I am a young XX years old...well never mind. My very first album and I do mean "album" was Kansas "Point of Know Return." That will give you an idea of how old I am. I never got into the Beatles much. In fact I don't have any of their stuff. Some of my suggestions:

Led Zeppelin - I - "Dazed and Confused" is just awesome.

Led Zeppelin - IV - "Stairway to Heaven" no explanation needed.

Pink Floyd - Animals - Roger Waters...genius or madman?

Pink Floyd - The Wall - Newer, but still amazing.

America - I - "A Horse With No Name" - After all this time still a catchy song.

Tommy James and The Shondells - I don't think the kiddies would like them but I always did. This is one of my big secrets so don't tell anyone.

Chicago - Too many to mention.

Jimi Hendrix - Again, too many to mention. There will never be anybody better!

This is just a short list. I'm sure with more time I will think of many more.

A few more of what I consider indespensable and should be searched out if you've never heard them:

Neil Young Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and After The Gold Rush
Eagles Hotel California
Bob Marley and The Wailers Catch a Fire
John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band
Bob Dylan Blood on the Tracks
Van Morrison Moondance

Well, I'm just a kid too, but I haven't overlooked the oldies. Ever since I picked up my first Zeppelin disc, I haven't looked at music the same way. Before that, I just bought music that played well on the radio. Now, everything I buy is connected and tight with the rest of my stuff ( in my own mind ). I have a great appreciation for musicianship, too thanks to that amazing foursome. Other oldy favorites I have are:

Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers, Beatles - Revolver, Dusty Springfield - Dusty In Memphis, Vanilla Fudge. Bowie - The Man Who Sold the World

A lot of the pop music I have salutes these acts - for the sixties pop or psychedelia. The fusion of styles is exciting too, and that's something I dig in these "nu-metal" bands. So for all the detractors of modern music (not necessarily dinosaurs) - hey, your parents liked stuff that your grannies thought was crap too.

 

[zoboomofo]

oops.

In addition to most of the above:

Billy Joel - Piano Man
Janis Joplin - Pearl
Carol King - Tapestry
John Lennon - Imagine
Steely Dan - Aja
The Eagles - Desperado
The Rolling Stones - Goats Head Soup

and for the select few:

Head East - Flat as a Pancake
Aliotta, Haynes and Jeremiah - LSD (That's Lake Shore Drive)

Oh, and that reminds me, Nick Danger, are you a Firesign Theatre fan or do you just like drinking chocolate malted falcons and selling high schools on the corner?

Getting in on this thread a little late but I thought I'd throw in a coupla oddball favs other than those already listed.
Jeff Beck-Blow By Blow 1975
Joni Mitchell-Hejira 1976
Tom Waits- The Heart of Saturday Night 1974

These require deep listening and are best in complete darkness and solitude. Take 'em or leave 'em. These for me are lifelong keepers.

Lol. I still have my original cassette from way back when. Cassettes were pretty new then and it sounds terrible, so I had to get a copy off napster. I also saw them in concert and that (sound quality) was pretty bad too.
