Must have albums

[Anthony]

The new SACD 2011 release of Pink Floyd - 'Wish You Were Here'

is a masterpiece and essential for all music lovers with decent Hi-Fi systems. The music quality & sound engineering are brilliant.

I put this on for visitors - Track 5 is enough to leave them speechless and overwhelmed with the quality of very special sound they just experienced.

All time favourite album is 80's UK band the Buzzcocks - 'A different kind of Tension' (remastered one is the way to go).
Fast quality rock, slight punk influence, not heavy, many great tracks the whole way thru. Solid workout for your poweramp.

LOL; at my own forum, I have a G.O.A.T. thread. In it, I specifically state "no weak-a** sh*t in here"...lol. That thread is for the best of the best; albums that changed the face of music, in the opinion of the poster.

I guess I scared everyone off; I'm the only one who's posted there. Of course, there's a LOT of albums that fall into that second tier; great albums...just not quite in the best of all-time category. So I created a thread for those, called Best Of The Rest.

Here are some of my choices so far (in no particular order, of course):

G.O.A.T.

Neil Young-Harvest
Van Morrison-Astral Weeks
David Bowie-Ziggy Stardust
Pink Floyd-DSOTM
Bob Dylan-Blonde On Blonde

See what I mean; if you're gonna put yourself in that company, you really better bring it...lol. Now...the Best Of The Rest; these are still really, really...really good albums. They probably slay 99.9% of everything else out there (IMHO of course); just comparatively, not quite in that first group.

B.O.T.R.

The Cars-The Cars
Wilco-Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Fleetwood Mac-Tusk (I know...but I think it's under-appreciated)
The Pixies-Surfer Rosa (talk about changing the shape of music; just misses the top group IMO)
Prince-1999

And I'd have no problem putting Radiohead's OK Computer on my 2nd-tier list (I personally like The Bends even better...it's just probably not as "revolutionary").

Good picks!
