Best selling albums of all time


Here's an AI list of the top selling albums of all time:

1) Michael Jackson – Thriller
2) Eagles – Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975)
3) AC/DC – Back in Black
4) Pink Floyd – The Dark Side of the Moon
5) Whitney Houston / Various Artists – The Bodyguard (Soundtrack)
6) Bee Gees – Saturday Night Fever
7) Fleetwood Mac – Rumours
8) Led Zeppelin – Led Zeppelin IV
9) Michael Jackson – Bad
10) The Beatles – Abbey Road

I'm just wondering which of these are owned and enjoyed by audiophiles and which would probably never be played on their systems?

I hope I'm not sounding like a music snob. Personally, I would play AC/DC, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and maybe Thriller.

It has a couple of pieces that are decent with maybe the first one being my favorite, can't remember the title. It is my least favorite of the Fresh Aire series, just seems odd to me. A friend of mine thinks it's great. 

I do not have an SACD player. I have played a couple DVD-A's on my current CD player. Just don't have many but I do have a couple Chip Davis ones. HDCD is fairly new to me and it can be really good. Many of the American Gramaphone redbook Cd's were done very well also. For the most part, I find his vinyl to be the best but with my current set up, I am getting lazier and am enjoying Cd's a lot more than I used to. Just lucking into some combinations that make them far more tolerable than they used to be. 

Thanks for the recommendation...

I did not knew him ...

Coming from a wise music lover i appreciate...

My very best ...

Try some Chip Davis if you never have. My dad never got to hear it, I think he would have loved it and he was classical and hymns all the way. I grew up on both but I did branch out. Been doing a fair amount of Celtic listening lately, lost of good stuff there. I do always throw in some Chip Davis for testing though. It never gets old for me. You and I may have similar taste but I think you might lean more classical than I. As to compliments or not, I am well beyond concern of such things. Enjoy the journey. For many of us, it is nearing the end. I try to live each day as if it could be my last and music is a very important part of that. 

@mahgister My pleasure. I have not grown tired of him in nearly 50 years since the first time I heard a Fresh Aire V piece on a Linn LP12, both firsts. I still enjoy both today. 

My very best to you as well.

Have you heard Constance Demby? Probably an equally compelling life (and music) story as Chip Davis.

I would recommend the album Set Free to get started

Yes I have them all on cds and everything but the Whitney Houston Body Guard lp..
