Essential Albums....What 3 albums would you suggest as essential listening from !
Question: i know this is rock and pop, but i would invite your suggestions from all genres (blues, jazz, rock, country, etc.) this is only 3 albums so dont rack your brains over this...oh and try to avoid obvious answers that i know are coming. this question is supposed to spread music to people who may not have been touched by it yet.
Mine:
Old 97's - Too Far To Care...one of the by far unheard of or underrated bands that people never talk about.
Pavement - Wowee Zowee...indie rock that got me into indie.
Eric Johnson - Ah Via Musicom...completely blown away by this guitar virtuoso and sad i had not known of him earlier.
