  • Top 5 Album Covers - Dj and Reg Rank Their Favorites
    Dec 10 2025

    This episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/SQO72XG-KRg

    Out of literally hundreds, maybe thousands of albums, Reg and Dj picked out their top 5 covers.

    The task was difficult, but enjoyable, as sitting with these covers also meant digging up cherished memories that have shaped their childhood and adolescence.

    It's also possible that a single album cover made both of their lists.

    In the age of physical media slowly disappearing, we should take the time to sit with the art that we have, the art that influenced our development, and helped us become the people we are today. Hang on to your physical media.

    What about you? Any favorites that match? Some that don't? Let us know in the comments.
