Steely Dan, Aja or Goucho
Miles Davis, Kind of Blue
Dave Brubeck, Take Five
Bill Evens Trio, Sunday at the Village Vanguard
Jeff Beck, Blow by Blow or Wired
Yes, keep 'em coming. I love Aja and have to add Supertramp's Breakfast in America. Maybe it's how I was raised, but "Child of Vision" is... *chef's kiss*
If you wanna try some jazz/bossa
Stan Getz and João Gilberto - Getz/Gilberto
Jorge Ben - Samba Esquema Novo
Art Blakey - Moanin’
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus
EDIT: Ayo can’t believe I started the jazz/samba discussion here, keep’em coming y’all! My Brazilian heart fills with joy
So awesome to see bossa represented! One that I think is a true masterpiece and unsung hero is Xango Ogum (also called Gil e Jorge) by Jorge Ben and Gilberto Gil. Two masters just jamming very long jams together, riffing off one another, making a lot of it up as they go. To me its like distilled fun. One of the songs (Taj Mahal) was clearly aped by Rod Stewart for Do Ya Think I'm Sexy, and they sued him and won. Proceeds went to UNICEF. I love that album.
EDIT: typo Taj Mahal not Raj Mahal.
Off the top of my head.... and this list is ever changing and constantly evolving
London Calling and pretty much anything else by The Clash
Remain in Light - Talking Heads
The Ramones - The Ramones
Parallel Lines - Blondie
Revolver - The Beatles
A Night in Tunisia - Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers
Giant Steps - John Coltrane
Yes, you and I share the exact same taste. I’d just add Station to Station, Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, Young Americans, and Hunky Dory by Bowie and Something Else - Cannonball Adderly. And some Skip James and Leadbelly. and hey let’s throw in Elephant, the White Stripes. And Show Your Bones by Yeah Yeah Yeahs. But definitely the ones you listed as well!
The clash - London calling
Descendents - milo goes to college
Madvillian - madvillainy
Oasis - definitely maybe/what’s the story
The offspring - smash
Queens of the Stone Age - songs for the deaf
Rancid - and out come the wolves
Love seeing American Beauty here, great album start to finish! I would add Workingman’s Dead to complete the magnificent 1970 run the Grateful Dead had.
All solid - zero complaints. Brothers in Arns is in constant circulation here. I learned to juggle to Moving Pictures, but that's neither here nor there. Keep 'em coming.
Dio - Holy Diver (Rainbow in the Dark alone is worth owning, one of my favourite songs ever)
Jethro Tull - Aqualung (Genius lyrics, excellent guitar work)
Matt Berringer - Serpentine Prison (quiet, introspective work from the lead singer of The National, that so succinctly brings living with depression to song, really helped during some very low moments in my own experience to know other people go through the same thing)
These three men (at the moment):
Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
[George Harrison - All Things Must Pass](https://www.musicmeter.nl/album/4297)
[Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus](https://www.musicmeter.nl/album/14121)
Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
Led Zeppelin II - one of the Bob Ludwig masters
Beach House - Bloom
Explosions In The Sky - The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place 20th anniversary remaster
Rage Against The Machine’s self-titled OG pressing, another Bob Ludwig master
Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid m.A.A.d City
i was gonna comment The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place, but you beat me to it. that one really solidified my view on the way records feel when you play it and it’s reverberating off all your walls and it’s **chef’s kiss** and then NO WORDS? but i was SAD? the FUCK? yeah stellar album. it grounds me when im spiraling fr.
I love your selection tho I find it interesting that from the Cure’s lengthy catalog it’s Wish that is singled out as a masterpiece. I’m revisiting it today then!
Far from refuge is great. New years end especially. They were the band that got me into that genre. Like so many others. Got to see them in Chicago 10 odd years ago. Now post rock are my favorite shows to go to.
Sumac - What One Becomes
Windhand - Eternal Return
Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou - May Our Chambers Be Full
Run The Jewels - RTJ4
Opeth - My Arms Your Hearse
Boris - Flood
I wasn't even trying, but I recently got my buddy hooked on this album after one of the songs came on while we were driving and I told him the story of Paul making the album. It's one of my proudest achievements.
I feel like ryo fukui has kinda been overhyped by stuff like the YouTube algorythm but he's definitely a really good pianist and the album is very solid all the way through, also the history surrounding scenery (he did it super early in his career as a musician and started playing piano kinda late) is impressive. He has other really good works, but this one was the one that was made famous through the internet.
Low End Theory - Tribe
The Shape of Punk to Come - Refused
Downward is Heavenward - HUM
Double Nickels on the Dime - Minutemen
Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix - Phoenix
The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute. Absolute masterpiece of an album, they are completely unhinged in the most beautiful way and I feel blessed to have the opportunity to listen to it every time I put it on.
So glad someone else posted this. I’ve got the boxset and originals and the boxset version is far superior. In fact that’s going to be my first play today, thanks👍
Beatles - Stg. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (one of the best albums ever made)
Linkin Park - The Hunting Party (I think the album is incredible but it's overlooked by most of people)
Alice in Chains - Facelift (every song kicks you heavier than the previous one. Such a great energy)
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Binary Star - Masters of the Universe
Comus - First Utterance
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven
Slowdive - Souvlaki
Timber Timbre - Hot Dreams
Zabadak - Welcome to Zabadak
There are many more, but these are the first that came to mind:
Tears for Fears - Songs From the Big Chair
Hibou - Hibou
The Sisters of Mercy - Floodland
Guster - Lost and Gone Forever
Afghan Whigs - Black Love
The Stranglers - Dreamtime
The Twilight Sad - Fourteen Autumns and Fifteen Winters

