success, reaching number one on the Billboard 200 chart.
