What’s The First Album You’d Buy, If You Started Your Collection Over?

[@eggsbeeped]

I just started mine with Michael Jackson Thriller. Inherited some Billy Joel and and Elton John. Bought new some Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Journey, Madonna, Springsteen Got some ok Soundtrack Albums. Have about 17 albums to start. Just a beginner here Digital is great when i'm driving, but at home collecting physical media is the goal. Just starting with cds again and vinyl will be strictly for the music i LOVE. Love all genre! What a great hobby!!

[@Bennyg1327]

Anthony your new album shines with captivating melodies, heartfelt lyrics, it’s a joy from start to finish. Amazing 🤩

[@muldoon67]

I Did this exactly 1 year ago. I now own 150LPs and that is a nearly perfect collection to me. It's a mix of albums that I used to own (Adam & the Ants, The Jam, SLF), along with classics like (VH1, Led Zep, Rumours, SGT Pepper). Very happy with what I have. Play them all and love every single one. No filler albums this time around.

[@seanrobertson379]

You have a great channel, Brendon. Anthony mentioned Morgan Wade a while ago and he got me into her music. Holy shit, she's amazing. Very grateful for that find - thanks Anthony! If I had to restart my collection, I'd buy Nirvana's Nevermind, U2's Achtung Baby, Queen's Innuendo and Alice Cooper's Trash. If I had some money left over, I'd look for Metallica's Ride the Lightning, Machine Head's Burn My Eyes and Deftones' Around the Fur.

[@treff9226]

Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti.

[@gizzy2403]

Yup! Same here

[@HaakonOdinsson]

Great album

[@brettschacht4183]

Yep, that or Exile on Main Street for me.

[@treff9226]

Top Stones album for me, some folks don't understand the rough and rowdy production, the raw and loose quality of the tunes fits the Stones song craft perfectly! 70's Rolling Stones is as good as rock and roll gets!

[@Nephilim-81]

What a concept. What a scenario to be put into. If I had to start over my album would be Peter Gabriel’s (Security) record. It is so diverse.

Love the Sound Exchange Sessions :)

[@rocioiribe5841]

Metallica's Black album. SIDE NOTE: i totally relate to Anthony saying he doesn't want the library anymore, i've never been a collector or a completist, i just want the things that move me, subtle but powerful difference.

[@D-One-3_Electronic]

Something Very Close To My Heart I'd have To Go Out And Purchase Straight Away To Begin The Collection Again Would Be... Pink Floyd's - A Momentary Lapse Of Reason & Animals. These Two Are Very Special For Me.

[@billblaze752]

A fav of mine as well.. and I saw the ‘92 STTG tour two nights back to back 🤘

[@antonnee]

Easy answer for me. The first record I would buy is Queen's A Night at the Opera; my favorite album of all time.

[@jimtoms7591]

Signals by Rush (my favorite Rush album) was one of the first albums I bought on my own as a 12 year old. I think I'd have to do it again. I also recall buying Van Halen II and U2's The Unforgettable Fire around that time.

[@Swullmark]

First off Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, and second, to answer the question, five albums I'd rebuild with. 1. John Mellencamp - Pink Houses 2. Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic 3. Van Halen - Van Halen II 4. Garth Brooks - In Fences 5. Pearl Jam - Ten There are a TON more I'd want to buy, but at the end of the day the ones I picked are all ones that just take me away whether that be to a darker place, a place of nostalgia, something peaceful or something energetic.

[@treff9226]

All outstanding albums!

[@LoriLeePattonMusic]

I think you mean Garth Brooks "No Fences" -- that was the first Garth album I bought many years ago when he only had two! Back then (early 90s), there was no streaming and CDs were about $15 and tapes $10. I remember debating at the record store between his self-titled debut album (since I really wanted "The Dance") and "No Fences," which had "The Thunder Rolls" and "Two of a Kind, Workin' on a Full House." Ultimately, I got "No Fences," but now thanks to used record stores I can get CDs for about $4 and I have five Garth albums!

[@Swullmark]

​@@LoriLeePattonMusic yes that's the one! My mistake on the typo, I've been listening to his stuff since I was a toddler (I'm a little over 20 now) and never actually got my hands on a physical copy sadly. Plan on buying one following the holidays though! Such a beautiful album, Two of a Kind, The Thunder Rolls, Friends in Low Places, Unanswered Prayers... my god it's perfect. My mother and I actually went to see him perform in Vegas back in May, kind of a bucket list thing for us, one of the most special moments of my life. Cheers! :))

[@yaminiramanathan438]

An ace way to start my day! I'm with you guys on this one. Stuff that moves me, edited discographies (if funds are unlimited) and new stuff I've discovered. So, a bit of Madonna, deffo Ten and Vs and as for new stuff, a young rapper called Ren and a band called Wunderhorse. Side note: haven't watched your videos in a while, loving the facial hair, Brendon! Side note 2: Morgan Wade of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fame? (just did a quick Google, wasn't sure who it was).

In the last three weeks, the reissue of Bush’s Sixteen Stone was a must-add. Complete 90s nostalgia, and a great album to boot.

