Must be my brother from a different mother .... only vinyl list I have EVER seen where I own each of the listed titles ..... must be dating myself .....

 

[Downhome Upstate]

Hey, Tubejack. Aged a bit we may be, but we ain't dead yet, brother. 

You being down in the Republic of Tejas, how about some Stevie Ray, the Fabulous T-Birds, Joe Ely (just picked up 'Down on the Drag')  Guy Clark or Steve Forbert?  (I'm not really a Townes Van Zant fan, although I love some of the songs he wrote.)  Steve Earle went and came up here to NYC.

I only made it to one Willie and the Family Band concert, at Town Lake in Austin. Had to boogie when the folks behind us started throwing (full) beer cans for the hell of it . . . I feel bad that I completely missed the shows at the Armadillo. It was shut down about the time I got to Austin.

 

[BNAL]

Got my girls involved in the hunt for vinyl. 

 

[Grainger49]

Brad,

No one is going to comment on that picture of your daughters.

 

[JamieMcC]

Hang your heads in shame 2000 plus hits and an Englishman adds The Velvet Underground/Lou Reed and The Doors to the list! 

 

[Alonzo]

Some suggestions seeing that I just started back listening to vinyl.  Here's what I grabbed off the shelf to break in the Debut:
Raising Sand Plant/Krause
Imagine Project:  HHancock
God Willin & The Creek don't Rise
Four MF's Playin Tunes: B Marsalis Quartet
How I got over: The Roots
Oscar Peterson Trio + One
Getz Au go go
The Telluride Sessions: Strength in Numbers (just for "One Winter's Night", the rest of the album is aiight but doesn't compare to that one song)
Couldn't Stand the Weather; SRV
Most Kenny Burrell

 

[Grainger49]

Bought a 180g Astral Weeks.  This is becoming a favorite LP quickly. 

I'd recommend it since it isn't very expensive.

 

[JamieMcC]

I had been thinking about buying the Diana Krall Live in Paris LP, the CD is wonderful I remember looking at a it a little while back I nearly fell of my chair when I saw the price being asked for a copy now, the price seems to have shot up astronomically over the last year!

 

[Downhome Upstate]

For classic jazz lp's, new or used NM copies of the OJC re-issues can be had for cheap.

 

[xcortes]

The ojcs are very fair priced new. And most if them sound very nice.

Xavier,

Given your rig, that's high praise.

[Reap]

Be careful what you ask for. Here are a few albums that I would go for:

  Pink Floyd, DOSTM
  Supertramp Breakfast in America
  Sting, Dream of the blue turtles
  AC/DC, Bat out of Hell
  Synergy, Chords
  Fleetwood Mac, Rumors
 

  Bach, Organ music
  Beetoven, Sym #5
  Tycophsky, The Firebird
  Soundtrack from The Pianist


  Because of a major BRAIN FART, that's all I got for now.

That's pretty interesting. I didn't know some of those albums even existed - AC/DC, Bat out of Hell? Tycophsky, The Firebird? And what exactly is a beet oven?

Sounds like someone's been letting their meatloaf.

 

[Yoder]

Stones, Beggars Banquet, Exile on Mail Street, Their Satanic Majesties Request
Tom Rush, Ladies Love Outlaws
Jefferson Starship, Blows Against the Empire
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Will The Circle Be Unbroken
Taj Mahal, Giant Step
Little Feat, Dixie Chicken
Marshall Tucker Band, The Marshall Tucker Band
Joni Mitchell, Blue, Court and Spark, The Hissing of Summer Lawns
Carole King, Tapestry
James Taylor, Sweet Baby James
Simon & Garfunkel, Bridge Across Troubled Water
Bob Dylan, Nashville Skyline, The Freewhelin' Bob Dylan, Basement Tapes (with The Band)
Emmy Lou Harris, Pieces of the Sky

Stevie Wonder, Songs in the Key of Life
Marvin Gaye, What's Goin' On

I like your tastes, and would add the following:
Airplane/Kanter and Slick: Sunfighter and Baron Von Tollboth and the Chrome Nun (both were made around the same time as Blows Against and have the same musicians playing (Garcia, Freiberg, Crosby, Nash, etc.) I listened to Blows and Baron today while working out.
David Crosby: If I Could Only Remember My Name.
Jorma Kaukonen: Qua
Bob Dylan: Blood on the Tracks (MOFI)
Quicksilver Messanger Service: Shady Grove and their first self-titled LP.

Sorry if I repeated anything Grainger posted (if I remember correctly he likes MOFI), but I cannot read the tiny blue text...nothing subtle about the hint! 

 

[Grainger49]

The blue text has been mentioned.  But with 5,000 posts I haven't had time to convert them all to lime green.  I will go up and change mine in this thread.

Hey, I can read you posts now. Don't make all of the changes for my sake.

A few weeks ago I purchased the 24/192 version of Astral Weeks. Must admit that I am equally moved by it.

Paul Joppa said that the Lime Green didn't work for quotes. When you quote, you can change the color yourself.  My original limegreen popped up and I changed it:
