I like to pick on the band but of course they are great, and any sort of &#8220;best of&#8221; is especially great. I don&#8217;t have any memories or attachments with this one, but I was reminded of something when I was listening to it during dinner. The year Eponymous came out, 1988, is about when Mary&#8217;s sister Jolly was running track for the University of Georgia and living in Athens, GA.
