A few months back my brother Matt tagged me in one of those Facebook album challenge things that make their way around every once in a while. I found myself having a hard time narrowing albums down so I switched it up to be a bit more specific. Sometimes OCD and ADD manifest in weird ways. At any rate, I was able to narrow down my favorite 7 inches from the ’90s – a task I found much more agreeable at the time.
Presented in two parts, here are the “A” sides to some of the best music ever recorded (from the ’90s) that appeared on a plastic circle of roughly 7 inches in diameter.
