Good stuff. My collection is more Punk/New Wave. The classics were mostly on cassettes. No Bowie? ouch. Funny Stones choices, Beggar's Banquet is my favorite, and Rolled Gold is a pretty good best so far.

A mix of songs and albums there but I am noticing some overlap in our music tastes.

I’ll talk albums. Though I may have to continue later.

With Led Zep I’d delete the their 3rd album and insert Physical Grafitti. Three of their very best tracks are on that double album.

With Black Sabbath: Master of Reality, Volume 4, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Sabotage and Technical Ecstasy.

No Deep Purple ….. In Rock and Fireball.

The Pink Floyd. Relics, Ummagumma and Meddle.

Hawkwind?

RecentlyI have been listening to Electric Moon, The Machine etc.

I stick to YouTube through a decent screen, lots of good speakers and well positioned seatage.

Excellent Collection. Chicago II IMO is their best, Sold our Souls for Rock and Roll (early greatest hits is a good choice sans getting the library). Aqualung is a solid Choice. For CDB I liked Million Mile Reflections a little better. You got the best of Roger Waters' Pink Floyd, the two after are very good as well. My vinyl collection has gone thru many changes and I haven't reviewed it in several years. You have a solid start there.
