Compiling a list of the best albums to own on vinyl is no small task. There is a staggering amount of music history to consider, and at the end of the day, you could ask ten different people and get ten completely different lists. But I can conclude one thing for certain: there is no better way own music than the beautiful canvas of vinyl.You may not agree with my list, but one thing is for certain. These vinyls would wow you in some way.
For the iconic album cover alone, no collection is complete without a copy of the ubiquitous Dark Side of The Moon. The album has sold an estimated 45 million copies and is among the biggest selling albums ever. New collectors continue to snap up copies of this experiential classic, demonstrating how iconic albums are capable of breaking down generational boundaries. An experience best enjoyed in a dimly lit, atmospheric room, the album explores the human condition through timeless subjects such as conflict, greed, time, death, and mental illness.
Personally one of my favorites and one I am still trying to collec. The spiraling success of Back to Black drove the success of British soul music throughout the 2000s. Back to Black, her second and final album is predominately based on her tumultuous relationship with her ex boyfriend, who she later married before her all too early death at just 27. Back to Black was widely acclaimed for Winehouses incredible songwriting and emotive singing style, and produced five hit singles, my favorites being Tears Dry on Their Own, and Back to black named after the ablum.
The album that could easily never have seen the light of day. Rumours is among the biggest selling albums of all time, and in my opinion, suits vinyl down to the ground. In particular, the dry 1970s drum sound really shines through. Sometimes, we create our best work through times of hardship, and this certainly applies to Rumours. The well documented tales of sex, drugs, and incestuous band relationships add to the magic and fire that make Fleetwood Macs flagship album so universally appealing.
One of the first pieces of analog media that I have colected and still holds a special place in my colection. Jazz music just suits the warm cozy sound of vinyl, and they do not come much better than the best selling Jazz album of all time. The tone, atmosphere, and musicianship on Kind Of Blue is outstanding to say the least. Jazz music is not for everyone; it is full of virtuosity, improvisation, and complexity. If you are new to the genre, the sweet dulcet tones of Miles Davises trumpet are a great place to start.
Thriller remains the biggest-selling album of all time,with 70 million copies sold worldwide. It is estimated over 27 million of these copies are vinyl records.The album is a pop classic and owes much of its success to a string of music videos from Billie Jean to the title track, Thriller. The album deserves every success and quite rightly transformed MJ into a pop icon. To this day, the zombie dance and MJs red jacket remain iconic pop culture elements of the 1980s.
Everyones list is differnt and have varying opinions because musical taste is very subjective. This list has something for everyone and can open people to new musical artist. From Jazz to pop these albums offer a range of differnt sounds as well as nice vinly quality. In the end the best thing is tojust talk about music and enjoy it, as well as supporting your favorite artists.
