If you could only keep 5 Lp vinyl from your record collection which ones would you keep? and why
I'm seeing a few selling there vinyl collection claiming some 6000 lp in there collection, I think it would be interesting if they were to keep a few favorites, which ones would they be. any catagory
Beatles: Abbey Road Allman Bros: Live at The Fillmore Miles Davis: Kind of Blue Joni Mitchell: Blue Jeff Beck: Guitar Shop (groove on the cool album cover while listening to the music)
WOW, lots of good album here that i haven't put on in years. I will put some on this weekend. My collection is somewhat small approx. 2000 LP's Jazz is really my thing so here it goes:
Miles (Kind of Blue) Duke Ellington (Jazz Party in Stereo) Patricia Barber (Cafe Blue 45rpm) Billie Holiday (Lady in Satin) Not recommended if you are on suicide watch. John Coltrane (Blue Train) And for the non Jazz in me: Alyson Krauss (Forget about it)
I only have 3,000 LPs so my task is MUCH easier than Elizabeth's. While jazz is my overall favorite category, I must choose for variety. And that means samplings from several styles:
*Miles -- Kind of Blue (this would be #1 no matter how many I got to choose) *Brubeck Quartet -- Carnegie Hall Concert (includes hits from Time Out plus more variety) *NGDB -- Will The Circle Be Unbroken *Beethoven Nine Symphonies -- von Karajan/BPO (1962 recording, hey, the records came in one album box!) *Beatles -- Sgt. Pepper (or Rubber Soul or Revolver)
Now, where are Monk, and Mingus, and Bach, and Coltrane, and Zappa, and Talking Heads, and Mozart, and Simon, and KD Lang, and Satchmo, and Dolly, and, and, and?
*Grateful Dead---Working Man's Dead *Ry Cooder---Paradise and Lunch *Nitty Gritty Dirt Band---Dirt, Silver and Gold(3 LPs-not fair) *Talking Heads---Little Creatures *Rush---Moving Pictures
Also agree with Thick As a Brick provided it's the original Reprise. I will always buy a clean one of these when I find it. Don't care if I end up with ten.
* Sonny Rollins -- Way Out West * Cat Stevens -- Teaser and Firecat * Grateful Dead -- American Beauty * Duke Ellington -- Live at Newport * The Allman Brothers Band -- Live at Filmore East
* Best of the Brady Bunch * Partridge Family -- Greatest Hits * Alan Sherman -- My Son the Nut * The Brindski Family -- Let's All Polka * Kukla, Fran, & Ollie -- Let's Be Friends
White Stripes - Under Great White Northern Lights (live) The Pixies - Death to the Pixies (live) The Birthday Party - It's still Living (live) Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie John Spencer Blues Explosion - Damage
1. Velvet Underground -- Loaded 2. Charles Mingus -- The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady 3. Bob Marley & the Wailers -- Catch a Fire 4. Bob Dylan -- Biograph (not sure if this is cheating) 5. Rolling Stones -- Beggars Banquet
The Beatles - Abbey Road; Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon; Muddy Waters - Folk Singer; Dave Brubeck - Take Five; Frank Sinatra - Sinatra at the Sands
David Gilmour Live at Gdnask (get 5 disks with most the key floyd hit, kinda cheatin') Allman Brothers-- Filmore Buckingham and Nicks Dan Fogleberg--Phoenix CSNY--DEJA VU
I then would have to go to a friends house to hear his 5 and so on,
Again I am afraid I will only play this game if box sets count as 1 choice, sorry.

Elizabeth, after your well worded rant, now you have to play. I want to know your 5 of 6000, that's the fun in the game. Since you have 6000 records, we will even let you take 6!
