What are some records that you feel are ‘essential’ to your collection (and you would replace if broken/worn out), that you would recommend to others without a second thought?
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Deltron 3030 Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Wilco!
I’ll be super lame and give some ‘obvious’ ones:
- Beatles - Revolver
- Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
- Michael Jackson - Off the Wall
- Paul Simon - Graceland
The Clash - London Calling
The Pink Fairies - Never Never Land (The album ends at Dream Is Just Beginning, the rest are bonus tracks)
Modest Mouse - Lonesome Crowded West
The Chills - Submarine Bells
- King Gizzard | Fishing For Fishies
- Shakarchi and Stranéus | Steal Chickens From Men And The Future From God
- Digable Planets | Blowout Comb
- Crosby, Stills, and Nash | CSN
- Tame Impala | Lonerism
Truth be told least 50 I would try to replace immediately if I had any damage or excessive wear.
Miles Davis - kind of blue
Darkside - psychic
The black Keys - chulahoma
Submerse - algorithms and ghosts
(Sentimentally) the Waterboys - fisherman’s blues
- Dave Brubeck - Time Out
- Marcy Playground - s/t
- Elliott Smith - Either/Or

These are some of my most often played records from my collection. Leaving out my entire Pearl Jam collection for brevity and coolness.
