Our favorite albums for today are bookended by two classic albums recorded for a pittance – £9,000 in 1979 and $6,400 in 1976.

An album dedicated to Groucho Marx, the final Velvet Underground album with Lou Reed, and the last studio recording of Nirvana are on today’s 10 Favorite Albums.

In the comments for today’s 10 favorite albums, one DJ negs a beloved artist, another cries out for a tiny boat, and a third demands that we all ‘Show Dominance’.

This installment of our favorite albums includes Janis Joplin’s final studio release, an album whose name is inspired by a Winston Churchill quote, and a recording that was interrupted by a dying horse.