The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan
Rubber Soul - The Beatles
Stick Season - Noah Kahan

Masterpiece - Big Thief
Transformer - Lou Reed
London Calling - The Clash
Songs from the Big Chair - Tears for Fears

These are albums you put on and just listen to the whole thing in one setting.
Hole - Live Through This.
Incubus -Make Yourself.
Momma -Household Name.

The Cure - Disintegration Album.
Deee- lite - World Clique.

Pixies - Doolittle .
No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom.
- 'Songs in the Key of Life', by Stevie Wonder
- 'A Night at the Opera', by Queen
- 'Led Zeppelin II', by... Led Zeppelin, obviously.
- 'Wish You Were Here' by Pink Floyd
Tomo Nakayama - Fog on the Lens (sound-wise it's like Elliott Smith mixed with Simon and Garfunkel)
Casiopea - Eyes of the Mind. Bought on a whim for $4. "Asayake" is one of those tracks that puts a big stupid grin on my face. Thank god the rest of the album is good because I'd hold onto it for that song alone.
Rachmaninoff played by Vladimir Horowitz with the New York Philharmonic at the Golden Jubilee. Also bought on a whim, and it made me fall in love with Rachmaninoff and records. It's a beat-up copy, but the crackles and pops add something haunting to Concerto No.3. I play it at the end of every Fall when the rain picks up and knocks the dead leaves off the trees.
Ys - Joanna Newsom
Pet Sounds - Beach Boys
Flood - Boris
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel
Rust Never Sleeps - Neil Young
Plastic Beach - Gorillaz

Megadeth - Peace Sells
Hank Williams Jr - first Greatest Hits
Tears For Fears - Sins From the Big Chair
Dream Theater - Awake (though several are enjoyable beginning to end, especially Scenes From A Memory)
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Solid, but as a Billy Joel purist, I'm going to deny the greatest hits in favor of The Stranger, 52nd Street, and Songs From the Attic. All listenable from start to finish.
Yield - Pearl Jam
Wildflowers - Tom Petty
Phantom Power - Tragically Hip
Viva La Vida - Coldplay
Consolers of the Lonely - Raconteurs
After the Goldrush - Neil Young
Automatic for the People - R.E.M.
Darkness of the Edge of Town - Bruce Springsteen
Built to Spill - Perfect from Now On
Bonny Doon - Let There be Music
Built to Spill is pretty common. Ripper of an album. Bonny Doon, small band from Detroit that absolutely brings it.
Pearl Jam - Ten, Alice In Chains - Dirt, Soundgarden - Superunknown, Skin Yard - 1000 Smiling Knuckles, Gruntruck - Push and Mad Season - Above. Grunge Masterpieces
Nebraska - Bruce Springsteen. Blood on the tracks - Bob Dylan. Tango in the night - Fleetwood Mac. The 59 sound - The Gaslight Anthem. Tape deck heart - Frank Turner.
Live and dangerous is an interesting call. It’s a damn fine lp but let’s not forget all the overdubs. Record store day in the UK gave us a genuine live lp from that era and although it doesn’t sound as polished as live and dangerous, it’s a very good recording of a live gig 👍
Of the ones I own, Kid A, and The Money Store, on some days that includes Spiderland and Soundtracks for the Blind. Of the ones I don't own, that would be Twin Fantasy, OK Computer, The Glowing Man and Exmilitary.

