Why I Chose It: I love the sound of the album and the band really swings! I used to listen to this album all the time in my car when I lived in Japan 2002-2003. I have great memories associated with listening to the album. It was one of the best times of my life.
Year I Discovered It: 2002. I grabbed a handful of cassette tapes that I thought I might want to listen to when I moved to Japan. I had heard this album before but it was only when I started listening to it in Japan did I really get into it.
Ultimate Track: “One O’Clock Jump”.
Tool , Lateralus

Why I Chose It: I have listened to this album more than any other album, ever. It is pure genius. Everything from the sound of the album, to the song arrangements, to the lyrics. I love it. It never ceases to be inspiring to me. And how they can groove in odd time signatures so effortlessly is just amazing.
Year I Discovered It: 2001. I was a junior at the University of Arizona and my roommates were metal heads. They brought this album home when it first came out and I had them make me a copy. I’ve been listening to it ever since.
Ultimate Track: “Lateralus”.
Otis Spann and Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson, Bosses of the Blues Vol II

Why I Chose It: Otis Spann is one of my heroes, and this album shows his amazing artistry beautifully. This is another album I have listened to forever… over and over.
Year I Discovered It: 1991. My blues piano teacher turned me on to it. I was in 5th grade. By the time I was in 6th grade I had this album on repeat almost every day. Much of what I have learned of Otis Spann’s style was facilitated by this album being ingrained into my subconscious.
Ultimate Track: “Got My Mojo Working”.
