What’s your favorite album? What’s your favorite song? What’s your worst album? What’s your worst song? One of my favorites were… the worst album cover ever! That one was really fun. Now that I got that out of the way, I’ll start by copping out and saying it’s impossible with the thousands of albums I’ve listened to to pick a favorite. After I hand it to you and I pick it, I could take a nap, and when I wake up from that nap, I might change my mind!!

I’m a child of the British generation. There’s a ton of Stones and Beatles albums  that could be number one at any moment but since this is the moment in life that counts, the moment you’re asking me to pick my favorite album for this singular moment in time, Ray Davies of the Kinks, one of the greatest songwriters ever, put an album out called Face to Face.

Even though my favorite Kinks song, 'Waterloo Sunset,' is not on this album, when I go down each song on Face To Face, this LP feels to me like each tune is a pop masterpiece and each tune totally has its own personality. 14 unique pop masterpieces.