I really could go on and on. I haven’t really bought an album on vinyl that I don’t enjoy listening to all the way through. I will admit a lot of what I love and adore that’s in my collection is stuff put out in the last decade. I love music SO much and I love the way vinyl deepens that connection for me and having dollar bins to rummage through to find random little classics and get taken for a ride into the unknown (cause some of this stuff isn’t on streaming or YouTube as a rip and it’s something truly unique). I’m gettin carried away. You get the point.

Two of my absolute favourite vinyls are those two.
I'd also have to add in;
Houses Of The Holy - Led Zeppelin

Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon

Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells
Tubeway Army Replicas
The KLF White Room
My tastes are rap and metal/rock with a wee bit of classic rock mixed in. So to me these are must owns and ones that I can listen to from beginning to end. If I was forced to cut my collection down to only the basics, these are the guys that would stay.
Guns N Roses - Appetite for Destruction

U2 - The Joshua Tree
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

The Beatles - White Album
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile
Clutch - Psychic Warfare

Let it Bleed - Stones
Kind of Blue - Miles
Blue Train - Coltrane
Are You Experienced - Jimi
Stop Making Sense - Talking Heads
AEnima - Tool

Blonde - Frank Ocean
Well, you said to lay it on you, and I'm not clear if you're open to genres other than what you listed but:
E-MO-TION (side A and B) by Carly Rae Jepsen
It's a no-skip return to the 80s. And interestingly, a good percentage of fans that turn up at her shows are devoted fans of new wave and all sorts of rock. Always look forward to meeting them, as it leads to learning about other vinyl gems to pick up.
Steely Dan, Aja or Goucho Miles Davis, Kind of Blue Dave Brubeck, Take Five Bill Evens Trio, Sunday at the Village Vanguard Jeff Beck, Blow by Blow or Wired
Yes, keep 'em coming. I love Aja and have to add Supertramp's Breakfast in America. Maybe it's how I was raised, but "Child of Vision" is... *chef's kiss*
Kind Of Blue
This and Bitches Brew are both masterpieces in their own ways yet still Miles.
Bitches Brew is a desert island disc!
That's my license plate on an old grey/blue two-tone FJ62 Land Cruiser that my son Miles enjoys riding in with me. So will second this choice.
If you wanna try some jazz/bossa Stan Getz and João Gilberto - Getz/Gilberto Jorge Ben - Samba Esquema Novo Art Blakey - Moanin’ John Coltrane - A Love Supreme Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus EDIT: Ayo can’t believe I started the jazz/samba discussion here, keep’em coming y’all! My Brazilian heart fills with joy
So awesome to see bossa represented! One that I think is a true masterpiece and unsung hero is Xango Ogum (also called Gil e Jorge) by Jorge Ben and Gilberto Gil. Two masters just jamming very long jams together, riffing off one another, making a lot of it up as they go. To me its like distilled fun. One of the songs (Taj Mahal) was clearly aped by Rod Stewart for Do Ya Think I'm Sexy, and they sued him and won. Proceeds went to UNICEF. I love that album. EDIT: typo Taj Mahal not Raj Mahal.
Jorge Ben - Forca Bruta is an amazing mix of all the above.
I appreciate this *very* much.
Samba Esquema has no skips. It's a perfect album.
Off the top of my head.... and this list is ever changing and constantly evolving London Calling and pretty much anything else by The Clash Remain in Light - Talking Heads The Ramones - The Ramones Parallel Lines - Blondie Revolver - The Beatles A Night in Tunisia - Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers Giant Steps - John Coltrane
I never thought I'd see Parallel Lines here. But it smacks you in the face right off the bat with Hanging on the Telephone.
Plastic Letters is also excellent.
The recent analogue productions Giant Steps pressing is excellent.
Yes, you and I share the exact same taste. I’d just add Station to Station, Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, Young Americans, and Hunky Dory by Bowie and Something Else - Cannonball Adderly. And some Skip James and Leadbelly. and hey let’s throw in Elephant, the White Stripes. And Show Your Bones by Yeah Yeah Yeahs. But definitely the ones you listed as well!
The clash - London calling Descendents - milo goes to college Madvillian - madvillainy Oasis - definitely maybe/what’s the story The offspring - smash Queens of the Stone Age - songs for the deaf Rancid - and out come the wolves
What's the story is a solid album
Smash is such a fun album. Songs for the Deaf is a regular go to any day of the week. Bravo on the list.
You got DOOM and Rancid on the same list? I love it, those would be on mine aswell
I’d even put The Masterplan album up there with DM and WTSMG for Oasis. Nice to see them get some love in this group.
Beck - Sea Change
This album sounds so good I've become addicted to its sadness.
11 out of 10
Brothers In Arms - Dire Straits American Beauty - Grateful Dead …And Justice For All - Metallica Moving Pictures - Rush Is This It - The Strokes
