Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are?


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

128x128hbarrel

To start?

Desert, island, mountain cave... If I'd stay with "modern" music, and as long as I could have my system, these would be three to start "The 100 Collection":

Pink Floyd: Meddle
Can: Soon Over Babaluma
Wether Report: Black Market

 


 

These threads are always a great source for music you haven't heard although i'd probably err on the side of streaming many before buying a vinyl version.  Also obvious is that few here can confine it to three but i'll do my best:

1. Allman Bros--Live at Fillmore East--many recommendations on this one

2. Santana- Abraxas--played this one frequently at my student apartment in France in 1974 and my landlady next door begged to know what it was--i went and bought it for her and then got to listen to it through the walls nearly every night for a year--she told me it saved her marriage 😀 

3. Little Feat--Waiting for Columbus--IMO best live album ever recorded

The Allman Brothers Band - Fillmore East

The Clash - London Calling

Led Zeppelin - Houses Of The Holy

 

Hellbound Train-Savoy Brown

Rock n Roll Music to the World-Ten Years After

Rides Again-James Gang

 

just to offer some new flavor. Many more already named. How can you not love these discussions?

These are the three I HAVE to have, due to their sonics and sheer musicality.

 

John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman

Supersax Plays Bird

Just For A Thrill (Weslia Whitfield - a little rare, hard to find, but worth it)
   Here's a rip from vinyl.
