Rory Gallagher - Irish Tour Robin Trower - Live: King Biscuit Flower Hour Iggy Pop - Live: King Biscuit Flower Hour all Cream all Wayne Shorter all Andrew Hill all Debussy all Satie all Liszt ("most" classical recordings are dirt cheap) anything from Fat Possum (Black Keys, R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, Paul "Wine" Jones, etc...) Fat Possum supports grassroots jukejoint delta blues style artists. Often crude, greasy lyrics, often sloppy playing but often well recorded. Music for when you should have not drank that last beer. Great driving music or if you're having problems with the old lady, kids, boss, neighbors, fellow humans, etc... and just feel like kicking the dog! Music with attitude!!! all the Alligator Records Anniversary Collections. Alligator features Blues greats and the recording quality is usually excellent!!! ...start with the 20th Anniversary Collection. Can have same attitude as Fat Possum, but not as frequently and usually more polished performances. Amphetamine Reptile "Dope, Guns and ****ing in the Streets" Compilations (first try volume 4-7, then 8-11 if you like 4-7) this is where Helmet started. Music to piss the neighbors off! Though some can be quite humorous, for the most part you might as well hang a big sign around your neck saying "**** and STAY AWAY" Give MapleShade recordings a try...very simple soundboard recordings claiming no mixing, dubbing, etc... some can be quite raw in a bad way while others are raw in that "awesome...unrehearsed performance in your livingroom" (or head 
all ECM recordings: look for their samplers as their recordings are pricey and its artists can be quite ecclectic! Excellent recording quality!!!!! ....ditto on those who listed "Let it Bleed"! a definate desert island pick |