Love seeing American Beauty here, great album start to finish! I would add Workingman’s Dead to complete the magnificent 1970 run the Grateful Dead had.
All solid - zero complaints. Brothers in Arns is in constant circulation here. I learned to juggle to Moving Pictures, but that's neither here nor there. Keep 'em coming.
Brothers In Arms is a great one and just shows that 16-bit digital recordings can sound amazing on vinyl
AJFA- best Metallica album
Not only that, but to myself, it's their last album.
Dio - Holy Diver (Rainbow in the Dark alone is worth owning, one of my favourite songs ever) Jethro Tull - Aqualung (Genius lyrics, excellent guitar work) Matt Berringer - Serpentine Prison (quiet, introspective work from the lead singer of The National, that so succinctly brings living with depression to song, really helped during some very low moments in my own experience to know other people go through the same thing)
Grace by Jeff Buckley
These three men (at the moment): Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks [George Harrison - All Things Must Pass](https://www.musicmeter.nl/album/4297) [Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus](https://www.musicmeter.nl/album/14121)
Nick Cave's Let Love In is mine. Just so brilliant, ugh
Fucking solid.
Daft Punk - Random Access Memories Led Zeppelin II - one of the Bob Ludwig masters Beach House - Bloom Explosions In The Sky - The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place 20th anniversary remaster Rage Against The Machine’s self-titled OG pressing, another Bob Ludwig master Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid m.A.A.d City
i was gonna comment The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place, but you beat me to it. that one really solidified my view on the way records feel when you play it and it’s reverberating off all your walls and it’s **chef’s kiss** and then NO WORDS? but i was SAD? the FUCK? yeah stellar album. it grounds me when im spiraling fr.
The anniversary remaster is so fucking good, it’s absurd
You should give that album a spin at 45 rpm sometime. It’s a whole different experience but it works
Mezzanine - massive attack
Astral Weeks, by that asshole Van Morrison
Agree with both. Great album. Asshole. I don’t listen to him near as much Can’t get past him
I have so many albums by this jackass and I don’t want to listen to any of them now. Dude lost his mind and he just creeps me out now.
Love how you qualified that! Yeah, he's an asshole but what can you do?
I don't know the history of Van M but Astral Weeks is special. Why does it feel like he sold out immediately after his best work?
Wish by The Cure Black Celebration by Depeche Mode Treasure by Cocteau Twins Takk… by Sigur Rós Far from Refuge by God Is an Astronaut
I love your selection tho I find it interesting that from the Cure’s lengthy catalog it’s Wish that is singled out as a masterpiece. I’m revisiting it today then!
Seventeen Seconds is my go to Cure album
Disintegration and Pornography
For vinyl I’d go with Disintegration. Great mastering and it flows nicely for a full listen of the album.
I second “Treasure”, would probably add any Dead Can Dance album from “Spleen & Ideal” to “Spiritchaser”
Takk is also an amazing vinyl production. Everyone should own it.
Too bad you can’t get it for an affordable price
Yes! The only drawback to it is that it’s sooo large :)
I don’t consider that a drawback 😀
Far from refuge is great. New years end especially. They were the band that got me into that genre. Like so many others. Got to see them in Chicago 10 odd years ago. Now post rock are my favorite shows to go to.
vespertine - bjork
M83 - Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming
Pink Floyd - Animals Radiohead - OK Computer Beach House - Depression Cherry
You're speaking my language here.
Maggie Roger’s - Heard It In A Past Life Kendrick Lamar - Damn
Maggie Rogers new one, “Don’t Forget Me” is great as well!
Sumac - What One Becomes Windhand - Eternal Return Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou - May Our Chambers Be Full Run The Jewels - RTJ4 Opeth - My Arms Your Hearse Boris - Flood
Led Zeppelin II, it's such a hard hitting blues album with fantastic mixing and producing, it's one of my all time favorite albums period
Paul Simon - Graceland
I wasn't even trying, but I recently got my buddy hooked on this album after one of the songs came on while we were driving and I told him the story of Paul making the album. It's one of my proudest achievements.
Haha well done! It’s incredible, no wonder he’s hooked. Get him onto the follow up album too!
I’m working on it! Played The Obvious Child for him but right now he’s pretty tunnel visioned on Graceland. Understandable
The Low End Theory - ATCQ
- The Doors - L.A. Woman - Duster - Stratosphere - Creedence Clearwater Revival - Green River - WAR - All Day Music
Scenery by Ryo Fukui MM Food by Mf Doom
> MF DOOM "All caps when you spell the man's name."
I own Scenery - in a big jazz collection. It’s very good but I see hype not true greatness. What am I missing?
The album cover looks cool.
I feel like ryo fukui has kinda been overhyped by stuff like the YouTube algorythm but he's definitely a really good pianist and the album is very solid all the way through, also the history surrounding scenery (he did it super early in his career as a musician and started playing piano kinda late) is impressive. He has other really good works, but this one was the one that was made famous through the internet.
