I recently cataloged my collection of vinyl records (nerd!) so I could have a better sense of what I have and what I need more of. Besides an amazing kitchen and plenty of time to cook, my other dream in life is to have a freaking amazing turntable and sound system with an extraordinary library of vinyl.I am currently 100 records strong. Below are the artists represented in my collection (favorites are starred). A good start, but much more music to aquire. Let me know if you have any vinyl recommendations. I obviously like many kinds of music, both old and new. And I'm always looking for great garage sale finds, so keep your eyes out for those ten cent records in great condition!

Concert For Bangladesh- my dad swears by the Bob Dylan B side. But it includes George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Ravi Shankar--- I bought him the vinyl for father day last year on ebay;)
My favorite vinyl was Pet Sounds by the beach boys
Also, if you are looking for a great book + super mix tape check out Nick Hornbys (high fidelity writer) book 'Songbook'.
it is really something.

also, this! My favorite CD by far this year. love Mward and Zooey!!
Sweet...I saw the Go-Getter at the Sundance film festival. M Ward did the entire soundtrack, and Zooey and he did "When I get to the Border" in the film. I'm pumped it's on vinyl.
Awesome. Beyond garage sales, try the Salvation Army and Goodwill stores... lots of good finds.
Pitchfork is quite overrated as a whole, but they have a great list of albums through the years. Here is their top 100 albums of the 70s: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/feature/36725-staff-list-top-100-albums-of-the-1970s If you want the classics, look no further.
