Layla and Other Assorted Love SongsLayla and Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek and the Dominos
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $5.72
One of the best albums ever recorded. Duane Allman's slide on the title track is masterful!

Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $10.50
Ekoostik Hookah is a great band. I love listening to their stuff, it's really incredible.
The Deep End, Vol. 1The Deep End, Vol. 1 by Gov't Mule

Ya gotta love Mule! Warren Haynes is genius, and everything he plays is so tasty. I love this CD.
American BeautyAmerican Beauty by Grateful Dead
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $0.85
Grateful Dead. 'nuff said.
Head HuntersHead Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $2.88
Herbie is great. Chameleon is the grooviest song. I love this stuff.
Introducing the Eleventh House with Larry CoryellIntroducing the Eleventh House with Larry Coryell by The Eleventh House
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $6.09
I love Larry. This guy is one of the inventors of fusion, and he is a major inspiration for me.
Great Sky RiverGreat Sky River by Jazz Is Dead
Buy new: $10.98 / Used from: $7.99
YEAH! This is so good! Grateful Dead covers like you wouldn't believe, and Jimmy Herring is just so cool.
Trey AnastasioTrey Anastasio by Trey Anastasio
Buy new: $18.98 / Used from: $1.63
Since I got this CD it's basically been the only thing I listen to when I drive. It's a lot different than Phish, and I actually prefer it. Phish had their highlights, but this is truly incredible.
Blow by BlowBlow by Blow by Jeff Beck
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $3.50
Jeff Beck's "Blow by Blow" is really funky and great. His covers of 'She's a Woman' and 'Cause we've ended as Lovers' are incredible.
ÜberjamÜberjam by The John Scofield Band
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $4.79
This is guitar like you wouldn't believe! John Scofield's "Uberjam" is probably my favorite CD. His grooves are incredibly funky, and his guitar is the tastiest tone I've ever heard. GET IT!
Houses of the HolyHouses of the Holy by Led Zeppelin
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $5.69
While many would say VI or II are their best, and I do agree those are masterpieces, I think that HOTH is the best thing they have ever done. Rain Song, Song Remains the Same, and The Ocean! YEA!
Letter from HomeLetter from Home by Pat Metheny Group
Buy used from: $1.79
Great disc, his sense of jazz guitar is mind-boggling.
Live at the QuickLive at the Quick by Béla Fleck & the Flecktones
Buy used from: $1.69
If you can get this album... get it. Bela is an amazing banjo player, and If you've ever heard anyone play bass better than Vic, email me. I dare you to find a better bassist.
Revolver [UK]Revolver [UK] by The Beatles
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $2.49
What would life be like without the Beatles? This is my favorite of all the Beatles CD's. George Harrison has become an inspiration to me as far as recording and phrasing.
CarnivalCarnival by Moke
Buy used from: $0.14
I like the way that this band is catchy and effective. Great songs.
A String Cheese IncidentA String Cheese Incident by The String Cheese Incident
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $7.25
I love these guys! They are really fun to listen to and great for driving.
AnimalsAnimals by Pink Floyd
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.00
How does one pick only one Floyd album? Well I've done it, and I think that Animals is the most ambitions thing that Pink Floyd has ever done. Truly genius!
Chants Of India: Ravi Shankar; George HarrisonChants Of India: Ravi Shankar; George Harrison by Ravi Shankar
Buy used from: $20.00
I love this music. Ravi Shankar is a sitar genius, and this stuff is *excellent* to listen to when you're... lighting up.
Blizzard of OzBlizzard of Oz by Ozzy Osbourne
Buy used from: $4.03
YEAH!! Ozzy Osbourne is really cool on this one, and Randy Rhoads just RIPS! I love this stuff. So much!
The Number of the BeastThe Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $8.68
Now that we're on the topic of hidden pleasures, Iron Maiden is the coolest band. I really love the fact that they can shred like animals, and everything is soo tasty. Great album!
FragileFragile by Yes
Buy used from: $2.98
Yes is really cool. Steve Howe puts together these great arrangements that really rock. And how much better does it get than 'Roundabout'?
There's a Riot Goin' OnThere's a Riot Goin' On by Sly & the Family Stone
Buy used from: $2.00
God I love this album. It's genius, and Sly Stone's funky music is a force to be reckoned with. As much as I love 'Stand', this is much deeper and better music.
In the Flesh LiveIn the Flesh Live by Roger Waters
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $6.94
Pink Floyd is truly great. Although they never released a formal live album, this is so close. Waters and his band really play these songs with passion, and I love them. A lot.
Jimi Hendrix : Live at WoodstockJimi Hendrix : Live at Woodstock by The Gypsy Suns and Rainbows
Buy new: $19.98 / Used from: $7.99
Jimi rules. I would not be here without Jimi. This album is truly incredible, the spontaneity of Jimi's live shows is very apparent in this incredible set.
Bitches BrewBitches Brew by Miles Davis
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $7.22
Ending with the roots of all great music- jazz. No other jazz album is as crucial to fusion than this one in my opinion. True genius.
