This is tricky. I reserve the right to replace any album in my selection at any time, with the exception of Astral Weeks and Physical Graffiti (both are just too good)!

Astral Weeks - Van Morrison
Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin
Horses - Patti Smith
Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
Wild Wood - Paul Weller
Exile on Main Street - Rolling Stones
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
Aqualung - Jethro Tull
The Joshua Tree - U2
New York - Lou Reed

I could go on and on with Steve Winwood, more Zep, Sex Pistols, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, John Coltrane...etc, but alas we're allowed only 10!

Well, since we're entering into classical territory...

Prokofiev - The Love for Three Oranges (suite)
Prokofiev - Piano Concerto #1
Stravinsky - Petroushka, Firebird, Rite of Spring
Beethoven's late quartets (op. 132, 135, etc)
Beethoven's 9th - Herbert Von Karajan 1977 recording
Beethoven's 5th
Beethoven's 7th
Beethoven's piano sonatas (all)
Beethoven's EVERYTHING
Mozart NOTHING
...

Erik Satie - Sarabandes, Gymnopedies, Nocturnes
Bartok - Everything including the Concerto for Two Pianos, Percussion and Orchestra
Brahms - all works for 4-handed piano

...

And for a forgotten, stunning masterwork:
Chausson - Concert for Violin, Piano and String Quartet op 21.
This one is a winner.


Hi Flavio
I'm glad we are in accordance (on this one, at least!! :D ). Yep, love Beethoven (managed to find the full set of symphonies on DGG Karajan, for £6 yesterday), and totally agree about Mozart. Obviously not a composer to play on a Lenco :lol: But do people really need an idler drive to appreciate serious music? Probably :shock:
kind regards, Cats
there are many churches, few are full.....

Well, all of my vinyl is Beatles and related, pretty much, but I did throw in a couple of others. I could easily list all 10 as Beatles :) These are my favorites on vinyl (music-wise, not collectible-wise, but I noted if I had a favorite):

Beatles - Abbey Road (Mobile Fidelity)
Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour (mono)
Beatles - Let It Be (rare white vinyl)
Beatles - White Album (Apple, with all posters, numbered cover)
John Lennon - Imagine
Paul McCartney - Back to the Egg (Wings)
Paul McCartney - Ram
George Harrison - All Things Must Pass
ELO - New World Record
Badfinger - Straight Up
U2- Joshua Tree

Of course, my Holy Grail is a Butcher Cover. I am actually a huge alternative rock fan, but all of that is on CD.
