5. Spacemen 3The Perfect Prescription
I found out about them from a friend in high school between my junior and senior year. He didn’t know how to describe them except it sort of sounded like The Rolling Stones. I listened and I didn’t hear that. It had that rootsiness to it maybe and that slight psychedelicness to it. I’ve listened to this album thousands of times but I don’t have all of their records and I don’t know what came before or after, but I do love this one. It’s just a vibe the entire time. I remember being with that guy who told me about them on our way to high school one day. We were supposed to be at school at 8:30 in the morning and we met at 7:30 in the morning under some bridge to drink beer before we went to school. This is what we were listening to. I only did that once and it wasn’t as fun as it sounded. But it was definitely a moment and it always stuck with me. It was a sunny day, cool out, probably a Thursday or Friday, long day of school ahead of us and we’re kicking back drinking stolen beer in someone’s car under bridge listing to The Perfect Prescription.
