 | Bach: Partitas Nos. 2, 4, 5
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $8.66 Next to Gould and Perahia, Richard Goode is my favorite interpreter of Bach's keyboard works.
|
 | Bach: Complete Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $14.36 One of the most brilliant examples of how beautiful solo violin can be.
|
 | Pierre Boulez: Trois Sonates pour piano
Buy used from: $50.00 My favorite 20th century piano pieces.
|
 | Blood on the Tracks by Bob Dylan
Buy used from: $1.26 My all-time favorite Dylan album...not a weak track on the whole disc.

|
![Illumination [Limited Edition w/ Bonus DVD]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31CZD4KC4KL._SL75_.jpg) | Illumination [Limited Edition w/ Bonus DVD] by Paul Weller
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $1.88 A very, very nice album. Weller strikes again.
|
 | Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Buy new: $17.98 / Used from: $2.29 If I had to choose my favorite Weller album (a difficult task indeed), this would be the one. A warm, gorgeous collection of songs.
|
 | In Through the Out Door by Led Zeppelin
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $3.50 Rediscovering my childhood as of late. They seemed to be streamlining their sound a bit with this one. "Fool in the Rain" is one of my favorite Zeppelin songs.
|
 | Queen II by Queen
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $5.45 Talk about rediscovering childhood! I bought this on vinyl at age 10. One of the great undiscovered prog gems of the 70s.
|
 | Contemporary Jazz by Branford Marsalis
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $1.38 Branford can do no wrong. Simply amazing.
|
 | Monteverdi - Madrigali guerrieri et amorosi / Rooley, The Consort of Musicke by Claudio Monteverdi

|
 | That Gerson Person by Roy Gerson
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $6.99 Some of the most daring classical music you'll ever hear. Boulez and Messiaen make for a deadly combination.
|
 | A State of Wonder: The Complete Goldberg Variations (1955 & 1981) by Johann Sebastian Bach
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $9.99 Speaking of great combinations...how about Gould and Bach? Unbelievable.
|

Buy new: $17.98 / Used from: $5.99 You haven't lived until you've heard Sibelius' violin concerto.
|
 | The Jam - Greatest Hits by The Jam
Buy used from: $3.00 One of the very best bands of the 70s. Weller and company simply explode.
|
 | Confessions of St. Ace by John Wesley Harding
Buy used from: $0.01 One of the great undiscovered singer-songwriters. Criminally underrated. Power pop meets folk.
|
 | Almost Blue by Elvis Costello
Buy used from: $4.70 Elvis' country covers album often gets a bad rap. I don't know why. Ryko's bonus tracks are excellent.
|
 | Sheer Heart Attack by Queen
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $6.47 One of their best. I can't imagine why they kept making albums past 1979. This is the good stuff.
