To be honest, I was just sitting alone in my flat on Friday night and stuck on RATMs debut for the first time in years. It struck me what an incredibly accomplished record it is for a debut and how almost every song on it is a classic, not good, not great but a
classic.
That's pretty much all the thought that went into this thread. Nostalgia and volume made me temporarily ignorant of the rest of the history of popular music.
