Friday Fun: Your TOP3 Favorite Records 📀🎧

[Zuzanna Patocka_Deviniti_]

I am inviting all music lovers to the discussion. 

This is one of my favorite questions in the world, so I must ask it here: What are TOP3 music albums you can live without? 

Of course, choosing only three records can be incredibly hard, but let’s try (or extend it a bit ;)). 

So, without further ado, here are my picks:

1. Grace by Jeff Buckley
2. Parachutes by Coldplay
3. Carrie & Lowell by Sufjan Stevens 

Usually, I listen to them through streaming services, but I want to buy a record player and have these LPs on vinyl someday. 

Please share your list down below and add something about your listening habits if you want 🙂

Have a great day!

I tend to listen to a small number of albums "on repeat" for a while before retiring them for a while, but I'd probably pick the Hamilton soundtrack, Made of Bricks by Kate Nash, and then I wish I could make a playlist of certain Lana del Rey songs into an album for my third...haha!

I only could come up with two.  These are the ones I listen from start to finish.  No shuffle.

1. The Joshua Tree, U2

2. Hamilton Soundtrack, Original Broadway cast

Well, no. 1 was easy, but afterwords it got difficult. I'd pick

1. The Nightfly by Donald Fagan

2. A Charlie Brown Christmas by Vince Gueraldo Trio

3. Love Over Gold by Dire Straits

I have to admit that no. 2 and 3 are quite a random choice. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles and Porgy And Bess by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrongs are close calls, to say the least. I have to point out, that those are favorites of my vinyl collection (I bought a record player just two or three years ago). On vinyl I buy mostly classic jazz and blues records, also some rock classics though.

My CD collections ranks back to '92. When I consider that, there probably will be something by Dream Theater in the Top 3, probably "Scenes From A Memory". My first two CDs were "If You Want Blood, You've Got It" by AC/DC and "Operation Mindcrime" by Queensryche. Hey, how about yours?

Zuzanna, have you made up your mind yet what kind of record player to buy? I have an english-made Rega planar three. The models by Rega (also P1 or P2 if you want to spend less money) are quite a good choice if you like a simple manual player. 

To those who choose the Hamilton Soundtrack: Good choice, I dig that, too.
