Boston...Boston Lynyrd Skynyrd... Pronounced Black Crows...Shake Your Money Maker Cars....Cars Steely Dan...Can't Buy a Thrill

I have one regret. I gave away my red vinyl Japanese edition Beatles I got in the 80's, mono mixes. Argh. Why did I do that.

I've been lucky enough to grow up in a household with high end audio and musically appreciative parents, start my record collection there, keep going, put them away for a few decades but haul them out again and get some more. I like vinyl but lets be totally clear: dynamic range, frequency response, low noise, and stereo separation belongs to the CD. A/B comparisons leave no doubt. But the CD is not visually appealing for trendy youtube videos and social media. Don't be fooled. But enjoy your records too. The tactile experience, bigger cover art, gatefold packages are also fun.

Thanks for blocking me Douche water!! You know nothing about vinyl started in 2019! Enjoy your FABRICATED FOUR Texas 💩

TOP 5: 1. Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced 2. The Doors - S/T 3. Gn’R - Appetite for Destruction 4. Pearl Jam - Ten 5. The Strokes - Is This It Honorable Mentions: Rage Against the Machine - S/T Led Zeppelin - S/T Jeff Buckley - Grace Ramones - S/T Television - Marquee Moon

VH deny, dpes not hold up to time. Gets old.

Great video. I suppose these are my favourites if I had to choose: Piper at the gates of dawn, Kill em all, Appetite, Core, Sabbath.

but what about my CD collection!??

If your house burns down what does insurance companies go by? You would be lucky to get 2 dollars a Record.

I definitely have bought records I wouldn’t have otherwise due to FOMO marketing. BUT, I’ve said this before, two things that are no good to me on vinyl: a scratch record or an unopened one. I’ve been bashed for finding a rare, sealed pressing and cracking the seal. Certain people think it’s crazy for me to open the record and that I immediately depreciated the value of the record. My perspective is, why spend all that cash on something you can’t enjoy? I buy cars to drive and records to play. If I want to look at them, I’ll go to the dealership or a local record store. Otherwise, if it’s coming home it’s going to be enjoyed. 👍

Zeppelin I, The Cars, Nevermind, Sabbath, Ramones, Hendrix

The Band - Music From Big Pink. But I don’t think we share affection for the same style of classic rock

Foreigner’s first album. Nearly every song dominated the radio play lists.

Give me Queen I. Heaviest Queen ever.

Easily one of the best videos on youtube. Thanks for the concise information 👍

I can't argue with your picks. However I would like to add an obvious one. Black Sabbath debut

I was 17 and working at the record store in the mall when Guns N Roses came out. Game changer for sure at that time! Aerosmith, The Doors, Pearl Jam, Lenny Kravitz - Let Love Rule, and Black Crowes - Shake Your Money Maker.

I agree on Hendrix, VH and G’n’R, but I would replace the others with the first Montrose record and the first Black Sabbath album. I’m not much of a fan of punk and although a great album, Zep 1 was a ripoff of Truth by Jeff Beck and quite a bit of stealing old blues songs and calling them their own.

My top 5 (although I can list many, many more) in no particular order because they are all great debut albums from different periods: 1. Elvis Presley (Self-titled) 2. The Beatles - "Please, Please Me" 3. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - "Are You Experienced" 4. Chicago Transit Authority 5. Bad Company (Self-titled)

I think you've hit all the nails just as I would have done it.

A good list. Mine would be: Boston, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, The Doors.

Very well done, really no argument here. In the top 10 conversation I might suggest Tom Petty and ZZ Top over the Cars/Boston.....but again all solid picks. Cheers!

That's a good list! My personal top 5, in no particular order: Boston - Boston The Cars - The Cars Van Halen 1 Guns and Roses - Appetite for Destruction Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

I was 18 when GNR hit. I feel sorry for rock fans who dont get to live through a debut like that. GAME CHANGER . To say it was my soundtrack <and my pals>is an understatement. Living in Detroit , the rock scene exploded and <if it's your thing> the girls had never been hotter,the whiskey and beers better , or going out on Friday and Saturday. Imagine the club scenes from Purple Rain but with metal and rock. Can I go back ?

