Day 7: The Smithereens – Especially for You This is the most perfect rock-n-roll album of the 80s and 90s. This is the album that I’ve bought at least a dozen times because I keep giving it away to people. This is an album everyone should listen to. My love for this record is endless, and it’s influence on the way I hear music, particularly baselines, was transformed by this record. I was maybe 10 when I first heard it. I still listen to it end to end several times a year, and I always find something new to love about it.
