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


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

These threads are always a great source for music you haven't heard although i'd probably err on the side of streaming many before buying a vinyl version.  Also obvious is that few here can confine it to three but i'll do my best:

1. Allman Bros--Live at Fillmore East--many recommendations on this one

2. Santana- Abraxas--played this one frequently at my student apartment in France in 1974 and my landlady next door begged to know what it was--i went and bought it for her and then got to listen to it through the walls nearly every night for a year--she told me it saved her marriage 😀 

3. Little Feat--Waiting for Columbus--IMO best live album ever recorded

The Allman Brothers Band - Fillmore East

The Clash - London Calling

Led Zeppelin - Houses Of The Holy

 

Hellbound Train-Savoy Brown

Rock n Roll Music to the World-Ten Years After

Rides Again-James Gang

 

just to offer some new flavor. Many more already named. How can you not love these discussions?

These are the three I HAVE to have, due to their sonics and sheer musicality.

 

John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman

Supersax Plays Bird

Just For A Thrill (Weslia Whitfield - a little rare, hard to find, but worth it)
   Here's a rip from vinyl.

1. SGT Pepper
2. Thunder Road - Springsteen
3. Live at Blues Alley - Eva Cassidy
4. Who's Next - The Who
5. Crack The Sky - Crack The Sky
