Not counting the scores of 45 rpm Beatles records and their first couple LP's that my siblings and I bought together, I'd have to say: 1st: Jefferson Airplane: Crown of Creation 2nd: King Crimson: Court of the Crimson King  
Bluesound Node dropping out
@dean_palmer Thanks, but I stated the solution... the fiber jack or router just needed to be restarted. Wired and wireless speed tests were optimum. Just giving people with Google Fiber a "heads up" with the intent of saving them all the trouble...

Larry Coryell / Miroslav Vitous Quartet

Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums
Ten Years After: A Space in Time has several great tracks and the SQ is surprisingly good for 1971.  Lots of great guitar courtesy of Alvin Lee.   Beach Boys: Holland.   I have no use for side A (except "Sail-on" is good), but Side B...starting ...
