Wow an old album that rocked your world

I know this is a Hifi forum but isn’t it about the music as well. Has anyone recently played a
Vinyl, disc or whatever you are into. One that you forgot was so good and totally was blown away by the music and the recording? If so share it with us. Mine was Mahavishnu orchestra Birds of Fire. Have not listened to that for some time. Wow. FORGOT HOW GOOD THAT WAS. 
This is what Hifi is all about IMO.

West Side Story.

All versions are good.

The Tilson Thomas has the best production and the original 1958 Broadway release is a classic recording full stop.

iron57,

"Ok, one more, and I am sure it will not be appreciated by most, but an album that absolutely punched me in the face and introduced me to underground extreme metal was Napalm Death’s grindcore masterpiece From Enslavement to Obliteration. m/"


That brings back a few memories!
My brother was already into Metal in the 80s and even went to see Napalm Death (and Carcass) a few times. I remember how he kept a £10 note signed by Shane Embury pinned on his wall for years.

I wasn’t a big fan, especially after the relentless music caused one of my speakers to bite the dust. Ever the audiophile, I only got as far as Slayer and Tankard and couldn’t really appreciate those 10 second blitzkrieg solos back then.

I think I could now.
