Absolutely not--what fun is that?
What was the first album you owned?
Meet the Beatles.

Ray Davies, because he's a great songwriter.
Figurative gun to your head, what is your favorite album of all time?
Probably Pet Sounds, though that's such a stock answer. I'm sorry. Maybe I should say Wheels of Fire or Cold Hard Facts of Life.
