I had my CD collection (over 2000 albums) stolen about 3 months ago and I am looking to start over again and rebuild my horde. To make this fun, I want everyone here to help me! The first 100 albums I am going to buy will be picked from the suggestion everyone gives me in the thread! My question is this; if you were in my shoes and lost all of your music, what would be the first album you would go and pick up? Please limit your choices to CD's only.

X2 on that, I have the Binaural version, it just doesn't get anymore real.

However I'd also suggest;
10,000 maniacs, MTV unplugged
Beach Boys, Sounds of Summer
Eric Clapton, One More Car, One More Ride
Bob Dylan, Bootleg vol 4, Live at Albert Hall
Marvin Gaye, What's Going On, MFSL
Bruce Hornsby, Harbor Lights
Bob Marley, Ledgend
Kenny Wayne Sheperd, 10 Days out
Diana Krall, Live in Paris

With Darth Beyers the sounds will knock you on your a*s!

No the trick is listen to it on K-1000's in a library. Really loud.

 

[Billyk]

This was harder than I thought, but here is my list.

Grateful Dead - Working Man's Dead
Holly Cole - Temptation
Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue
Dave Brubek - Take Five
John Mayall - Turning Point
Dr John - Afterglow
Allman Brothers - At The Fillmore
Bonzo Dog Band - Tadpoles
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
Bonnie Raitt - Sweet Forgiveness

That would hold me for a while. I still listen to live Grateful Dead more than anything else, so I would be downloading and B&P'ing like a mad man for a while.

 

[paulb09]

That's a lot of money lost, let alone listening pleasure

Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile
Black Sabbath - The Best Of Black Sabbath
The Lord Of The Rings: Complete Trilogy
The Chemical Brothers - Singles 93-03

 

[Ham Sandwich]

Here's some favorites from my eclectic side. They're all a fun listen and get me out of a rut of listening to the same old.

Skip, Hop & Wobble by Jerry Douglas (with Edgar Meyer and Russ Barenberg)
Edgar Meyer does some amazing playing on track 4 "From Ankara to Izmir"
If/When I get to try some electrostats I'd want to play something from this album.

We Shal Overcome: The Seeger Sessions by Bruce Springsteen
Folk isn't my normal thing, but this album is fun to listen to. It was recorded in Bruce's livingroom with little rehearsal. That results in music that is alive and real, not over-produced.

Euphoria by Leftover Salmon
polyethnic cajun slamgrass

The first three would be easy for me. After that, forget about it. I often wonder what I would do in this situation, and I suspect that I wouldn't repurchase old stuff I was already familiar with (except the three listed below, which I couldn't live without). I think I would just focus on new releases going forward (and I would try not to buy so many and listen more closely to what I did buy). I'm really sorry you lost 2000 CDs.

Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street
Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted

 

[marcusicp]

Thank you for all the replies thus far! Keep 'em coming!

That's what I think I am going to do at first. That is part of the reason for the thread. I am sure I will find a lot of great stuff I haven't had before thanks to everyone here!

 

[falis]

You asked for one, so here's the first one:

Watching the Dark - Richard Thompson

This is a tough call, as I've got about as much music as you lost (condolences), and half of it is jazz.
