Weekend listening party

I went to my brother's place for dinner this weekend, and we spent most of the evening listening to records.  That's actually normal for an evening there, but in this case we were on some kind of record listening adventure, playing single sides and digging deep into the collection.  As a result, my daughter now has 3 new albums atop her must-have list of vinyl:

I was about 16 I think when I heard this the first time, and really loved it.  Back then I had it on cassette and I think I just listened to the first side and rewound it over and over again.  Listening to both sides, I was pleasantly surprised at how good the second side was.  Maybe "pleasant" is the wrong word to associate with MLWTTKK, but you know what I mean.

Ah, INXS.  I know every song on this album by heart. "Never Tear Us Apart."  So many tears shed, quietly, by myself.  SHUT UP!

There's a lot of familiar material on this album, even for people who've never listened to it - parts have shown up in movies, commercials, tv shows, etc.  This album is solid gold, and worth listening to in its entirety.  On vinyl, it's a double album.  We started with the second side of the first record, which kind of threw me for a loop.  Do you ever have that experience, being jarred out of the normal order of things and having to reorient?  Kind of like seeing someone you know from work when you're at the grocery store.
