Personal

Own?	Yes, CD.

In my 20s, my girlfriend was a big fan of Barenaked Ladies and had this album, so I heard it through it her. However, I wasn't much of a fan at the time, but I did like a couple songs on it, especially If I Had $1000000. After we broke up, I downloaded the band's popular songs and began to like them more which led me to notice that many of the songs I liked were on this album, so, I eventually bought it and gained a strong appreciation for it. It's now my third favorite album by the band.
