No opera or rap in the three must haves. Sorry.

128x128hbarrel

The Youngbloods - Elephant Mountain 

Pat Martino - First Light 

Miles Davis - In a Silent Way

 

I hope none of these are repeats - I did look...pick your own 3, too tough for me

Friday Night in San Francisco

The Well (IMPEX)

Breaking Silence

We Get Requests (Oscar Peterson)

Stardust

Lightnin Hopkins, Lightnin

Wildflowers and Damn the Torpedoes

Johnny Cash American II: Unchained

I own many of the LPs suggested and agree they are great records.  However, my criteria for 3 must have LPs would need to take into account how they actually sound of a good system.  Many of the LPs I grew up loving, get very little play today as they just weren't recorded very well to start with.  So classic LP's that also sound great:

Junior Wells - Come On In This House

Joshua Redman - Elastic (/Brain Blade's drumming is fantastic throughout)

Jimmy Smith - Dot Com Blues
