For me its the first or very early LP's of: Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South" Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer" and, Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
@slaw - I finally got around to checking out Sarah Shook & The Disarmers - "Sidelong". I have mixed feelings about it. I think it could have been seriously EXCELLENT. However Sarah seems to be enamored with squeaking/squealing at the end of too many notes and also doing some kind of weird rat-a-tat-tat/warble thing at the end of some words. I don't know why she feels the need to do those things so often. They are distracting IMO and the songs would be much better without those embellishments. Get rid of those distractions and I would give it an A+. However, the vocal distractions drop it down to "novelty act" for me.

@reubent , I noticed what you're talking about but I'm just not bothered by it. I've noticed the same thing with Brandi Carlisle as well, to a lesser degree. I think it makes them even more unique as an artist.
