I gave my vinyl away many years ago and most of my CDs several years ago. I kept the greatest hits albums for:

  • Heart (both 70's and 80's)
  • Stevie Nicks
  • Fleetwood Mac
  • INX
  • Foreigner
  • Boston
  • Pet Shop Boys
  • David Bowie
  • New Order
  • Richard Marx
  • Bryan Adams
  • Pat Benatar
Fun fact: I used to be an amateur DJ and mixed tapes and CDs in the 80's and 90's so I had an extensive collection of dance music on 12" vinyl and CD. After dual turntables I moved to dual CD mixers. Now DJs use computers. I still have my mixes on cassette tapes and CDs but I rarely listen to them. I listen to everything on my iPod or iPhone.
 
To me what makes an album great is that there's not any part of it I don't like.

Really good pop:
Beatles Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
Simon & Garfunkle Greatest Hits
Paul Simon There Goes Rhymin Simon
Chicago Greatest Hits
Neil Diamond Greatest hits
Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers
Eagles (1st album), Hotel California, The Long Run

Really good progressive rock:
Marillion Misplaced Childhood
Pink Floyd The Dark Side of the Moon
Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells
Mike Oldfield Ommadawn
Mike Oldfield Incantations
Mike Oldfield The Songs of Distant Earth

These are really good jazz albums:
Paul Desmond Take Ten
Grant Green Idle Moments
Miles Davis Kind of Blue

I could go on and on. I don't buy albums I don't like.

Gord's Gold, 1975, Gordon Lightfoot. A summary of his best songs, up to that point in his career. I had the original album in 1975, but lost it in the course of moving, at a later date. This year, I saw a brand new CD version for sale on Amazon, Australia, for under ten dollars Canadian, so I bought it. Delivery was slow, 45 days, but it was as advertised, brand new, undamaged. It's playing in the back ground as I type this....JimB.
