Wow an old album that rocked your world

I know this is a Hifi forum but isn’t it about the music as well. Has anyone recently played a
Vinyl, disc or whatever you are into. One that you forgot was so good and totally was blown away by the music and the recording? If so share it with us. Mine was Mahavishnu orchestra Birds of Fire. Have not listened to that for some time. Wow. FORGOT HOW GOOD THAT WAS. 
This is what Hifi is all about IMO.

imnop,
Great choice. The first Pretenders album is unmatched! From the moment I heard "Precious" for the first time, my heart almost stopped. I saw them during that period at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia, and it was just an exiting experience. I still listen to it on a regular basis.

James Honeyman Scott was a great loss, as was Pete Farndon... both heroin tragedies.

I thought of another gem...
Even if you think that you have no interest in The Kinks, or all that you know of them is "Lola" (yuk) or "You Really Got Me", you need to get Village Green Preservation Society. I've been listening to it for about 45 years and I never get tired of it. It is fresh and brilliant. Ray Davies and the band at their best, which is very good indeed.

Just thought of another gem...Hall and Oates "War Babies" made in conjunction with Tod Rundgren. No other Hall and Oates record like it, and it is my favorite.

dnb4,
I'm with you. I listen to Surrealistic Pillow as well as Crown of Creation and Worst of Jefferson Airplane on a regular basis. Some incredibly beautiful songs there...timeless.

For everyone who loves Avalon, which I do as well, please don't miss the first 4 Roxy albums which are slightly less luxurious, but more thrilling.
