In 1995 Nascar was starting to get hot. Jeff Gordon was on his way to his first Cup championship, TV ratings were on the rise, and for the first time ever, stock car racing was somewhat cool. So what better way to celebrate the sport’s success than with an album of bland middle-of-the-road country music?

The Review: One of the greatest concept albums ever released, Pink Floyd’s magnum opus may have split the band, but was what brought prog-rock to the fore—oh, wait, this isn’t Pink Floyd’s The Wall.
