the albums everybody had
 

in the days of vinyl .. there were a few albums that everybody had. Since i still collect vinyl, people are always giving me their record collections and there are a few titles i have 6 copies of each as a result.

Here are the ones from my time :


Fleetwood Mac - Rumors
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Peter Framton - Frampton Comes Alive
Supertramp - Crime of the Century
Supertramp - Crisis What Crisis
Carol King - Tapestries
Led Zepplin - IV
Steve Miller Band - Book Of Dreams
The Eagles - Hotel California


i know there's more ..

I'm not talking personal favorites .. just the albums everyone had ..


thanks to mothman ..


Rolling Stones - Some Girls

well, the first stuff that I ever stated listening to was the Rolling Stones. (Hell yes) they are still great. Then I got into Van Halen and other classic stuff.
so my first album ever (It was a cassette) was
Rolling Stones: High Tides And Green Grass

Ha ha.

Bit before my time this but my dads got a few classics.

Rumours is def my fave. He's also got Houses of the Holy.

The thing that scared the shit out of me when I was a sprog was the start of the thriller album with the bloke laughin.

Houses of the Holy is my favorite LZ album ever ...
I almost put down Thriller in the list ... but not everyone had that one .. at least no one i hung with.



Kiss - Destroyer is another one though ..


and Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies

Jump!!!

Ha ha.

This is really bringing the old farts into the picture.

The only vinyl record I have is AC/DC's Back in Black.

I didn't buy it, and I don't listen to it because vinyl quality is like someone playing you a song over the phone.

ack ! not at all .... it depends on the quality of your equipment and how well kept the vinyl is.

There are audiophiles who can argue that technically vinyl is better but i dont get into all of that.
A scratched album can sound like shit - true ...
but i have a thorens turntable and an empire stylus and my albums are pretty much mint .. they still sound crisp and clean ...

not as convenient as CD though ..

When I play it it's all crackly and shit. :(

I had Samantha Fox and Madona. Two sluts one stereo.
