|
 | My Generation (Dlx) (Dig) by Who
Buy new: $29.98 / Used from: $11.20 No album better captures the wild, guitar-smashing, amp-blowing energy that is the Who. Some great music here.

 | Catch A Fire (Deluxe Edition) by Bob Marley & The Wailers

|
 | Malo by Malo
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $21.51 Another unheard of latin rock outfit formed by Jorge Santana who creatively betters his brother in nearly every aspect. You'll find this touching, thrilling, and very energetic.
|
 | At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band

 | Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $4.44 Of course the essential Pink Floyd. Avoid the slew of remasters, rereleases, repackagings, and rewhateverings and just get the album in its pure, untampered state.
|
 | Blind Faith by Blind Faith
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.90 The lone album by the shortlived supergroup of Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, Steve Winwood, and Rick Gretch. Still a classic though, Blind Faith's psychedellic blues approach is too unique to be topped.

|
 | Something Else by the Kinks by The Kinks
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $5.99 Perhaps not the most famous, but strongest Kinks album. Ray Davies' writing is as strong as ever and the band proves itself capable of some beautiful musicianship as well as traditional Kinks raunch.
|
 | Fragile by Yes
Buy used from: $2.98 The best prog-rock act ever. Steve Howe and Chris Squire's phenomenal guitar playing is highlighted on the longer tracks. The first Yes album with Rick Wakeman on keys.
|
 | Stand! by Sly & the Family Stone
Buy used from: $3.89 The best album recorded by Mr. Stewart and company. By far the most positive, energetic album ever. Complete with funky horns and wailing vocal.
|
 | Climbing! by Mountain
Buy used from: $2.64 Nobobdy ever pays any attention to Leslie West but he is quite the guitarist. Felix Papalardi (producer of Cream) is the bassist for this band, this features many of the band's classics. Reccomended.