I would have to say, not in any particular order: Van Halen Boston Led Zeppelin Cars These all changed the sound of what I was hearing at the time.

I like 2 out of the 5 on your list. Axl Rose's voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me, I can't change the radio station fast enough when G & R comes on.

Pearl Jam are terrible. Nirvana could easily replace Guns N Roses. The Who My Generation.....#1

Montrose. Also Texas Flood by SRV

My top 5 Boston, Boston The Cars, The Cars Van Halen, Van Halen Jimi Hendrix Experience Led Zeppelin

I would add: Jeff Buckley - Grace Counting Crows -August and Everything After The Killers - Hot Fuss

Great choices my friend! I loved the slight expansion of your list as Boston and The Cars are in my Top Five Debut Albums. One can't go wrong with any of your choices. Solid picks across the board.

Great list, but here's mine, Boston, foreigner, bad company, areosmith,April wine!

Elvis Presley - S/T Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced? The Velvet Underground & Nico The Doors - S/T Led Zeppelin - S/T Black Sabbath - S/T Ramones - S/T Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures

Boston - Boston Cheap Trick - Cheap Trick The Clash - The Clash Cars - Cars Elvis Costello - My Aim is True

Yes, G&R is tops for me. Best debut ever!

Very solid list, but I would need to put Ritchie Valen's debut album in the top 5 over Van Halen. That is one of the most influential albums of all time. Some others I'd consider for top 10: Joy Division Unknown Pleasures My Bloody Valentine Isn't Anything Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead S/T The Velvet Underground S/T

Also worth adding to the list: - The Doors - The Doors - Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures - The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium - The Smiths - The Smiths - Rage Against the Machine - R.A.T.M. - Weezer - "Blue" Album

Not the best, but definitely my favourites Rush - Self Titled The Strokes - Is This It Dire Straits - Self Titled Men At Work - Business As Usual The Doors - Self Titled

Hard to argue with your list GI! Here’s a few more greats that came to mind: 1. Music from Big Pink - The Band 2. Dire Straits (Self Titled) 3. Outlandos d’Amour - The Police 4. High Voltage - AC/DC 5. Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash - The Replacements Edit: how could I forget QOTSAs self titled debut!

1-“My Aim is True” - Elvis Costello 2-“Please Please Me” - The Beatles 3-“The Kick Inside” - Kate Bush 4-“The Velvet Underground & Nico” - Velvet Underground 5- (tie)“Elvis Presley” - Elvis Presley 5 - (tie) “Music From the Bug Pink” - The Band

I totally agree with Zeppelin & Sabbath. I had not owned that Hendrix album until recently and he has never been on a top list for me, but I have to agree. I’m going in a different direction with the next two, I’m going with REM’s Murmur and the White Stripes S/T. I also have to throw Toadies Rubberneck in the mix. I own Appetite and it’s a great album.

I don't know if I can choose 5 so for me I'll say Zeppelin I (not my favorite from them, I like Physical Graffiti).They changed music with that album, just like Elvis and the Beatles did before them. I was born in 76' and like you I do remember when G&R came out. EVERYONE in school was talking about Paradise City. And while I'm not really into grunge anymore, Nevermind was mind blowing when it came out. Top five is tough as most bands I listen to, their first album is not my favorite!

Velvet Underground & Nico Television - Marquee Moon Wire - Pink Flag Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures Ride - Nowhere

I’m a 1978 kid too! That G&R debut was ridiculous when it came out! Still one of my favorite albums!

Van Halen all the way! Changed rock guitar…

Thinking that your record collection will bring you a pile of gold is foolish buy for the music and die with it!

Thanks for turning me onto the blind melon album. I just purchased it along with the black Crows album. Good stuff. Could you do a video on your record collection? the reason I ask is that we have very similar taste in music.

Interesting, I have DMM copy of Iron Maiden's Somewhere in Time 86 release with scuffs and hairline scratches, plays solid, have a perfectly clean no scratch version of Floyd'd Meddle that snap crackles pops.

I learned a lot from your video and my vinyl experience will be all the richer for it. Thanks for taking the time to release this. 👍

Greatest band ever. Greatest album ever.
