100: Evergreen’s Seven Songs LP (1994)

This is one of those albums that becomes more popular and less available, but it stands up for me as a beautiful reflection of emo’s birth in the mid-90’s and everything that was great about the sound before it got bastardized and overdone. The rumor goes that there were 600 LPs printed, and 300 accidentally left on the side of the road during the tour, after a tire change. 300 of the most talked-about LP in indie rock (and was, even then) is special enough, but add the fact that music is actually really fucking gorgeous and you have something worth taking note of. One of those I found melted in a basement after moving into a new place.
