The First Album - The Board of Education

Artist: The Board of Education

Album: The First Album (AKA their debut)

Description: As I said in my review of the album many years ago, it's for "that 9- to 12-year-old kid who's probably the smartest kid in class. School is the central part of their life, learning something so freakin' cool, even if the rest of the day doesn't quite measure up."  Also, it rocks.
