| Fleetwood Mac Rumours. This is my choice for the best album ever written. Flawless. Every lyric, note, and beat on the album is fucking flawless. It is anger, heartbreak, and celebration of the life and death of relationships. Each song accusing and arguing an accusation and accepting the outcome of the demise.
And listening to it always puts me in some kind of trance. It just pulls me back to my childhood. One of my first memories. In my parent's first house. Standing on the hardwood floors in osh kosh overalls, buster browns with my blankie and favorite stuffed pooch, Snoopy, staring at the album cover. I was so drawn to the album. My dad had an amazing album collection. This was the one I picked out and was fascinated with. Actually, it was my mom's record. I would get my mom to play it. I remember my mom would dance around and sang You Make Loving Fun to me. I must have been three years old at the most. I didn't even grasp the meaning behind the album until much later. But, already, it had a huge impact on me. Everytime I think of my childhood, it is the soundtrack. That, and the Rolling Stones Emotional Rescue. Hearing the song can just pull me back to a certain time and place. It reminds me of the great times I had in my childhood. And the rockiness of my parent's marriage. I can still hear the pop and scratch of my dad's record player needle listening to the cd now.
