What perfect albums came out when you were 16?* *No retroactive cool, please. Albums that were in the house that you actively purchased and listened to

Joy Electric’s album CHRISTIANsongs, which I bought on the release date at my local Christian bookstore

Starflyer 59’s incredible classic Everybody Makes Mistakes bought cheap from the Christian bookstore’s demo section

Luxury’s self-titled album, which I also bought from the used demos at the Christian bookstore

Five Iron Frenzy’s live album, Proof that the Youth are Revolting (pun intended). Definitely bought this day and date of release from the Christian bookstore and tacked the insert up on my wall
