Today's challenge is you favorite 1960's album. Obviously, there's tons to choose from. I'll just go with this classic. I watched a documentary on the making of this album on it's 50th anniversary. It was an unmatched musical feat when it came out. It would take decades for producers to catch up with what the Beatles did on this record.

I was very young when John Lennon was killed in 1980. I recall discovering my dad's Beatle albums because I had to find out more about this group. Rubber Soul, Abbey Road and this album were the ones that introduced me to the Fab Four.

Meltdown fun fact: Mark David Chapman is in prison in the very town I grew up in. Many correctional officer friends of mine have had interactions with him throughout the years.