Appetite for Destruction and Master of Puppets are the 2 albums I could never do without. Avenged Sevenfold Self Titled, Badmotorfinger, Vulgar Display of Power, Rust In Peace, Reign in Blood, Nevermind, Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, and Blood Sugar Sex Magik are other albums on my short list. If something happened and I could only listen to these albums for the rest of my life, I think I would be fine with it. Their is something to suit nearly every mood for me. Guns N Roses, Metallica and Nirvana have to be in my collection. These 3 Bands are the reason I got into music. As I have gotten older, I have found that the heavier albums in my collectio are the ones I often come back to the most. Appetite was the first album that really blew my mind. The Black Album and Nevermind also completely moved me like few album have ever done after the first listen. Master of Puppets took a bit longer as It was the early 90s and I was only about 14 or 15 at the time and just staring to explore heavy music. Another album I still love to this day is Blood Sugar Sex Magik by RHCP. I don't listen to it all the time but when I do, it moves me. I think it comes very close to a masterpiece. I have done think I have listen to many albums that diverse yet so great. Melon Collie and The Infinate Sadness might just be the most diverse album I have ever listened to. Most Albums I listen to have a similar sound throughout the entire album.

Trying to figure out the first album to buy in such a situation is a real conundrum! I actually experienced losing many (but not all) of my music collection twice before due to theft, but I had a much smaller collection then. Now I have roughly 200 albums (CD and cassette), which I've largely acquired through used record shops. I would have to start by selecting my favorite artists from several different genres so I couldn't choose just one. I've noticed that there are a few albums in my collection that are go-to choices when I can't decide what I want to listen to, such as Conway Twitty's "Silver Anniversary Collection" and Shenandoah's "Greatest Hits." I also have certain artists that I must have in my collection when I get in a mood to listen to them -- these include Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Judy Collins, and Andy Williams just to name five. So, I think I would probably need a bare minimum of 25 albums to keep me satisfied in the short run!

I had to rebuild at 19 and went with cd only. I went with the following: 1. Dells "There is" 2. Dells "Passionate breezes" 3. Babyface "A closer look" 4. Isley Brothers "Beautiful ballads" 5. Wayman Tisdale "Power forward" The manner of which I built it over the first year was 1/4 compilations of substance for variety with an eye towards artists with out of print works, 1/4 current, 1/4 classic, 1/4 rare and classic. The emphasis was on solid reissues and the currents that would likely go out of print. Common titles were always bought second hand. All of this was on cd with a high emphasis on soul, jazz, and a bit of country. Core favorites were acquired within the first year. Special orders were common. A notebook of anything of note was where purchases were decided and not in record stores. Impulse buys were weighted against knowledge of what you'd be giving up as funds were limited. Today I'm at 80,000 and expanded to imports, some classic rock, and full catalog jazz from the 50's.

[@jdmoney1000]

I'd have to go with the Uncle Sally - World of Hurt album. Can only be found at ebay.... And the new johnny Castle - before the flood album....

The first band i ever got into was Whitesnake with the 1987 album. Once i found out that David Coverdale had been in Deep Purple, i started listening to them. From there Rainbow was next followed by Dio, Black Sabbath etc.... but for me, if i had to start again with one album, there's only one choice. Led Zeppelins Physical Graffiti all the way. It's the most diverse and epic album ever made. There are many albums by many artists that rock my world and have special memories for me but there's something about Physical Graffiti that stands out from the rest.

[@bonniehorton370]

Hey Anthony. I started listening to Morgan Wade and she's great. If you haven't heard it, check out Tenille Townes Lemonade Stand. I think you'll like it.

[@treff9226]

I have Parallels as my second fav Fates album. They are so important to progressive metal and I also dig their early, straight up metal stuff. I've played the hell out of Asbury Park and Out Of Time, and the lyrics on Asbury Park show what's to come with The Boss writing song after song with deeply detailed and introspective lyrics - the man is a poet, a truly gifted lyricist with a keen eye for the human experience! I'm going to check out Midlake and Lonely Wild. Cheers!

[@andrewharrison4910]

Shotgun (Messiah Shotgun) - 'Live Down Decadencia Drive' would be my number one pickup followed by a completely different end of the spectrum album...Simple Minds- 'New Golden Dream (81,82,83,84) Both of these albums moved me immensely and continue to do so every time I play them.

I have never gone done 100% scorched earth sell my collection - the mainstay throughout has been Led Zeppelin "The Complete Studio Recordings" CD box set my mom got me, I have sold to that level and done it a few times. On this go around, what got me back into it was before vinyl caught fire again, I bought The Band - Capitol Albums vinyl box set for $70 on Amazon - now it is quadruple that number at minimum. I agree with Anthony I am desiring to get it to what I want and the issue there is I wouldn't want to breakup my The Rolling Stones discography, Miles Davis I got nearly 40 of his albums, so when you talk right out of the gate there is 70+ albums I have of both artists right there it becomes difficult to really reduce. I might be at that point as well where I might be able to prune 50 to 100 music pieces and be at 500 or so pieces and that is my bottom line. But to answer the question - it goes what you said in the video it would be what I would be in the mood in starting over. If I had to pick six pieces to start (assuming the music stores I go to have each): The Rolling Stones In Mono (vinyl or CD) Led Zeppelin Definitiive Collection (CD boxset from 2008 that is the Japanese Mini LP CD's with Obi Strips) The Clash Sound System The Band A Musical History Joe Strummer - 002 The Mescaleros Years (vinyl box set) Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Live At The Fillmore 1997 (vinyl or CD box set)

There's a Japanese version of Epiphany that was on the want list for a long time for a bonus cut. I was quickly on those Hipo-select titles and dealt with them directly.
