The Top Ten
1 Breakfast in America - Supertramp

Come on. Who doesn't have this one?

2 With a Little Help from My Friends - Joe Cocker
3 Hey Jude - Beatles
4 Boston - Boston

I don't like the album. :/

5 For Those About to Rock We Salute You - AC/DC
6 Who's Next - Who
7 The Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd

So many people say things like "Oh, listening to <The Wall; Abbey Road; Pet Sounds; Wish You Were Here> from start to finish on vinyl is such an EXPERIENCE. No. None of those albums are true listening experiences. THIS album is a listening EXPERIENCE. I had heard it a few times on CD and digitally before buying it on vinyl and I thought it was good.

9 Tres Hombres - ZZ Top
10 Best of Blondie - Blondie
The Contenders
11 Band On the Run - Wings
12 Frampton Comes Alive - Peter Frampton
13 Lazaretto - Jack White

The ultra LP! Features a glossy and matted side, a lock grove, a hidden song under the paper, a hologram of an angel! Even if you're not a fan of White's (amazing) music, this vinyl record is something to truly invest in.
