Neutral Milk Hotel’s In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

vinyl luva — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 22:04:18 +0000

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is one of those perfect albums that seemed to come out nowhere. Simple yet quirky and passionate guitar playing. Interesting melodies and cool lyrics, while not always sung perfectly, the passion makes up for it. This is one of the best albums of the late ’90′s. It seems to have taken on a life of it’s own through the 2000′s and it seems that more people are discovering this album by the day. I heard a piece on NPR where a high school put on a musical based on the album! Tracks have been covered by many prominent musicians. It’s a must-have.

Jane’s Addiction – Ritual de lo Habitual

vinyl luva — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 17:22:10 +0000

Jane’s Addiction’s first three records are all must own. 1990′s Ritual de lo Habitual brought them mainstream attention with the super-catchy “Been Caught Stealing” single and video, but it’s the rest of the album that makes this album epic. “Three Days” alone make this album worth the price of admission!

Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy

Zeppelin put out lots of great material in their 10 year career, but my favorite is 1973′s Houses of the Holy. This colorful album has a little of everything, from beautiful ditties like “Rain Song” and “Over the Hills and Far Away” to rocking songs like “The Ocean”. Definitely my favorite Zeppelin album cover too!

Jimi Hendrix – Axis: Bold As Love

vinyl luva — Thu, 20 May 2010 16:11:33 +0000

All of the Jimi Hendrix Experience albums are must-own-records. But my absolute favorite one is the middle one, Axis: Bold as Love. Awesome well-know tracks include “Castles Made of Sand”, “Little Wing” and the title track. Lesser-known but killer tracks include “If 6 was 9″, “You’ve Got Me Floatin’”, “Spanish Castle Magic” and “Wait Until Tomorrow”. Overall a nearly perfect album that needs to be listened through in it’s entirety.

R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio

vinyl luva — Tue, 18 May 2010 21:14:57 +0000

The soaring voice of the incredible Ronnie James Dio has been silenced, he sadly passed away Sunday of stomach cancer. I’ve been listening to one of his best records, Heaven and Hell, his 1980 first outing with Black Sabbath. Thanks for the rock, RJD!

AC/DC Back in Black

vinyl luva — Sun, 16 May 2010 19:11:19 +0000

There are lots of good AC/DC records, including most of the Bon Scott output. But no album is bigger and badder than 1980′s Back in Black. Crank up your stereo, drop the needle on side one track one, listen to a couple crackles and then when the open riff kicks in: “baaah … baa-na-na-na … baa-na-na-na” … you’ll know immediately what’s so great about a good hard rocking tune on vinyl!

Jingly Jangly Joy with the Lemonheads – It’s a Shame About Ray

vinyl luva — Fri, 14 May 2010 15:59:22 +0000

I was in college when this record came out and played it to death. It’s one of those super-short perfect rock albums. Evan Dando and whoever was playing with him at the time were on the cusp of becoming superstars … it never quite happenend, but at least he put out this masterpiece. Juliana Hatfield plays and sings on most of the tracks which is probably what takes this from being a good record to a great record. Tons of good tracks “It’s a Shame About Ray”, “Confetti”, “Allison’s Starting to Happen”, “My Drug Buddy”, “Kitchen” as well as the Simon and Garfunkel cover Mrs. Robinson (which I can take or leave). Must own record.

Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon

vinyl luva — Thu, 13 May 2010 14:17:27 +0000

Okay, DSOTM is so popular and well-known, it’s almost a cliche. But it’s popularity is no fluke. It’s a perfect album. And it’s all the better on vinyl. No record collection is close to complete without it!

Yo La Tengo “I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One”

vinyl luva — Tue, 11 May 2010 20:07:09 +0000

Yo La Tengo has been a critics’ favorites for years and years and years now. They’ve got tons and tons of great records, but none as accessible and well-knows as their 1997 masterpiece “I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One”. In 2009 it was re-released as a double LP 180 gram HQ LP. My personal favourite tracks are “Autumn Sweater” and “Stockholm Syndrome”, but the whole record is just spectacular. This is a record embraces by scores of music fans and critics; marketed a little better this album could have been a multi-platinum hit with an even wider audience.

R.E.M. Murmur – Must-Own Vinyl

vinyl luva — Mon, 10 May 2010 04:02:12 +0000

R.E.M. produced many excellent records over the years. But I like none better than their jingly jangly debut Murmur. On the surface, it seems like they’re breaking no new rock/pop ground, but there’s just something great about them on this album that never grows old on repeated listens.

This record is a must-own on vinyl. There’s just something beyond words about this one.
