Album Journey Friday: The Album I Kept to Myself

Every record collection has a turning point. For me, it was Sweet's Desolation Boulevard (U.S. version). I'd heard it at a friend's house and loved it, but I knew my parents probably wouldn't approve. For a while, I kept walking past it in the record store. When I finally brought it home, I mostly listened through headphones. Looking back, it wasn't just another album. It was one of the first records that felt like it belonged to me—the beginning of discovering my own musical identity. 🎵 Tonight's Side One Spin: Pull out the first album that truly felt like your music. Listen to it with fresh ears and remember the person you were when it first entered your life.
