Those rare albums that are great on first listen.

Lots of excellent choices and quite a few out of my “comfort zone” even though I have an eclectic taste in music. 
 

I have probably gleamed at least a dozen album titles from people’s recommendations that I am going to gather for headphone/2.1 stereo listening. 
 

it is always good to expand your horizons. Great topic. 

Wow what a great thread, keep them coming! Forgot my favorite Pete Townsend album with small faces alumni Ronnie Lane, "Rough Mix". A real sleeper album at the time , I think I was the only person in our group at the time who had ever heard or listened to it.

Mellow Yellow by Donovan, Traffic - Welcome to the Canteen, Darryl Hall and John Oats- Abandoned Lunchinette, Joe Cocker - Mad Dogs and Englishmen, and a big thumbs up for "Tea for the Tillerman" listened to all of these on a continous rotation.

Laufey; Everything I know about love

Samara Joy;  Linger awhile

Don't find this a rare enough event to post 

Allegri, Miserere - The Tallis Scholars
