Looks like a list of non-audiophile pop LPs that nevertheless have good sound.

OK, so how many do you have?

22 was my count, how many of the others would I want ?

I'm guessing none by that comment!

35 on vinyl, but would like to add GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR - F# A# ∞ (1998).

I still don't have a copy in any form of LOVE - FOREVER CHANGES (2015) or STEELY DAN - AJA, which seem like albums everyone should own at sometime.

Never even heard of WEYES BLOOD - TITANIC RISING (2019) before.

15 !

yes, get a copy of aja

Nine.

You will recall that Weyes Blood managed to appear at the Akld Arts Festival (& Wgtn Arts Fest.) earlier this year.

She is pretty awesome.

No thanks.

Eight, mostly by chance rather than seeking out.
Blackstar, Abbey Road, Rumours, Aja (Cisco 180g LP rip), Blue, Kind Of Blue (mono & stereo & corrected versions), Wish You Were Here, Homogenic.

Hadn't even heard of some of the others. Was never into Nirvana. Probably should have some of the other ones I do know of.

All in flac files... Kind of Blue one version on CD as well.

But a pretty shallow list, IMHO.

I have some fantastic sounding jazz and other genre albums that I'd rate even well over the ones I do have from it.

Id agree that Aja is well worth having a copy of, though my favourite LP of theirs is Cant buy a Thrill. Donald Fagens Nightfly is also an essential purchase imo. Seeing the Daniel Lanois mention the other day reminded me that theres a few great sounding albums that have slipped through the cracks and that you dont see mentioned much any more:

John Hiatt: Bring the Family
Natalie Merchant: Tigerlily
Joe Cocker: Sheffield Steel
Robert Palmer: Riptide.

😲 It's never to late says the man with seven versions. The recent reissues are pretty good or there's the full immersion 50th set that won't break the bank.

One ... Dusty.

Glad to see these two mentioned, Nirvana - MTV Unplugged and Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun, as they are in my top ten albums of all time list.

Nine. Read a review of Ghosteen and have it on my buy list for when an affordable version is available.

Skeleton Tree was always going to be a tough album to follow. But with Ghosteen he has been very successful in further exploring death, faith, grief and even comfort.

It's a brilliant album.

Twenty

20/56  - by this StuffTV rating, happy I'm just a 35.7% audiophile...

got those !

I would think most audio guys of a certain age would have, but perhaps it gives our younger viewers something to look out for in the bargain bins.
