Old, beat-up recordings you still love.

I find as my system keeps getting better that I also look for better sounding recordings. Often times these new recordings take priority over older favorites that I don't remember sounding as good as the new purchases.

Recently I dug some of those old favorites out and gave them a spin. The sound was not great, but the nostalgic factor rated pretty darn high. They took me back to highschool and college!

Since I was raised on AOR radio my favorites will reflect this, but what are some of your old favorites that you listen to not for the incredible sound quality, but because you really enjoy these old recordings?

Mine consisted of:
Jethro Tull 'Songs from the Wood'
Yes "Fragile'
Supertramp 'Crime of the Century'
Meatloaf 'Bat Out of Hell'

I was at the Rock and Roll hall of Fame a few days ago and really enjoyed the Mahalia Jackson and Howlin' Wolf they played on the tour.

I know there's a lot of great old stuff out there that might not sound great but is still fun to hear. What do you suggest???
