| Best debut album I kinda mentioned Tiny Tim ‘tongue and cheek’, but when you think back to when it was released, it made quite the impression....nobody knew quite what to think, and he became an over night oddball success. Everyone took notice, young and old. | |

| Youngsters these days. I guess I fall into the hard copy ‘old curmudgeon’ camp.I stream to find new music, check out music I’ll probably never purchase, or when I’m extremely lazy, but, I grew up with the comfort and excitement of having a physical collection of albums,... | |

| Best debut album @mitchagain Mark Eitzel: "60 Watt Silver Lining"Wow, now there is a blast from the past. I knew Mark when he lived in Columbus and a member of ‘The Cowboys’, a sorta punk/‘new wave’ local band at the time. I still have their only 45 released at th... | |
