Some good uns ther Gaz. Got 3 or 4 of them but fancy the Marvin Gaye one too, and maybe Rumours on fancy vinyl too

[Gazjam]

No Rage Against The Machine then Grant? :D

Don't think Frank Sinatra covered that;)

[Andrei]

Don't you just love that cover art, some great art-works there. Must get that Joni Mitchell Blue.

Got that one on 180 gm Andrei. Its a good recording although not imo great.

"Heart of the Congos" is an audiophile must-have? Guess I'm more of an audiophile than I thought.

[CageyH]

Must rush out and buy Jay-Z :eek:

I have about three on that list, and plans for another couple but I don't think I would want all of them.

[johnB]

I "get" most of these....but Guns n Roses Chinese Democracy? Really? What am I missing?

[Canetoad]

I have 15. :eek: None of that Jay-Z pish though!

[The Black Adder]

Jay Z??? - I think that was a filler or a request from the editor, lol...

I get most of those, Led Zep IV should be in there though, but saying that a lot more should be in there too!

Maybe AOS should do a top 30. I' sure Mr.Z would not be in there.

[Zoidburg]

I actually have 18 of them on vinyl and quite a few more (maybe high 20s) on cd. I guess I just have a broad taste in music.

[simon e]

I have 11 mainly on CD or digital but a couple on vinyl.

Nothing. It's dismal.

Guess I am the only one here to have the Jay-Z and the Dr Dre albums then?

Good to be reminded about the Rage Against The Machine album, I've been meaning to buy that since it came out...oops: 23 years ago. In my defence I have been busy.

Martin I too have the Jay Z and Dre albums.......Dre is on vinyl and sounds mighty fine.

[RichB]

16/30

Very disappointed not to see any Godflesh in there though. I'm having a major Godflesh phase at the moment.

[mossy]

Just listened to the Lee Scratch Perry Congo thing.
Some crazy sounds appear from weird places in the soundstage.
Me likey.

Good man. It is a cracking record, Could never be described as 'bland'

Great album, must dig out my copy although it does need to be played loud, so better wait until the neighbours are out ☺.

[Barry]

I have 12, so less of an audiophile than most! (?)

[Joe]

A measly seven, but since the list excludes the ultimate audiophile album - 'Raw Power' by Iggy & the Stooges - it is clearly worthless.

[Marco]

I've got 22 of the buggers (not sure what that means)...

Never heard of The XX... Dr Dre is wicked! If you don't have that album, you're a weeny-boy pant wetter, with a penchant for raiding old ladies washing lines :ner: ;)

Marco.

[walpurgis]

Only six of those thankfully. :)

[mikeyb]

Only 4 cos the rest are sh*t lol

[Tim]

The XX are superb, you will know it when you hear it Marco, used a lot in TV and film.

18/30 in my collection

[Pete The Cat]

9 here.

I wonder what that means :scratch:

Pete

[mossy]

17 out of 30

Does that make me cool?

[Barry]

Only 4 cos the rest are sh*t lol

Suum cuique!
