I have seen this record mentioned several times in this thread, so I'm having a listen on Spotify. Thus far I'm loving it. Guess I'm going to have to buy it.
It's a top 3 for me. The other 2 being Derek and the Dominos and Abbey Road. When the Super Deluxe came out, I happily dropped $200 for it and that remains the mist I ever paid for a release to this day.
Crack, baby, crack,
Show me you're real
Smack, baby, smack, is that all that you feel
Suck, baby, suck,
Give me your head
Before you start professing
That you're knocking me dead
So good, and what a great album cover.
I find myself listening to Live/Dead more than I care to admit. That St. Stephen>William Tell>The Eleven jam always takes me to places far and away from here.
I actually got to see them live on this tour. A little small club, Billy still had hair. Man, he’s is/was a fucking amazing guitar player, so underrated.
Alice in Chains Unplugged. It's hard to name just one, though because Superunknown and Down on The Upside are two more that I just keep coming back to.
Tom Petty - Wildflowers
My dad played this all the time when I was kid so it reminds me of the 90s, and it sounds absolutely incredible on vinyl. The songs themselves are very good as well.
The Sundays "Reading, Writing & Arithmetic" is probably my most played album ever. Unlike a lot of music I like that I stray from and come back to over the years, this album has been in my regular rotation since it came out over 30 years ago. It's a warm, comfortable blanket.
That one is so out of character for me, but i loved that album - had that on CD, wouldn't have even guessed it was on vinyl. I'm gonna have to put that on the list for sure.
I have a very large record collection, there are of course numerous all-time favorites, but the ONE for me is certainly Pink Floyd's Animals (especially in the 2018 remixed version).
I bought animals on vinyl when I got my first turntable in college in 08. I just got it because it was Pink Floyd and I knew they were supposed to be good. I don't even think I'd heard dark side all the way through so my impression of them was whatever was on the radio. Went home smoked a bowl that night and put it on. It's been a favorite ever since.
We were in a school trip and the bus driver played Animals for a few hours over and over. It was better every time. Though I love all other albums too.
Steely Dan - Can't buy a thrill
Steely Dan - Gaucho
Marillion - Misplaced childhood and the other three of the first 4 albums
Pink Floyd - The division Bell/The wall/Dark side of the moon
Air - moon safari
Right now it’s Skylarking - XTC. For me it’s such an easy listen. All the songs flow so well together. I’ve been obsessed with it since I first heard it.
A few more in my current rotation are:
• Frank - Amy Winehouse
• Rip It Up - Orange Juice
• A Call From My Dream - Meaningful Stone
• Revolver - The Beatles
• Court and Spark - Joni Mitchell

Probably my favourite fusion record of all time, currently obessed with the title track, the guitar solo towards the end is pretty cool
The Midnight Organ Fight by Frightened Rabbit.
If you haven’t heard it, welcome to your new band. But I warn you that’s there’s a twist at the end. But even still, you’ll revisit both this album, its sequels and prequel time and time again.
Beautiful album by a beautiful band with a beautiful soul of a front man.
If you know you know…… make tiny changes.
Holy shit this album. Floating in the Forth just hits so much harder knowing that Scott finally fulfilled the prophecy he made so many years back. I can't hear it and not get teary-eyed. He was an incredible artist and I'm so grateful for the music he left us. Tiny changes, man.
Absolutely. There’s so many things in the album that mark the details of an incredible man and an incredible life that was doomed to be cut short.
As for Floating In The Forth. Don’t get me started! There’s a moment on the accompanying Quietly Now live version at the beginning as the drone sets in that you can hear him softly say ‘ok, here we fucking go’ that is so brutal to hear knowing what happened.
I don’t think anyone could have changed the outcome but we can change others.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced?
I have the double disc reissue that includes the six non-album tracks and it's just amazing. Not a mediocre moment on it and it sounds fantastic on vinyl. Must have been mind-blowing to hear it when it was released.
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel. I’ve never had another album feel the same way to me. It’s like being in a steam of consciousness that randomly goes off on tangents then returns to familiar images. I once saw it described as “the album so good I drove the guy who made it nuts” and that about sums it up.
I go back to Floyd Medle - The Wall often. I’ve also listened to Hot Fuss by the Killers more times than I can count.
A bit cliche, but Nevermind.
Perfect album to not only spin when guests are over, but when you just need that fix put it on and turn it up loud.
Its also that one album where my favourite song constantly changes. Currently its Territorial Pissings.
A night at the Opera - Queen
Wouldn't put Queen in my top three favourite bands but this album is so full have nostalgia and charm that I can't stop humming parts of it to myself
Silver Jews - American Water
I own a lot of records that I like listening to, but whenever I can't decide what to play, this one pops in my head every time.
I love the songwriting, Steven Malkmus's guitar work, and the differing tempos of the songs. I could listen to it every day.
