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


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

128x128hbarrel

Everything by Pink Floyd

Everything by Van Morrison

Everything by Mark Knopfler/Dire Straights  

Oh, have to mention - Everything of what little there was by Amy Winehouse and Eva Cassidy (gone way too young)

So many more, I wasn't sure where to even start

Europe '72 - Grateful Dead

Car Wheels on a Gravel Road - Lucinda Williams

Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan

And because I have to include at least one jazz album:

Eyes of the Heart - Keith Jarrett, Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden, Paul Motian

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
