what do you like?

What's one of your favorite kick-ass albums of all time? Well, I ask this because I just got 15$ to spend and need a new CD to listen to. All of mine I have just played again and again and again... if I hear Dark Side of the Moon or Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band again I'm going to have to pull my hair out. I love my collection, but I've just heard it too many times!

So, any recommendations for your favorite albums, or favorite artists?

Yeah, I realize there are about three or four of these threads already created, but I'm selfish.
turn me on to something good, people!

 

Well I was gonna reccommend some stuff by Pink Floyd and The Beatles, but 2 great albums that I've been listening to all day today:

Live in 1975(Pt. 5 of the bootleg serries)-Bob Dylan

Dedication: The Best of Thin Lizzy-Thin Lizzy

also
Amused to Death-Roger Waters

 

Katie... how many times do I have to tell you!?!? TOMMY! That's all you need to know!


Actually, more seriously... you should get The Who's 1966 album A Quick One. You NEED it! If you're going to have Roger in your sig, you need some more WHO!

Some others you should check out...

The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico
The Yardbirds - Roger the Engineer
Pink Floyd - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (This would be an interesting change; totally different from Dark Side)
The Rolling Stones - Their Satanic Majesties Request
Cream - Fresh Cream
Cream - Disraeli Gears
Jethro Tull - Aqualung
Syd Barrett - The Madcap Laughs

All good stuff there, but you should definitely get A Quick One if you ask me.
