caninesapien Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Do you own your favourite albums on vinyl? For some people I guess it's not a possibility, but I'm just interested whether you had favourite albums that were then bought by you on vinyl, or whether they became your favourites after you'd already bought the LP. I put it down to top 3 in the title but go crazy if you like. My favourite album of my youth was The Downward Spiral by NIN. I have the (average) Back on Black reissue. Not the picture disc. It sounds fine, so I like it, but I don't think I'd ever find the original press anywhere (although that said I found the original press of Pretty Hate Machine in a record store in London about ten years ago).

futures Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I own a good majority of my favorite records on vinyl, thankfully. Idk which I would put as my top 3, though. 1. Clarity - Jimmy Eat World That's all I can say with confidence lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadmonkey Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 If I don't own them then they are in my dad's collection LOLIncludes Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Who, Hendri, Sabbath, etc. My favorite albums also include The Downward Spiral (which I thankfully got an original press of), Badmotorfinger, Among The Living, Stranger Than Fiction, The only ones I don't have is Tool-AEnima, and Queens of the Stone Age - Songs For The Deaf.

jtcohenour Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 My top 3 are: 1) On the Impossible Past by the Menzingers. This album became my favorite after seeing the band live and buying the LP 2) Big Choice by Face to Face. I have loved this album since it was released and finally scored a copy on wax last year. 3) Nevermind by Nirvana. I have loved this album since it dropped and bought it on wax when I lived in Korea a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Maybe not my tippee-top 3, but the first few that come to mind: OK Computer - Got the Capitol re-issue. Ænima - Got the better of the two bootlegs. No original press. Loveless - Wish I had it, but nope. Might pick up the bootleg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarzioo_ Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I have my favorite album on vinyl after much saving and now it's being repressed so I'm getting another copy. I don't own duplicates but in this situation I will because it killed me to see it marked up so high on eBay and I can't go through that again. 1) black parade -mcr 2) commit this to memory- mcs And soon I will be getting three cheers -mcr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanmegamitensei Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 i have the boxset variant (along with the rest of the boxset of course) of toe's "the book about my idle plot on a vague anxiety" so that's rad. haven't put a whole lotta thought into what my top 3 albums of all time would be though, but that'd definitely be one of them.

Eliminator Jr. Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Weakling would be a huge one for me too. Can't see myself getting a hold of that one ever though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I think I have two copies of Spiderland (different pressings) and two copies of Perfect From Now On (wore through my first copy pretty significantly). I'm not quite sure what my other favorite album is today but I probably bought it if it's one of my favorites. Probably Rusty by Rodan.

paynegretzky Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'm not sure of my top 3 specific albums, but I own New Order - Substance 1987, Mars Volta - De-Loused and Nas - Illmatic, which would easily be in the top 5. I guess 2 important records I'd love to own are Built to Spill - There's Nothing Wrong with Love and Bloc Party's Silent Alarm but these are some white whales.
