OT: Turntable album-Your top choice

[Oldmanastro]

So yesterday my youngest daughter turned 17 and I got her a turntable for vinyl albums. She’s collected a few albums over the years just for the album covers.
So it tugged at my heart when the first album she chose to play was Dark Side of the Moon. Then she went into my stack that’s been sitting in my media room gathering dust and pulled out my original Van Halen 1 that I bought when it originally came out and hasn’t seen daylight in over 30 years. Brought back memories and tears. We just sat around and listened like we teenagers did back in the 70 and 80’s, and going over and over the album jacket.

So my question to you knuckleheads is “What would be your first album choice to play?”

 

[freeper]

Hard to beat "Van Halen I".....that would have been right there for me. I might have gone with Aerosmith, "Toys in the Attic".....or Electric Light Orchestra, "A New World Record".....man we had good music.....

 

[Etlonghorn]

Great question. Van Halen I or Highway to Hell maybe.

 

[JonBinge]

Marty Robbins sounds great on a turntable.

 

[clob94]

Beetles white album?

I wore out playing my Buck Owens "Together Again" 45, til my brother put it on top of a lamp bulb and melted it. It still played but w a different type style.😁
We are both older now, but I still send him Buck Owens stuff just as a joke.

One of the best concerts I ever went to was Buck Owens at The Fillmore in San Francisco. There was a crap-ton of hippie women there who had no idea how to two-step....the services of me and my two buddies were in much demand that night....

Ah, yet to bask in the delight of the aromatic seduction of eau de patchouli oil with undertones of body odor and odoriferous hints of skunk weed. Nary a razor had but grazed the surface of their legs nor the pits of their arms and nethers.
The carelessness of their LSD induced prattle, the sunken hue of their pupils, so dilated, and their dervish gyrations were certainly intoxicating.

I can just see your ass out there trying to teach hippie chicks in tie dye shirts with beetnik love beads how to dance in their hemp woven sandals...... errrr chonklas.
Thinking to yourself "well-----this one shaves her legs.........."

Fun fact.....in general there are two types of hippy chicks....the communal type....most frequently seen at protests and college town business collectives. (think group ownership of an organic, vegetarian pizza place). Type two is your free-range hippy chick who most frequently wants to get back to nature. Since much of their time is spent outdoors, they are almost uniformly equipped with a pair of cowboy boots, which are broken out for lesser hikes and the occasional foray into a honky-tonk or a country music concert. Such was the type encountered that evening. Otherwise you nailed it....right down to the tie-dyed shirts and beatnik love beads.

Freeper woke up the next morning and thought the hippy chick was sitting on Buckwheat’s shoulders….
