We don’t need an excuse to discuss Christina Aguilera's pivotal 2002 album, Stripped, but its upcoming 21st birthday (OMG!!) is a perfect reason to revisit the tracks and discuss its undeniable influence. Mary’s BFF from high school Steff fills in for Kelsey this week as they go track by track and recall this album's impact (Don’t worry, Kelsey and Mary are back to their regularly scheduled shenanigans next week!).  Stream Stripped!
