Essential Albums To Add To Your Record Collection

The Sound of Music Soundtrack by various artists

Amazon.com
It was my grandmother’s favorite movie before she passed away and every year during Christmas my dad and I watch the movie together. So having the soundtrack on vinyl is a must for my collection.

I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning by Bright Eyes

Amazon.com
I’m a huge Bright Eyes fan and this is undoubtedly their best album. Conor Oberst is an incredible lyricist. I honestly believe he is truly the Cat Stevens of the 2000’s. His other bands Desperacidos, Monsters of Folk and his solo stuff are all great but this is the quintessential Oberst album everyone must own.

Grace by Jeff Buckley

Amazon.com
If you want to hear one of the most hauntingly beautiful voices and music ever recorded, Jeff Buckley’s Grace is for you. He died tragically young, but not before releasing this masterpiece. His rendition of ‘Hallelujah’ is the best you’ll ever hear. ‘Lover, You Should Have Come Over’ will have you crying. This album is utterly magnificent.

 

Loaded by The Velvet Underground

Amazon.com
Lou Reed’s creation in its best formation (in my opinion.) The Long Island kid definitely leaves a permanent tone to his music on this record.

 

Star Wars: The Force Awakens by John Williams

Amazon.com
When you play the records, Millennium Falcon and a TIE fighter holograms appear.
