Fiona Apple · 2020

Don Johnson · 1986 Spin it Again - Richard Perry produced it, Steve Lukather played on it, and two million Americans bought it — the part your music-snob brain has to just sit with.

Wham! · 1984 Spin it Again - Every song on here was built by a twenty-one-year-old who understood the architecture of longing better than almost anyone working at the time.

Screaming Trees · 1992 Spin it Again - The record that proved the Screaming Trees were never really a grunge band — they just had the bad luck to live there.

Various Artists · 1992 Spin it Again - Everyone owns this for the Pearl Jam track and forgets there are nine other songs worth their time.

Michael Jackson · 1982 Spin it Again - Quincy Jones spent two years making sure every single second of this record felt inevitable, and unfortunately for everyone who came after, he succeeded.

Shuggie Otis · 1974 Spin it Again - A kid alone in his home studio in 1974, playing every instrument, going nowhere commercially, getting everything right.

Sly and the Family Stone · 1971 Spin it Again - Sly Stone locked himself in a home studio, turned the funk to mud, and made something so exhausted and paranoid it still sounds like 3am on a bad year.

Sade · 1985 Spin it Again - Sade Adu singing like she has nowhere to be and all the time in the world to get there, over jazz that never once tries to impress you.
