so, i'm employed. that means i have money. well-a bit of money. i need to save up for next year. but that is beside the point. it means that i can purchase some decent albums. now, out of the last 3 albums i bought, 2 have been mild wastes of money (i feel free-the best of cream, three cheers for revenge-my chemical romance, and a random "a perfect circle" album. i'll leave it up to you which ones i consider to be a waste of money, and which one i got for £3.97 and am immensely pleased with...). thus, i have becided to consult this forum for some ideas. i already have a few, but i'm not sure about all of them. i definatly want a bob dylan album and a beatles one, and no best of's...
my current "maybe"'s are, in no particular order,
Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables - dead kennedys
Damaged - black flag
sargent peppers lonely hearts club band - the beatles
Highway 61 revisited - Bob dylan
are you experienced - jimi hendrix
exile on main street - the rolling stones
nevermind - nirvana
rumours - fleetwood mac (get earlier?)
The joshua tree - U2
who's next - the who
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars - David Bowie
At Fillmore East - The Allman Brothers Band
Elvis Presley - Elvis Presley
After the Gold Rush - Neil Young
clap your hands say yeah - self titled
although i shan't be getting all of them as i am still a lowly, poor student. and i also want to buy a ukulele...any suggestions? any no-no's? any "you didn't put it in!"'s?

I'm not very familiar with the last one, but it's U2 so it'll be good.
BTW: The best of cream better have been the one you liked.

Dylan's best albums are 'Desire' and 'Blood on the Tracks
Wish You Were Here. Floyd
The White Album. Beatles
Rust Never Sleeps. Neil Young
Something by Lou Reed and also Leonard Cohen.[wide choice of albums]
Aiyaiyai. Music tastes are so wildly different, it's impossible to know what to recommend. I mean, I could rattle off half a dozen albums that rock my musical world, and you might think they're a bunch of pathetic singer-songwriters who should stop whinging about their existential angst and get a job flipping burgers.
About the only one on your list I can comment on is U2. I've never quite understood the fuss. They have some great songs, but I've yet to hear a uniformly strong album. The first few tracks of The Joshua Tree are fantastic but then to me it trails off really badly.

Not a lot of originality in that list.
and i know what you mean about U2. i used to listen to their best of many moons ago and never quite got into them. so i'm gonna try again...