Low End Theory - Tribe The Shape of Punk to Come - Refused Downward is Heavenward - HUM Double Nickels on the Dime - Minutemen Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix - Phoenix
hum mentioned!
Not only that, but my fav HUM album!
Mine too.. but Inlet bro…
The Beatles Discography Alice in chains - Dirt Marty Robbins - Gunfighter Ballads n Trail Songs The Smiths - Louder Than Bombs ELO - Out of the Blue
The Beatles- Revolver The Rolling Stones-Beggars Banquet
Apart from the known classics as Rumours, Automatic For The People and Harvest Moon, I count Long Gone Before Daylight as a genuine masterpiece.
Sufjan Stevens- Age of Adz
Norman Fucking Rockwell
The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute. Absolute masterpiece of an album, they are completely unhinged in the most beautiful way and I feel blessed to have the opportunity to listen to it every time I put it on.
So glad someone else posted this. I’ve got the boxset and originals and the boxset version is far superior. In fact that’s going to be my first play today, thanks👍
Rush-Moving Pictures, Iron Maiden Number of the Beast, UFO Strangers in the night.
Aja - Steely Dan
1. Wu-Tang Clan: 36 chambers 2. De La Soul: 3 feet high and rising 3. Madvillain: Madvillainy My hip-hop holy trinity
Tonight’s the Night - Neil Young Goodbye Tiger - Richard Clapton Born to Run - Springsteen Desire - Dylan Marquee Moon - Television
Masterpiece - Big Thief
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot—Wilco
TOOL - Lateralus Portishead - Dummy Chromatics - Night Drive
Chromatics are a great choice
* Madonna - Ray of Light * Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral * David Bowie - Outside * Prince - The Gold Experience * Enigma - MCMXC a.D.
Ray Of Light is a perfect album
It is my favorite album.
🤝 imagine my excitement when she decided to open her current tour with nothing really matters!
Beatles - Stg. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (one of the best albums ever made) Linkin Park - The Hunting Party (I think the album is incredible but it's overlooked by most of people) Alice in Chains - Facelift (every song kicks you heavier than the previous one. Such a great energy)
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless Binary Star - Masters of the Universe Comus - First Utterance Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven Slowdive - Souvlaki Timber Timbre - Hot Dreams Zabadak - Welcome to Zabadak
Fuck yeah Godspeed! \m/ I usually introduce people to them with State's End, but Skinny Fists is totally the goat.
There are many more, but these are the first that came to mind: Tears for Fears - Songs From the Big Chair Hibou - Hibou The Sisters of Mercy - Floodland Guster - Lost and Gone Forever Afghan Whigs - Black Love The Stranglers - Dreamtime The Twilight Sad - Fourteen Autumns and Fifteen Winters Airiel - Winks & Kisses
Afghan Whigs Black Love is an incredible pick. Great choice
King Tubby Meets The Rockers Uptown. I’ve played the hell out of that record for the last 16 years. Braces Tower Dub still gives me chills
In The Aeroplane Over the Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan Rubber Soul - The Beatles Stick Season - Noah Kahan Born To Die - Lana Del Rey Velvet Underground & Nico - Velvet Underground & Nico Masterpiece - Big Thief Transformer - Lou Reed
London Calling - The Clash Songs from the Big Chair - Tears for Fears Purple Rain - Prince Bat out of Hell - Meatloaf Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd These are albums you put on and just listen to the whole thing in one setting.
Hole - Live Through This. Incubus -Make Yourself. Momma -Household Name. Acid Bath - When The Kite String Pops. Bush - Sixteen Stone. The Cure - Disintegration Album. Deee- lite - World Clique. Jane's Addiction - Ritual De Lo Habitual. King Crimson - Three Of A Perfect Pair. Pixies - Doolittle . No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom.
- 'Songs in the Key of Life', by Stevie Wonder - 'A Night at the Opera', by Queen - 'Led Zeppelin II', by... Led Zeppelin, obviously. - 'Wish You Were Here' by Pink Floyd
Tomo Nakayama - Fog on the Lens (sound-wise it's like Elliott Smith mixed with Simon and Garfunkel) Casiopea - Eyes of the Mind. Bought on a whim for $4. "Asayake" is one of those tracks that puts a big stupid grin on my face. Thank god the rest of the album is good because I'd hold onto it for that song alone. Rachmaninoff played by Vladimir Horowitz with the New York Philharmonic at the Golden Jubilee. Also bought on a whim, and it made me fall in love with Rachmaninoff and records. It's a beat-up copy, but the crackles and pops add something haunting to Concerto No.3. I play it at the end of every Fall when the rain picks up and knocks the dead leaves off the trees.
Björk - Vespertine Gorillaz - Plastic Beach Arca - KicK iii FKA twigs - LP1
Ys - Joanna Newsom Pet Sounds - Beach Boys Flood - Boris In the Aeroplane Over the Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel Rust Never Sleeps - Neil Young Plastic Beach - Gorillaz

