worst sounding great lps

Great to see the distinction made between the sound and the music; and, the idea that an album can be great even if it suffers from questionable sound. Questionable because I think it's important to remember (in keeping with the above comment) that in some cases the sound is a deliberate choice as an expression of the artist's aesthetic; in general or for that particular record. Crappy sound by audiophile standards is not always a result of bad production and can in some cases be another dimension of the music; like it or not.

MB days of future passed...innovative production, strings, etc...but very veiled, murky results.

I have a first pressing vinyl of Foreigner and it sounds great.
