REVEAL MY ALBUM → Side A, Track One Your Album Is…Nevermind turned thirty-five last month and the arguments started up again immediately, which is what these four records do. Here is yours, what it says about you, and the case for it being the best album on the list. RumoursYou are the beautiful disaster who keeps everybody together anyway. Rumours was made by five people who were all breaking up with each other in the same room and refusing to stop working, and it came out sounding like the sunniest record of the decade. You process everything out loud, in company, and your friends know far more than they should. It won Album of the Year at the 1978 Grammys and has sold somewhere past forty million copies since. Daisy Jones & The Six was built almost entirely on this era, which is how you know the drama still sells. Your risk is the band's risk, which is mistaking the chaos for the thing that makes you good. Dark Side of the MoonYou are the one who went quiet and came back with a theory. Dark Side is an album about time, money, pressure and losing your mind, built so carefully that it still sounds like it was finished yesterday. You need silence and a long walk before you can tell anybody what you think. It spent well over nine hundred weeks on the Billboard 200, a run no other album has come close to. The Wizard of Oz sync myth has outlived several generations of stoned students and refuses to die. You can overthink a thing until it stops being fun, and the people around you notice before you do. Purple RainYou are the main character and you have never pretended otherwise. Purple Rain is an album, a film and a complete personality delivered at once, by somebody who decided he was going to be the most interesting person alive and then simply was. You walk into a room and adjust it, and you would rather be talked about than ignored. Prince won the Academy Award for Best Original Song Score in 1985, and nobody has won it since. The film is a genuinely strange piece of work, and the title track live is still the high-water mark. Your weakness is needing the audience, which is fine until the night nobody turns up. NevermindYou want it on your own terms or not at all. Nevermind is the record that dragged the underground into the middle of the mainstream and then spent the rest of its life uncomfortable about having done it. You are suspicious of anything everybody agrees on, including the things you loved first. It knocked Michael Jackson off the top of the Billboard 200 in January 1992 and changed what radio sounded like. It turned thirty-five in September, and the reissue arguments have been running ever since. Your flaw is that liking something popular feels like losing, and you miss good records that way. ↻ RETAKE THE QUIZ
