41: Gang of Four’s Entertainment! (1979)

Entertainment is a classic for so many reasons. It sent tons of young musicians out to become rock stars, and paved the way for post-punk and pist-punk in the ’80s and ’90s. “At Home He’s a Tourist” is one of the most incredible songs in the rock’n'roll annals. Every time I listen to this record, I’m taken right back to my first house after moving out of my parents’ place, setting up my record player and enjoying the freedom of a new start with one of the most influential records of my youth. I’m lucky to have found this as early in life as I did, considering I was two when it was released.
