What are some records that you feel are ‘essential’ to your collection (and you would replace if broken/worn out), that you would recommend to others without a second thought?
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Deltron 3030 Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Wilco!
I’ll be super lame and give some ‘obvious’ ones:
- Beatles - Revolver
- Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
- Michael Jackson - Off the Wall
- Paul Simon - Graceland
Massive Attack - Mezzanine
Pink Floyd - DSOTM
Tash Saltana - Flow State
Sphongle - Are You Sphongled
- King Gizzard | Fishing For Fishies
- Shakarchi and Stranéus | Steal Chickens From Men And The Future From God
- Digable Planets | Blowout Comb
- Crosby, Stills, and Nash | CSN
- Tame Impala | Lonerism
Truth be told least 50 I would try to replace immediately if I had any damage or excessive wear.
The Clash - London Calling
The Pink Fairies - Never Never Land (The album ends at Dream Is Just Beginning, the rest are bonus tracks)
Modest Mouse - Lonesome Crowded West
The Chills - Submarine Bells
Miles Davis - kind of blue
Darkside - psychic
The black Keys - chulahoma
Submerse - algorithms and ghosts
(Sentimentally) the Waterboys - fisherman’s blues
- Dave Brubeck - Time Out
- Marcy Playground - s/t
- Elliott Smith - Either/Or
- Jack Johnson - Brushfire Fairy tales
These are some of my most often played records from my collection. Leaving out my entire Pearl Jam collection for brevity and coolness.
That’s quite the spectrum of genres, awesome!
- Prince - Purple Rain
- Over the Rhine - Trumpet Child
- Flaming Lips - At War With the Mystics
- Massive Attack - Mezzanine
- Glass Animals - Zaba
Tons more though.
