Wow an old album that rocked your world


I know this is a Hifi forum but isn’t it about the music as well. Has anyone recently played a
Vinyl, disc or whatever you are into. One that you forgot was so good and totally was blown away by the music and the recording? If so share it with us. Mine was Mahavishnu orchestra Birds of Fire. Have not listened to that for some time. Wow. FORGOT HOW GOOD THAT WAS. 
This is what Hifi is all about IMO.

Here’s a few of those obscure ones:

Wild Thing, NOT by The Trogs that everybody knows, you have to find the version by Fancy. I was 14, need anything else be said?

Low Spark of High Heeled Boys by Traffic

Back in the day, Flat as a Pancake by Head East

One time, absolutely blasting Foghat LIVE, somehow I heard the doorbell ring (?), so I open the door and this music just explodes out of the house. :)

Speaking of playing until "The Record Eater" was finished eating,
REO Speedwagon Live: You Get What You Play For. Really all four sides of the double-album. I don’t even need the record to hear, "The epic performing artists, REO Speedwagon!"

Of course, The Who Who’s Next, Side 2 (of course), where part of the thrill was listening to those songs in order, each one better than the next, finally Behind Blue Eyes (an underrated masterpiece) finishes, the pause between tracks, and then it starts, Won’t Get Fooled Again. That’s what is missing when you don’t play records. The other thing that purists would be upset with, there were some imperfections/snaps right there at the beginning of the song, but now if I don’t hear those it just doesn’t sound right.
  Rock your world?

  Put on these three records (any order):

 Red- King Crimson.
 Frumpy 2 -Frumpy.
 Hot Rats- Zappa.

  You'll need a shower afterwards.
Who’s Next - The Who

Not Fragile - Bachman Turner Overdrive

Montrose - Ronnie Montrose


As this thread progressed, it went from "an album" to "a list of albums" to "49 albums."  Always happens.

The Velvet Underground & Nico.

After the first two The Band albums, the next two albums that changed my life were:

Dave Edmunds: Get It

The Dwight Twilley Band: Sincerely

Both Dave and Dwight (along with partner/drummer/singer Phil Seymour and guitarist Bill Pitcock IV, both now deceased) drew from the Rock 'n' Roll of the 50's and the Pop of the early 60's. Dave's first half dozen albums are fantastic, as are The Twilley Band's only two (Phil left after no.2 for a solo career).
