Discs that stand the test of time
What discs should be in everyone's collection?
I can think of two -
Beatles Blue and Red Albums (ok, that's 4)
Carole King - Tapestry
Just trying to start a discussion!

Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
Journey - Greatest Hits
Cat Stevens - The Very Best Of Cat Stevens
I could go driving cross country with those 3 CD's alone.

I would also add to that:
Leonard Cohen - I'm Your Man
Tom Waits - Blue Valentine
Grateful Dead - Reckoning (if i had to just pick a single one of theirs)
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - The Final Studio Recordings
That's if i leave out all jazz. If i had to name jazz i would add.
Dexter Gordon - The Squirrel
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme (even though i listen to Meditations and My Favorite Things more)
Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain
Ella Fitzgerald - Mack the Knife (i think that is what the album is called - it is a live concert that is awesome).
