I think I know who you mean and IMO it's a solid move. I am trying to stick to more standard albums only but I am making a MASSIVE exception for one album so I won't hold a Greatest Hits album against anyone.

I thought that wasn't allowed?  There are a couple of Groups I would have done that with in the first five rounds if it was.

No greatest hits.

I think we really discouraged those kinds of compilations but also agreed it's your island, draft whatever you want. I doubt we will ever get everyone to agree to exact rules. The album I plan to take is a legitimate movie soundtrack so it is fair game, but a bit of a sneaky move.

If you have Showtime, there's a great Motown documentary that was released last year.  It focuses on their years in Detroit and includes interviews with most of the living legends of the label excluding Diana Ross.

It's an authorized biography so you're not going to hear any dirt dished.  But it's great that they were able to capture Berry and Smokey chopping it up in the old Motown studios.  There's a chemistry between these two old, rich friends that drives the film.

I have watched that probably twenty times over the last year.  The old Eagles one was good too.

 
18.03 - Run-D.M.C. - Raising Hell - 1986

I'll pick it for the crew, and because it still nearly beggars belief that it exists. A landmark. Simply put, you couldn't go anywhere without hearing this album booming from a boombox somewhere in 1986. MTV darlings because of their crossover hit with Aerosmith, Run-D.M.C. (Run, DMC, and Jam Master Jay) unleashed a Rick Rubin-produced album on the unsuspecting universe and crossed over from traditional television and radio stations known for being "black channels" and into public consciousness. These songs, unlike most of the '80s rock and roll bands attempts to sound modern, still sound fresh, their hi hats, cowbells, and seventies rock riffs still ring through one's ears like a whisper from a teenage girl.

*record scratches* Wait, what? Where'd that come from?

I don't know. This takes me back to when I was thirteen, so there's that. This album still ducking rocks. It's the perfect mixture of populism from the streets (Run DMC mixed with Rubin's production) given a megaphone for airplay. I'll give you the hits, but the other tracks on the album are...strong.

It's Tricky

Walk This Way

RIP Jam Master Jay

Hmm...there seems to be a lot of violence congregating on my island. Need to add some good vibes before I unwittingly develop the environment for a mutiny to emerge.

R.E.M. - Automatic For The People (1992)

I took Murmur last round and told myself I'd take this if it was still there. Totally different records, almost like getting a different band. Me and my uncle were very close and R.E.M. was his favorite band, so many fond memories. Happy to get this all-timer this late.

It's tough to pick a favorite REM record.  So many great ones but with Automatic and Murmur, you caught a couple keepers

 
18.9 In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra (1955)

One of my favorite slow, contemplative, late night albums. This isn't the big bold brassy Frank. This is 1 AM, can't sleep so I will pour myself another whiskey and think about the one that got away Sinatra. Breaking up with Ava Gardner will do that to you.
