Yourself Or Someone Like You (Matchbox Twenty)

Powered by radio-friendly megahits like 3 AM and Push, Matchbox Twenty's debut album demolished charts and set the stage for a career that would continue to generate megahits one after the other. This first album remains one of thier strongest, and one we had an easy time revisiting.

Listen along with us for next time. Your homework for next time is "Appetite For Destruction" by Guns N' Roses.