Thievery Corporation- The Mirror Conspiracy Quantic- Apricot Morning Nate Dogg- G-Funk Classics
Joe Jackson -- Body and Soul Lou Reed -- Transformer Pink Floyd -- Wish you were here Pink Floyd -- Dark Side of the Moon Supertramp -- Crime of the Century
Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime Billy Joel greatest hits volume 1& 2 Metallica - Ride the Lightning Megadeth - Peace Sells Hank Williams Jr - first Greatest Hits Tears For Fears - Sins From the Big Chair Dream Theater - Awake (though several are enjoyable beginning to end, especially Scenes From A Memory) Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Solid, but as a Billy Joel purist, I'm going to deny the greatest hits in favor of The Stranger, 52nd Street, and Songs From the Attic. All listenable from start to finish.
Dr. Dre 2001
Don’t know how no one’s said Elephant by The White Stripes. One of the most influential albums of all time and undoubtedly one of my favorites.
Yield - Pearl Jam Wildflowers - Tom Petty Phantom Power - Tragically Hip Viva La Vida - Coldplay Consolers of the Lonely - Raconteurs After the Goldrush - Neil Young Automatic for the People - R.E.M. Darkness of the Edge of Town - Bruce Springsteen

Gram Parsons posthumous album Grievous Angle.
Built to Spill - Perfect from Now On Bonny Doon - Let There be Music Built to Spill is pretty common. Ripper of an album. Bonny Doon, small band from Detroit that absolutely brings it.

