Placebo 'Meds'. My daughter and I loved the line 'Let's follow the cops back home
and rob their houses'

Death Cab for Cutie 'Plans'. Includes a song that'll make your spirit soar.

Western States Motel. There's just something about this chill indie band I love.

Neil Young 'Harvest'

Uriah Heep. My and my buddies loved all of their albums. Blasting on the way to school in my '55 Ford wagon.
