RACHEL

RACHEL: Jason Webley’s "Against the Night". †I use it to center myself, it makes you see all the different spectrums in an equal light. †It has some of the most beautiful songs and some of the saddest.

ACE

ACE: Two songs from Bob Marley...”Who the Cap Fit” and “So Much Trouble."

JOE

JOE: The Weird Al album that had "Fat" on it, because I was hella down with Raffi.

RANA

RANA: I can picture it, but I can't remember the title... It was the super funkiest thing ever & it made me decide to play the bass guitar!

KRISTIN

KRISTIN: The Von Bondies because it inspired me to go back to school and change my life.

ALISARA

ALISARA: “Bone Machine” by Tom Waits.

MINDI

MINDI: Blonde Redhead’s "The Melody of Certain Undamaged Lemons." †It makes me feel infinite.

ANDY

ANDY: Hard Ons’ “Smell my Finger.” Life shouldn't be so serious all the time.

PANTS

PANTS: Radiohead’s "Kid A." It helps me dissolve.

KEN

KEN: Woodstock introduced me to my favorite style of music. 3 cheers for Wavy Gravy! If you don't have a sense of humor, live just isn't funny!

LAURA

LAURA: G Love & Special Sauce’s “Philadelphonic.

DONALD

DONALD: The GoGo's first album. They cropped their hair, wore lots of makeup and called themselves punk rockers—after that I wasn't a preppy anymore!

ED

ED: “Cosmic Thing” by the B-52's. Huh! Get a job?! What for? I'm trying to think.

JOHN

JOHN: "Forever Now" by the Psychedelic Furs.  The lush, smart sound forced me to cut my hair metal perm off a few days later.
