[santanusinha]

Yesterday, my friend bought a good (used) denon CD/SACD player from akihabara and attached it to his denon amp. So I sent him these music recommendations.. thought I'd share these with you guys in case it's helpful to anyone ...

Jazz:
1) Blue Train (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2) Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
3) Kind of Blue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
4) Shakti (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blues:
1) Riding with the King (B. B. King and Eric Clapton album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2) The Ultimate Collection (B. B. King album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
3) The Anthology (19471972) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
4) Unplugged (Eric Clapton album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Misc (Gospel/Country):

2) Raising Sand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
3) 16 Biggest Hits (Johnny Cash album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
4) Walk the Line (soundtrack) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - This
is a movie sound track, but you'd be pleasantly surprised as to how
good this is

Rock:

7) Before These Crowded Streets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
8) The Joshua Tree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
9) Ten (Pearl Jam album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
10) Parachutes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Obviously many are missing .. he already has some of them .. but just in case i'll mention some more:
1) Dark Side of the Moon (Pink Floyd)
2) Nirvana
3) The Who
4) Rolling Stones Live
5) The cream of Eric Clapton
6) Something by European jazz musician Tomasz Stanko..

I'm sorry but I don't listen to western classical, so no recommendations on that front.

Feel free to add to this list .. maybe we can build a good DB of recommendations for western music. And no flame please for missing your favorite artist/album Just add whatever you like...