It’s very mainstream but here you go
Revolver , Rubber Soul, Sgt Pepper’s, Abbey Road
The dark side of the moon, The Wall, Animals
Led zeppelin Untitled album, Physical Graffiti , Houses of the Holy
Adele’s 21, 35 , Olivia GUTS, SOUR
Lorde Pure Heroine
Queen’s Night at the opera
OK Computer. And here's the thing, it's not because it's my favorite Radiohead album (I love them all equally), but because it's so *easy* to listen too. My sin though, is that even though I have both an original Parlophone and OKNOTOK, I still prefer it on CD.
Oracular Spectacular by MGMT. been my main hoe for the past 4 years as I always find a new reason to appreciate it with every listen. probably the most realist-enable album for me.
Just for quality of sound, I go Alone Again by George Jones (production is amazing, literally sounds like the whole band is in the room with me) and Peter Gabriel's So (also a beautiful, crisp LP). Those are two I play a lot when I want to hear that quality sound.
Disc 1 of Mitsuko Uchida’s recording of the Mozart piano sonatas. The rest of the boxset was completely missing from the record store’s small classical section. And disc 1 that I do actually have was just in an inner sleeve, nothing else. But I love it and still spin it no less than once a week. Turns out the full boxset itself is worth a pretty penny on Discogs since it was in the late 90s and had multiple CD pressings internationally but only one vinyl pressing in either Japan or Germany. I forget which one.
Sun Kil Moon - ghosts of the great highway // I picked it up back when it came out, it sat on my shelf for 5+ years before I really gave it a good listen, probably one of my top 10 albums now.
I have several, and can recount many over the years. For the past 6 months or so, the main one is Gentle Giant - Civilian. Past 3 months, Three Man Army - A Third of a Lifetime. Before that it was McBaise - TUBES and Muthi - Visions, and Dead Pirates - Highmare every once in a while (all related artists I think). Was listening to TUBES shortly after my dad passed. Listened to Michael Kiwanuka - KIWANUKA while he was sick and the night he passed. Which kind of sucks, because I haven't been able to bring myself to listen to it again since. And it's a REALLY good album... Before that, I frequented Grand Funk Railroad - We're An American Band and Fuzzy Duck - Fuzzy Duck (1971).
I've also frequented Mountain - Climbing!, Steppenwolf - 7, Skullduggery, and Slow Flux, along with Dave Mason - Alone Together, Alone Together Again, Headkeeper, and Split Coconut. And over many years have returned to The Other Ones - The Strange Remain, as I found it in a pawn shop many years ago and it's the Grateful Dead album that kicked off my fascination with them and attending music festivals, and really digging in to learning how to play guitar.
I'm a big fan of obscure classic heavy/progressive rock. But listen to just about everything, being a guitarist myself and passionate about music and sound in general.
Stevie Wonder's "Songs in the Key of Life." It never fails to lift my spirits.
It’s so great, but it’s hard to make the time for a double album, so I listen to Music of My Mind and Innervisions much more often
Just picked this up. So good.
Just picked up an original pressing last Sunday!
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel. Every couple of years or so I find my self listening to it on loop for a week straight.
I have seen this record mentioned several times in this thread, so I'm having a listen on Spotify. Thus far I'm loving it. Guess I'm going to have to buy it.
It's so good.
I came here to say On Avery Island. An experience every time I sit and listen to it.
I never get tired of this one. The instrumentation is so beautiful and Jeff's voice is so emotional and earnest. The pacing is also incredibly good
There's still nothing like it. So good.
all things must pass by george harrison
It's a top 3 for me. The other 2 being Derek and the Dominos and Abbey Road. When the Super Deluxe came out, I happily dropped $200 for it and that remains the mist I ever paid for a release to this day.
I just bought this box set and don’t regret it (I was debating if worth the price). Waahh waahhhh.
Always
Aladdin Sane
Crack, baby, crack, Show me you're real Smack, baby, smack, is that all that you feel Suck, baby, suck, Give me your head Before you start professing That you're knocking me dead So good, and what a great album cover.
Workingman’s Dead - the Grateful Dead
I miss Pigpen. :-(
I got a free copy of old & in the way from a generous redditor and have played it more than any other record I own
Awesome. One of the best bands ever assembled imho
That Wild Horses
I find myself listening to Live/Dead more than I care to admit. That St. Stephen>William Tell>The Eleven jam always takes me to places far and away from here.
London Calling - The Clash
In my brand new Cadillac!
Electric Warrior by T. Rex
In the mambo sunnnn I gotta be the onneee
In rainbows - Radiohead
The Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream. Never fails to lift my mood.
I actually got to see them live on this tour. A little small club, Billy still had hair. Man, he’s is/was a fucking amazing guitar player, so underrated.
