Jennifer Warnes - The Well Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms Cat Steven - Tea For Tillerman Rebecca Pidgeon - The Raven Steely Dan, Aja, Gaucho Eric Clapton - Unplugged
Norah Jones - Little Willies John Hiatt - Master of Disaster (I will admit skipping the opening song sometimes - otherwise a great listen) AK and RP - Raising Sand Walk the Line soundtrack
Just listened to the Woodstock soundtrack album from beginning to end. What a rush of memories. Excellent album through and through and easy to enjoy in toto especially considering it's 3 discs.
Went old school Sunday and listened to Radiohead's Moon Shaped Pool all the way through. Pretty damn good, kind of like Dark Side Of The Moon in that it keeps my attention all the way through. Good stuff.
John Hiatt's Terms Of My Surrender is also a fine record. Not a boring cut on it.
Too many favorites in my collection to mention with the exception of a CD I recently purchased that blew me away in terms of SQ. It sounds quite a bit better than any of my XRCD's and is up there with some of my better SACD's. (Alison Krauss + Union Station Live as my favorite SACD)
The CD is Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" (FIM PureFlection Ultra HD 32-Bit). It will set you back about $40 but its a steal IMHO. I just wish there was a larger collection of PureFlection CD's.
Many, many, some of which have been listed above. Van Morrison - Poetic Champions Compose Inarticulate Speech of the Heart Bryan Ferry - Bete Noir Girls and Boys
Hope you like it Marty. It's one of those that creeps up on you. Initially, it was just OK but I found I wanted to listen to it again a few days after the first time. It got better...and better...and better the more I listened. It's probably been months now since I first heard it on Spotify. Still hooks me after I-don't- know-how-many-listens. I went ahead and ordered the CD from Amazon just last night. Track 9 is killer. The whole thing is good.
Wow - great lists all. I have a lot of listening to do! Thanks!
I am very impressed two different list include Nina Hagan. I feel so alone sometimes...
Here's my list. I'll try to avoid duplications from above.

OMG! Was anyone alive in 1976? I can't list all the albums as I know them by their covers, not their names. But here is a list of bands. All fist albums are great, and many, like the Clash, were great throughout their careers. The clash Patti Smith The Jam The Stranglers The Police Ian Dury and the Blockheads The Sex Pistols Nina Hagen Talking Heads The Pretenders Laurie Anderson Siouxsie & Banshees DOA Television ETC.
I'm very fond of tons of albums listed here by other goners and listen to them a lot. Now I have some direction for expanding my horizons. However, 1976 to 1982 produced many, many great bands with fabulous first records.
This has never been an issue for me, here are just a fraction of them...
Glen Hansard, all of his solo work,...The Frames "Fitzcaraldo"!!!! Bill Callahan ...all Jason Molina ...all Orenda Fink "Blue Dream" Simon & Garfunkel "Bookends" Neil Young "Massey Hall 1971" Allison Krauss "Forget About It", Suzanne Vega "99.9F" Haley Bonar "Big Star" Lucinda Williams "Live at the Fillmore" Dire Straits "Communique".........
Stan Rogers almost every song before his death. Greatest Canadian singer ever. Greatest Folk Singer ever. 99% of Canadians have never heard of him. Being listening weekly for 25 years and never tire.
bdp24 can’t believe you mentioned Carlene Carter’s ’Musical Shapes’, one of the greatest albums that most people have never heard. CC backed by Rockpile. Just doesn’t get any better than that.
