That’s a great selection of albums, Christmas 1995 must’ve been a good one, 1997 too!In 1995, I got my first ever CD player for Christmas and with it 3 CDs:
Janet/Design of a Decade, Ace of Base/The Bridge... and Mariah/Daydream.
I loved Fantasy which is why I asked for Daydream as a present. I still remember listening to Always Be My Baby for the first time on my bed and playing it over and over, but I wasn't an official lamb yet.
I wasn't obsessed with Mariah until Butterfly came out. I became so unbearable at school with how much I talked about Mariah at that time. Christmas 1997, I got the rest of her albums and I've been a lamb ever since.
Funnily I asked for the Daydream album for Christmas 1998, because I loved Fantasy so much and I was so disappointed when I discovered #1s did not feature the amazing album / single version… but instead the Bad Boy Remix…
So Daydream was my first Mariah studio album and I loved it, I think that has a lot to do with why I love that album so much.
Also Always Be My Better is such a wonderful song, I’ve come back to it a lot recently.
