With only 3 albums, quality, variety AND quantity are important. I'm thinking - Big Star - #1 Record/Radio City reissue XTC - English Settlement Genesis - The lamb Lies Down on Broadway
Joanna Newsom - Have One On Me (3 CDs) Or: Chris Thile - Not All Who Wander Are Lost Richard Thompson - Mirror Blue Mahmoud Ahmed - Ere Mela Mela
This has been my #1 for about 20 years and running (especially if I can count the Rykodisc reissue from 1994). This is not only the best Al Green album, but probably the best R&B album ever recorded. I'm going to cheat a little and put a greatest hits/live album just because it's so ****ing awesome!