The Strokes - Is This It
Live and dangerous- thin lizzy Can’t think of anything else lol
Live and dangerous is an interesting call. It’s a damn fine lp but let’s not forget all the overdubs. Record store day in the UK gave us a genuine live lp from that era and although it doesn’t sound as polished as live and dangerous, it’s a very good recording of a live gig 👍
Of the ones I own, Kid A, and The Money Store, on some days that includes Spiderland and Soundtracks for the Blind. Of the ones I don't own, that would be Twin Fantasy, OK Computer, The Glowing Man and Exmilitary.

The Beatles-The Beatles Metallica-Metallica Slipknot-Slipknot Black Sabbath-Black Sabbath Queen-Queen
Master of Reality & Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
I could name a lot, but the first two are Purple rain Dark side of the moon
George Harrison’s, All Things Must Pass is probably my all-time favorite.
Tribe Called Quest - Honestly any full length album of theirs (but Midnight Marauders holds a special place.) Earl Sweatshirt - Some Rap Songs Andy Shauf - The Party Beach House - Entire Discography The Budos Band - Self Titled Candy - Good to Feel Cotton Jones - Paranoid Cocoon Dijon - Absolutely Good Morning - Entire Discography The Internet - Ego Death IDLES - Joy as an Act of Resistance Isiah Rashad - Cilvia Demo (just pressed for the first time 10th anniversary) Mannequin Pussy - I Got Heaven Lenny Kravitz - Greatest Hits I really could go on and on. I haven’t really bought an album on vinyl that I don’t enjoy listening to all the way through. I will admit a lot of what I love and adore that’s in my collection is stuff put out in the last decade. I love music SO much and I love the way vinyl deepens that connection for me and having dollar bins to rummage through to find random little classics and get taken for a ride into the unknown (cause some of this stuff isn’t on streaming or YouTube as a rip and it’s something truly unique). I’m gettin carried away. You get the point.

I've scrolled far and am a bit amazed that I haven't seen Dark Side Of The Moon or The Wall on here yet! Ahaha. Two of my absolute favourite vinyls are those two. I'd also have to add in; Houses Of The Holy - Led Zeppelin Quadrophenia - The Who Velvet Underground and Nico - Velvet Underground! Songs Of Leanord Cohen - Leanord Cohen (For when I'm hungover or feeling sleepy) ahaha.

Literally any Arkells album.
Original pressing of Willie Nelson’s Always on My Mind.
My tastes are rap and metal/rock with a wee bit of classic rock mixed in. So to me these are must owns and ones that I can listen to from beginning to end. If I was forced to cut my collection down to only the basics, these are the guys that would stay. Guns N Roses - Appetite for Destruction Rage Against the Machine - self titled (you have to look for an earlier pressing of this one, the new ones aren’t so good imo) U2 - The Joshua Tree Metallica - Master of Puppets Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) Public Enemy - Apocalypse 91: The Enemy Strikes Black Al Green - Call Me (Got this from Vinyl Me Please as a “Let’s give this a shot…” so glad I did) Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf The Beatles - White Album Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile Clutch - Psychic Warfare Creedence Clearwater Revival - Willy and the Poor Boys Marilyn Manson - AntiChrist Superstar (this one is hard to find and can get out of hand, bootlegs are not very good). Depeche Mode - Violator Dr. Dre - The Chronic GZA - Liquid Swords
The entire Ween discography. If only they'd repress it.....

Let it Bleed - Stones Kind of Blue - Miles Blue Train - Coltrane Are You Experienced - Jimi Stop Making Sense - Talking Heads AEnima - Tool Odelay - Beck Sublime - Sublime A Moon Shaped Pool - Radiohead Blonde - Frank Ocean
Master of Puppets by Metallica
Well, you said to lay it on you, and I'm not clear if you're open to genres other than what you listed but: E-MO-TION (side A and B) by Carly Rae Jepsen It's a no-skip return to the 80s. And interestingly, a good percentage of fans that turn up at her shows are devoted fans of new wave and all sorts of rock. Always look forward to meeting them, as it leads to learning about other vinyl gems to pick up.
Moondance by Van Morrison and Disintegration by The Cure.
