Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are?


No opera or rap in the three must haves. Sorry.

I’m ashamed I didn’t remember the 1st Moody Blues album, when they were a Piano Based Blues Band with Denny Laine singing. Many are aware of the Justin Hayward Era, but this is how they came to fame.

Moody Blues, Go Now,

The Piano benefits most from the Tape Format.

btw, I'll Go Crazy was written by James Brown, here, 1960, with the Famous Flames

You should also mention to the OP that an original, genuine pressing of Tool's "Aenima" will run at least $1000.  There are many, many bootleged versions, but very few genuine articles.  

Russ Barenberg - Moving Pictures
Paul Simon - Graceland
Al Stewart - Time Passages
Kim Richey - Edgeland
Dreadful Snakes - Snakes Alive!
Jesse Winchester - Humour Me
Sheffield Labs - The Moscow Sessions
Donald Johanos / Athena - Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances Vocalise

Not sure how relevant that is, as the same could be said for an "original, genuine pressing" of Kind of Blue, Pet Sounds, Allman Bros. at the Fillmore East, Blue Train, etc. As there was no reference to cost in the question and there are always avenues for finding good bargains on anything if one is diligent.
