5/5
Here's a few random thoughts on why I chose this album: It was such a part of popular culture that I do think everyone should hear it. It's a part of 1960s culture that wasn't represented much--not everyone was listening to blues-inspired rock or folk. This music was still around and a huge part of my 70's childhood, especially on TV. The cover is iconic! I remember when there were a lot more instrumental songs on the radio and in the charts (did that end with Kenny G?) and I wanted to be reminded of that, and remember the great ones. I love the changing of styles of the popular songs--uptempo "Taste of Honey," striptease "Love Potion No. 9," a very Latin "Lemon Tree," and so on--I love when musicians play with songs like that. My 17-year-old son requested this album on our last road trip--I love that he loves this album. The musicians are awesome and that brass kicks ass. It's fun and joyful--those are important emotions, too!

I do enjoy Daft Punk, and as I haven't heard this whole album, it was great (although "Too Long" was as advertised!).
