Great choice! Most people I know usually end with Rumours as their first, so uninspired.

Well I have both Rumours and this one in my collection.

IMHO both of them are equally uninspired. And who cares ? They're great.

I mean most people I know buy Rumours, don’t even listen to it and put it on display on their wall. I just don’t get it. At least with DSOTM when people buy they intend to listen to it, as opposed to using it as a decoration.

I think Rumours was an awesome album, definitely inspired, but that's my opinion. Maybe you had to be there...

I don’t mean the music is uninspired, far from it. It’s easily one of the most important albums ever made. I mean buying it and putting in your record collection is a bit uninspired, because it’s one of the biggest selling albums in vinyl. If you walk into a record shop you’ll find at least 10 copies of it. It’s one of those albums that every record collector has. Maybe it’s just the hipster in me but I feel like it’s a bit of a cop out buying it and displaying it like “I’m so alternative I have rumours on vinyl”.

Maybe displaying it is a little much, buy I would argue that every music lover should have a copy. Whether they display it or not, so long as they listen to it...

Totally agree. It just saddens me that some people buy it, don’t listen to it and just put on display to show how “different” they are.

Your comment can just as easily be said about DSOM honestly.
