Does anyone have an album that they feel is like an old friend, one that you just can put on and the world seems better.
The reason I ask is because in work today I put OK Computer into my discman and with the very first note I smiled, I literally went "ahh" and thought "all is well with the world". God I love that album. I want to marry it and have its babies.

nirvana unplugged in new york definitely makes everything else just kind of fall away. those early loves are always the hardest ones to let go of. (not to say that i want to let go)

Yeah, Ok Computer is that record you can put on and think: 'Hello, you are back? Come in!' Or so.
As for my "friend" records... all NIN records Tool - LateralUS Damo and Gemma Hayes. [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img] |

Oasis - Definately Maybe and radiohead The Bends. There s always a certain comfort to be found in familiarity... Alanis Morrissette - jagged little pill - that takes me back Louise!!
