Or tell me a reason not to get one. lol. Keep in mind, this will be the first purchase I make of these particular artists.

Neil Young - Harvest/After The Gold Rush - personally I prefer Harvest Moon over its prequel, and Ragged Glory is a really underrated proto-grunge album, haven't heard Goldrush

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Pronounced leh nerd skin nerd
The Allman Brothers Band - Eat A Peach/Brothers and Sisters

only heard comps of both bands, not a particularly favourite genre (Southern Rock, that is) - I prefer ZZ Top

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood/Couldn't Stand The Weather

Texas Flood is great. Haven't heard Weather

Deep Purple - Machine Head

Only heard In Rock but if it's along the same lines, it should be terif.

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On

has a really samey sound over the entire album, great if you're in the mood

The Who - Who's Next

the best of their "arena rock" phase, but if you want a superlative Who, check out Sell Out!

Tom Petty - Damn The Torpedoes

pretty ok to above average Byrds-ish variant

Jethro Tull - Aqualung

haven't heard this yet, but you might like Thick as a Brick better but there's only two long songs there, though

Boston - Boston

no idea

Beach Boys - Pet Sounds

considered their best, but I prefer Summer Days (And Summer Nights) and Today over this, also Carl & The Passions' So Tough (I don't recommend this, though, it's an acquired taste, only one other person said it's good - Elton John)

BB King - I need to check my collection and get back to you

Jeff Beck - Truth, Beckola (Rod Stewart sings on both, though) and Blow by Blow are all essentials. Avoid Flash - he disowned it saying it's a session band jam thing.

Elvis Costello - (Spike/This Year's Model) - you're better off with Armed Forces or Imperial Bedroom my personal fave is King of America but you might only like it if you're into Americana

Steely Dan - Aja

Great stuff.

So in terms of Southern Rock, what band is considered the best?

Skynyrd, Allman Bros, ZZ Top, Molly Hatchet?

Neil?
Oh wait no, he's Canadian.
Strange.

Allman Bros...

:eek: Neil Young is canadian?! I had no clue, I learned something new today.

Yeah, I knew but I always forget he is.
It just doesn't seem logical.

Chant D'automne by Artesia and Inner Pale Sun by Arcana are the closest albums I have to that sound, and both of those have more of a gothic slant to them. Worth checking out if you haven't already, in any case.
