some good ones named so far.

Plus any Blues, early Stones, marshall tucker, and alternative from Muse, The Verve, Incubus, Raconteurs, The Nationals, Keane, Shins, Modest Mouse, Broker Bells...

I've always liked Joe Jackson's "Body and Soul". Jackson clearly went for the Blue Note look and feel on this LP, and the sound is wonderful, IMHO.

I picked up a mint copy of "Crime of the Century" as some of you have picked.. and I must say..

WOW!

I had owned the CD in the past but the vinyl experience exposed a very translucent, ethereal quality that you can't get to on CD. The entire album sounded much more psychedelic and dreamy, with incredible detail in the mixes that were right there for you to hear. It was clearly mixed for the "audiophile" in mind.

A agree, an absolute sonic masterpiece that can surely rival any rock recording I have ever heard.
