Everybody’s Top 5 - Vinyl

to paraphrase Traffic “ sometimes I feel so constrained “

maybe that is the point….nothing magic about 5…and nothing magic about starting a top x or n thread alsooo.

i for one have the streamer working overtime with fresh new to me music that others have chosen to elevate…..

re RT: he does float my boat on several levels. Lucky to have caught him live in large and small venues alike. I particularly like the Live in Austin TX CD. 

There are any number of guitarists, blazingly fast with incredible technical skills that I find boring as oatmeal frappe….I don’t dwell on them, nor insist that you ignore…..

carry on

Since I'm seeing a dearth of RB/Soul/Pop, I'll list my top five in this category:
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
Prince - Purple Rain
Stevie Wonder - Hotter than July
Anita Baker - Rapture

Jazz:
Oliver Nelson - The Blues and the Abstract Truth
Cannonball Adderley - Somethin' Else
Dexter Gordon - The Other Side of Round Midnight
Miles Davis - Kinda Blue
Kenny Burrell - Blue Midnight

Metallica- Black Album / and Justice for All
Megadeth -Rust in Peace / Peace Sells
Slayer - Reign in Blood /South of Heaven
Overkill - Taking Over / I hear Black
Michael Jackson - Bad / Thriller
