Sam Philips - Cruel Inventions
John Lennon Plastic Ono Band. Blows my mind every time.
I love Shocking Blue! Great choice. The Butterfly and I is a monster. Who would have expected such great Sitar.
RUSH - Moving pictures
Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks
Dire Straits - (S/T first album)
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Brian Eno - Another Green World
I tend to fall in the skeptical camp as no such thing exists. Classical selections demand multiple upon multiple purchases. However the sublime Requiem of Mozart all but precludes mediocrity.
Neither wick nor candle.
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Grant Green - Green Street
Mussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition
Vivaldi - The Four Seasons

….and yes. You guys are OLD. I’m 55 and I appreciate some of the music from the 60’s and 70’s but many of the suggestions on this thread read like a baby boomer mix tape or an audio show playlist. :)

The Mahavishnu Orchestra with John McLaughlin. Their first album "The Inner Mounting Flame" was a groundbreaking, genre bending masterpiece. Possibly one of the greatest jazz rock fusion albums ever. McLaughlin had just completed stints with Tony Williams and then Miles Davis. His guitar playing was featured on bitches Brew, and in a silent way. It was Miles who told him "you need to go off on your own You're too talented to be playing in somebody else's band".

Agree about McLaughlin. Have you listened to Miles Davis The Complete Jack Johnson sessions? McLaughlin kills. Definitely worth purchasing.
At the end of one jam, you can hear Miles say "John, that's some raunchy sh*t".
My favorite M.O. song though is Open Country Joy from Birds of Fire. That album is killer as well.

Kokua Festival with jack Johnson and friends. Live recorded album, great SQ and songs. Featuring: Dave Mathews, Tim Reynolds, willie Nelson, Taj Mahal, Eddie vedder, Jackson Browne, John Cruz, and more.. one of the best recorded Live albums that can be played top to bottom. Spacious sounding, like you’re there..
Elvis Golden Records Volume 1 thru 4.
Each one is a superb standalone album and each one interestingly distinct from the others.
I agree that there are many great albums start to finish, but glad fuzztone included Al Jarreau.
