items Nothing is cheap these days. A good copy of vinyl is no exception. If you want to spend your hard earned money on quality music, then you need to know which artists are a pretty bankable one to choose. This list will give you an idea of who, atleast ...
Arguably the greatest and most likable band of all time. Pretty much any album is a good pick from this band, but if you are just starting up I highly recommend buying either the number 1’s album, red greatest hits, or blue greatest hits album.
The Beatles
Irresistible harmonies, catchy hooks, and overall amazing production is what you get with ABBA. They also had a great and highly underrated band backing them up. ABBA Gold is a great place to start if you are still familiarizing yourself with this ba...
ABBA
If there is one album everybody should own, it’s Thriller. This album is one of the best selling albums of all time for a reason. Every song is great and MJ even had the amazingly talented band Toto playing on many of these songs. Just about every tr...
Michael Jackson
Led Zeppelin is the type of band that you listen to every album front to back. If you are lucky enough to find an album that was pressed during their heyday, you are in for a treat as these tend to have excellent sound quality. Regardless of what pre...
Led Zeppelin
Green Day is another band with an amazing catalogue. From their breakthrough album Dookie to 2024’s Saviors, you will be hard pressed to find too many bad songs let alone a bad album. This is another artist you can drop the need on the record and jus...
Green Day
Taylor Swift is everywhere for a reason. I’ve found that I can just sit and listen to her albums all day long. She might be overexposed, but not overrated. Taylor is an exceptional songwriter and continues to win over new fans all the time for a reas...
Taylor Swift
Nothing is more amazing than getting lost in a Steely Dan album on a quiet evening at home. Add a few of their albums to your collection and enjoy the right yacht rock stylings (not to mention the originators of that sound).
Steely Dan
The Moody Blues are album rock at its finest. They are a bit underrated in today’s world, but once you get lost in some of their early albums you will want to hear more. Fantastic band with lots of depth to the music and lyrics.
The Moody Blues
You can’t have a vinyl collection without a few albums from this amazing band. You don’t have to be a “deadhead” in order to appreciate their music. This is just another great rock band that tends to be a little
Underappreciated in today’s world. No ...
Grateful Dead
Classic Blondie is some of the best rock n’ roll I’ve ever heard. Their music from 1976-1982 was amazing. None of their albums from this time period will disappoint. Witty lyrics and catchy tunes make for a great listening experience!
Blondie
Jimmy Buffett is a little underrated in my opinion. He is very easy to listen to. I can’t actually name too many of his songs, but it doesn’t matter. Just put the needle on the record and enjoy. All of his albums are super high quality and fun to lis...
Jimmy Buffett
You can’t go wrong collecting albums from one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Their music was meant to be heard on an analog format. There is no shortage of great albums to check out. A good starting place might be their Hot Rocks greatest hi...
The Rolling Stones
The short and mighty career of The Doors is hard to ignore. There is more quality than quantity, but every album is a memorable journey. I very highly recommend getting their self titled debut, take an hour, and just listen. It is arguably one of the...
The Doors
Don’t underestimate the Peter Green years. There is some excellent work from this band prior to their self title breakthrough with the Buckingham/Nicks lineup. This band produced a lot of great music for many years. Although you see a slight decline ...
Fleetwood Mac
Much like The Rolling Stones there is a ton of great music to discover in this catalogue. Also similar to The Rolling Stones, you may occasionally come across an album that doesn’t resonate, but for the most part Elton John is somebody you will want ...
Elton John
Quality over quantity is a good way to describe the Billy Joel catalogue. You will love collecting his albums and transporting yourself back to another era. Although he stopped recording albums after 1993, there is plenty of quality albums here that ...
Billy Joel
Queen is well known for having a lot of classic hits, but their are also very consistent. Even an album like Hot Space, which wasn’t well received when it came out, has aged quite well. This is an excellent band to add to your collection.
Queen
