Oh man, a few months ago I listened to Jagged Little Pill for the first time in YEARS, and was shocked (but shouldn't have been?) when I still could sing along to every single word. Hello, college dorm room! 😂 The Carpenter's singles album (on vinyl, natch) is also instant nostalgia for me. It was my mom's and we always listened to it cleaning the house on Saturdays when I was growing up.
ONE nostalgic album? Oh gosh, this is hard. I think I’m going to have to go with 20 Greatest Hits - Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn. Not because I am a huge country music fan (I am not), and not because it was released during my childhood (I think it was released over 10 years before I was even born), but simply because we had a limited stack of CDs when I was a kid and this one was played regularly. Hearing it immediately brings me back to the “concerts” my sister & I would put on for our dad in the living room of our old farmhouse. He listened graciously every time to our off-pace duet of ‘Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man’ and cheered after each of our dance routines to ‘Spiders and Snakes’. Talk about nostalgia 🥰
Family concerts are a CORNERSTONE of childhood. I also would choose a compilation: The California Raisins Sing The Hits. But a very close second would be Jock Jams.

This is SUCH a good album. Will have to fire her up today!
Now That’s What I Call Music — Volume 5. It has my whole heart.
