<p>Holy sht adam, you are so right with your albums. i love 1, 3, 4, and 5 on your list. i collect vinyl, and have an original mono Pet Sounds, and Takk... by Sigur Ros. I don't know if you have access to a turntable, but both of those albums sound incredible on vinyl. I can't listen to them on CD anymore.</p>
