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


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

128x128hbarrel

 

- The Band: Music From Big Pink.

- The Band: s/t (the "brown" album).

- Either Iris DeMent’s My Life (critic Robert Christgau gave it an A+ grade) or John Hiatt’s Bring The Family.

All four are, imo, perfect albums.

I remember seeing and thinking about that as well as one for male singers ,

thanks for the reminder , I'll look for that .

What albums do I listen to over and over again?

Fleetwood Mac (The second incarnation)

Rolling stones—Exile on Main Street

U2—Joshua Tree

Honorable Mention:

Steely Dan—Aja

Led Zeppelin—Physical Graffiti

The Beatles—Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Amy Winehouse—Back to Black

Alabama Shakes—Boys and Girls

Frank Sinatra—Sinatra at the Sands

Pet Sounds (mono)

s/t - Warren Zevon

Mahler - Symphony No. 3. Abbado/Vienna or Bernstein CBS (360 label)

I love so much of this music, interesting that it's practically all recorded on old equipment that doesn't sound near as good as we have now. Funny how the important part ultimately is the music not the equipment. 

Chris Botti - When I fall in love

Van Morrison -Moondance

Frank Sinatra -The Very Good Years
