Help Me Build An Album Collection Part 1

[MEbenhoe]

So here's the deal. I've been feeling lately as though my album collection is greatly lacking, and I would like to fix this by expanding with the help of OOT recommendations. The way I plan on doing this may seem odd, but its my plan so what the heck. What I want to do is expand by 1 letter of the alphabet at a time. What this means is first I'll do all albums I want to get by bands beginning with the letter A, then B, then C, etc.

So to start it out, I'd like to take recommendations on albums I should get by bands beginning with the letter A. If you could include along with your recommendation, some information about the album, such as genre of music or a short review that would be awesome.

To start things out, here's a list of albums I currently have by bands (or individuals) beginning with the letter A. Note: for individuals we'll go with if their first name begins with A.

A.C. Newman - The Slow Wonder(2004)
Aerosmith - Aerosmith (1973)
Alice in Chains - Facelift (1990)
The Arcade Fire - Funeral (2004)
Architecture in Helsinki - Fingers Crossed (2004)
Architecture in Helsinki - In Case We Die (2005)
Audioslave - Audioslave (2002)
Audioslave - Out of Exile (2005)
Avenged Sevenfold - City of Evil (2005)

As you can see, pretty limited. So lets hear what else I need to get.

AC/DC - Back in Black (at least)

ME,

Do you only want bands you can listen to in your hipster shirts and talk about at Starbucks, or all good music?

Abba - Gold. Seriously.

[CIncyHR]

excellent idea MEbenhoe,

As for A I dont have too much great stuff, only thing missing from your list I listen to on any sort of regular basis is Archers of Loaf. icky Mettle seems to be consensus best album and a good place to start.

Looking forward to all these threads.
