|
 | Abbey Road by The Beatles
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $7.50 The white album is also amazing but after much thought, Abbey Road stands as my favorite... This is the best album to use as a Beatles introduction
|
 | Blazing Arrow by Blackalicious
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $3.98 This album may not be considered groundbreaking and timeless by some... but it is some of the most creative hip hop I have heard
|
 | Survival by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Buy used from: $3.43 My favorite Bob Marley album
|
 | Electro-Shock Blues by Eels
Buy new: $7.97 / Used from: $2.00 Really close to being a desert album even though their are some songs I don't like... all in all, I consider this Eel's masterpiece
|
 | Yanqui U.X.O. by Godspeed You Black Emperor
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $6.00 An amazing album. The first song is good enough to be the only song on the album.
|
 | Wake of the Flood by Grateful Dead
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $9.75 Their best studio album... whoever says the Dead doesn't make good studio albums doesn't know what their talking about. This album mixes old timey, bluesy music with strings to give it an almost psychedelic country sound
|
 | Maiden Voyage by Herbie Hancock
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $6.99 One of the great jazz albums... own it
|
 | Takin' Off by Herbie Hancock
Buy new: $8.97 / Used from: $5.55 Another jazz great...
|
 | Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Buy used from: $27.99 The BEST funk album EVER, period, hands down, no questions asked, no argument. Sly and the Family Stone, Parliment and every other funk album is just following in the footsteps of this absolutely groundbreaking and timeless album. OWN THIS ALBUM IF YOU DO NOT ALREADY!!! IT'S A TRUE CLASSIC!!!
|
 | Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Buy new: $20.99 / Used from: $9.95 The first fusion album ever... Miles Davis turned down a chance to play at Woodstock because he was busy creating a new form a music and Bitch's Brew was the result. You can't quite call it jazz or funk or rock, it's a little of everything with some trippy "space jazz" in between
|
 | Complete In a Silent Way Sessions by Miles Davis
Buy used from: $39.95 The album itself is timeless but the Complete Studio Recordings contain some amazingly awesome songs that you really must own. The only draw back is that some of the songs are already on a couple of his other albums, so it is kind of a rip off
|
 | Kind of Blue by Miles Davis
Buy new: $8.97 / Used from: $3.48 Without a doubt, the BEST jazz album ever... Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evens, Paul Chambers, Cannonball Adderly all on one album... enough said?
If you don't know of much good jazz and you want a GREAT place to start... then start here
|

|
 | It's a Wonderful Life by Sparklehorse
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $4.84 My favorite Sparklehorse album. This would have to be one of my time ten favorites of all time. Their are a few songs that seem to break it's flow but that is sort of sparklehorse's style. A good autumn album
|

Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $8.54 Awesome album all the way through

Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $6.93 |
 | Lateralus by Tool
Buy used from: $7.35 The best metal album ever... and it's even a little hard calling it metal but that's really what it breaks down too. If you take Pink Floyd and mix it with metal, this is what you get.
|
 | Quebec by Ween
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $6.24 Ween's best album... It has everything from head banger hard rock, to silly swing music, to tripped out tunes to just plain epics... love this album