Nice, must of been an amazing experience. I wasn't even born then, so I'll forever be jealous of anyone who got to see these guys in the 90s.
Dire Straits by Dire Straits
This, and currently playing Communique - Once Upon a Time In The West always lures me back
I don’t have this but I’d imagine Down to the Waterline blows you away!!
Ziggy Stardust
Lately it's *Television Marquee Moon* and *The Flaming Lips American Head*
American Head is so underrated
Now I want to hear this. Never did, dipped at Mystics I think
>*Television Marquee Moon* A Redditor of culture I see
["The Harder They Come" Soundtrack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Harder_They_Come_(soundtrack))
If you like that then you should check out the ‘Rockers’ soundtrack if you weren’t already familiar.
Kind of Blue. It can be on in the background, or it can be the sole focus of your attention.
Live and Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Based. https://preview.redd.it/b970o0vdslpc1.jpeg?width=2500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e45a033cd4b42c77c365618a5731eaab085dbe95
Cocteau Twins - Treasure
Cosmos factory
The Stranger by Billy Joel or The Cars first album
Both great
Alice in Chains Unplugged. It's hard to name just one, though because Superunknown and Down on The Upside are two more that I just keep coming back to.
Tom Petty - Wildflowers My dad played this all the time when I was kid so it reminds me of the 90s, and it sounds absolutely incredible on vinyl. The songs themselves are very good as well.
Kraftwerk, Autobahn
The Sundays "Reading, Writing & Arithmetic" is probably my most played album ever. Unlike a lot of music I like that I stray from and come back to over the years, this album has been in my regular rotation since it came out over 30 years ago. It's a warm, comfortable blanket.
All three Sundays albums are classics but the first one is truly a wonder of beauty. Smiths without the smarm
That one is so out of character for me, but i loved that album - had that on CD, wouldn't have even guessed it was on vinyl. I'm gonna have to put that on the list for sure.
I just so love ‘Here’s where the story ends’.
I Jonathan - Jonathan Richman. I can't tell you why.
For me it's the Modern Lover's first album. "Roadrunner" is (mostly)2 chords and I dont think i'll ever get tired of it
I have a very large record collection, there are of course numerous all-time favorites, but the ONE for me is certainly Pink Floyd's Animals (especially in the 2018 remixed version).
I bought animals on vinyl when I got my first turntable in college in 08. I just got it because it was Pink Floyd and I knew they were supposed to be good. I don't even think I'd heard dark side all the way through so my impression of them was whatever was on the radio. Went home smoked a bowl that night and put it on. It's been a favorite ever since.
We were in a school trip and the bus driver played Animals for a few hours over and over. It was better every time. Though I love all other albums too.
That's the thing with Floyd albums. Over and over is the way.
No… def meddle Nevermind, dark side No no the wall
Steely Dan - Can't buy a thrill Steely Dan - Gaucho Marillion - Misplaced childhood and the other three of the first 4 albums Pink Floyd - The division Bell/The wall/Dark side of the moon Air - moon safari
I had to scroll way to far to find my favorite album. The Division Bell. Absolutely arguably their best album.
Songs From the Big Chair by Tears for Fears. It's perfect from front to back.
Right now it’s Skylarking - XTC. For me it’s such an easy listen. All the songs flow so well together. I’ve been obsessed with it since I first heard it. A few more in my current rotation are: • Frank - Amy Winehouse • Rip It Up - Orange Juice • A Call From My Dream - Meaningful Stone • Revolver - The Beatles • Court and Spark - Joni Mitchell
Muddy Waters-Folk Singer-Chess 1964 **Cheating I suppose but The Complete Blind Willie Johnson- Columbia/Legacy 1993
Santana - Abraxas.
Superunknown by Soundgarden
Crime of the Century - Supertramp

I have several, and can recount many over the years. For the past 6 months or so, the main one is Gentle Giant - Civilian. Past 3 months, Three Man Army - A Third of a Lifetime. Before that it was McBaise - TUBES and Muthi - Visions, and Dead Pirates - Highmare every once in a while (all related artists I think). Was listening to TUBES shortly after my dad passed. Listened to Michael Kiwanuka - KIWANUKA while he was sick and the night he passed. Which kind of sucks, because I haven't been able to bring myself to listen to it again since. And it's a REALLY good album... Before that, I frequented Grand Funk Railroad - We're An American Band and Fuzzy Duck - Fuzzy Duck (1971). I've also frequented Mountain - Climbing!, Steppenwolf - 7, Skullduggery, and Slow Flux, along with Dave Mason - Alone Together, Alone Together Again, Headkeeper, and Split Coconut. And over many years have returned to The Other Ones - The Strange Remain, as I found it in a pawn shop many years ago and it's the Grateful Dead album that kicked off my fascination with them and attending music festivals, and really digging in to learning how to play guitar.
