Thank-ommendations
Since it’s the time of year to toss out thanks like they are that color-ambiguous jello dessert your great aunt made, we wanted to ask: what are you thankful for? Before you come back with the obvious normal things like family, friends, barrel aged stouts, or the last few months of freedom under the current regime, there’s one more stipulation.
Here at the Toilet, our mission is to make sure you have an endless supply of good music to keep your ears constantly entertained. I’d like to think we are succeeding beyond reasonable expectations, but let us know for sure. What albums, recommended at some point in our 3+ years of existence, are you thankful we wrote about?
Dig deep into your libraries and find some of your favorite Toilet recommendations that you think the author would be surprised you’re still listening to. Sure, we all comment when we enjoy a post, but what albums are you constantly revisiting? Pick a few and let us know who was responsible!
