A non-hypothetical question:

Help me out here.  For Christmas, yours truly got a record player.  I love it to pieces (it can actually transfer my records to iTunes!).  I've been listening to my vinyls since I brought it home... and yes, I actually owned vinyls before ever owning a record player.  And yes, I know that's weird.  Shut up.

Anyways, my vinyl collection is rather slim - I think I have around ten - and five of the vinyls I own (six, if you count the 45) are by Jimi Hendrix.  Now, I love Jimi and all that, but I like a little bit of variety. 

I went to Ditch Records (one of my favouritest places in Victoria), looking for some additions to my collection.  And came across a couple of great ones (most of which I have in other mediums).  However, I have nowhere near enough cash to purchase them all.  This is where you come in.

Help me figure out which album to buy!  I already have some rock (Tool and A Perfect Circle), a lot of Jimi Hendrix, and (of course) Kyuss' Sky Valley.  With that in mind... which album should I pick up?  (they're all within five bucks of each other)
  • The Beatles' Abbey Road
  • The Beatles' "White Album" (yeah, the best "deal", since it's a double record)
  • Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy
  • Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon (with the crappy reissue cover)
  • Radiohead's OK Computer
  • The Original Desert Sessions album (*drool*, but really, only because it's a rarity)
  • Robert Johnson's original 14 recordings (A reissue, obviously!)
Your help is greatly appreciated.

  2. From that selection, I'd go with The Beatles.

    Btw, if you ever find Duke Ellington's Blues in Orbit album, snap it up! It freaking awesome and worth a fortune.

  3. You like Abbey Road the best anyways AND it is the Beatles' favourite album! Easy choice.
