Read my prior post, Mr Vertinsky in case you’ve missed being very busy about Vertinsky plz. To that one if I add all albums of FSOL and all albums of The Necks I'll get almost 100 extremely desired ones.
100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie
This thread was inspired by this thread:
https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/building-a-100-album-vinyl-collection-3-must-have-albums-are
Please add to the above list. Thanks!
Okay, here is my premise for this:
I find an very odd, really old record in the $.99 cent bin in the back corner of some old, dusty record store. I pull the LP from the sleeve and a Genie appears. He says I can have any equipment/gear I want. Speakers, amp, preamp, etc. Just name it, (mbl Master Reference System and a custom room for it please.)...
...but, I can only have 100 albums forever to play on it. No "Best Of" or "Greatest Hits". No Box Sets or Compilations. Soundtracks are fine if original score, no Compilations. Double and Triple LP’s count as one album. (This Genie was very detailed in his instructions. He kinda looked like Donald Fagen).
What 100 albums would they be?
(I know I fudged on a rule or two, on a few of mine).

This is just for fun. I found a ton of albums off the thread, listed at the top, that I had forgot about. Was hoping to find even more. If you want to participate, cool! If not, please don’t.
I’m by no means expecting everyone to add a list of 100 titles. I thought it was a blast, but did take some time. I've also had a blast going back and relistening to a lot of these. Man, I sure missed them.
Play if you want...
(This is by no means a final, definitive list. Probably hundreds of more albums await...)

Last night we went to an ACL Live (taped for eventual broadcast) performance by FLOR DE TOLOACHE, a Latin based duo with an extremely deft band. Trumpet, several guitars and two lead singers who switched off between violin and flute, among other instruments. Powerful voices. I have zero background in mariachi music, but I took it in; the most stunning moment for me was a piece where the group was joined by the guitarist/producer of Black Pumas. He added a different dimension- playing a Telecaster--beautiful fills, slight psych rock tinges. For me, it's all an adventure of discovery. My tastes vary, depending on mood and the more I've been exposed, the more I can enjoy something that I would have regarded as cacophony or simply strange. I don't have the time to make a list of 100 right now (power to those who did). And I'd probably change my mind a few times, the more I thought about it.

Very interesting suggestions... Especially about the japanese jazz scene... I did not remember your very first posting as you said i was busy answering ... 😊
Then instead of throwing sarcasm ....because i suggested mine with my own takes in many posts i like saying why i picked them , anything interesting to say about music in the japan jazz scene? I like it too because japan musician seems to plays with a soul of their own... I listened a lot of them in the last year... Anyone less well known i must listen to ?
By the way i never answered a poster here by insults or sarcasm ONLY and MERELY WITHOUT arguments about the thread matter... It is my habit to discuss with arguments about a question... Mere sarcasm about people is useless if there is no meat around the bones...I prefer to gave positive opinion about people than the reverse...But i answer to those who prefer the opposite...😊 Why not using our brain with our mouth... I am not Mr. Vertinsky...I admired him and like this photo expressing distress,sadness, but resilience in this world... Clowns are professionals... OH! yes my ego is there too much sometimes, but if you trail me you will discover that i try to gave more positive than negative to people... In the meantime thanks in advance for a recommendation about the jazz japan musical scene...
