Title pretty much says it all, trying to find gems I've never heard and also stuff I maybe haven't listened to on headphones yet that I already have...

Looking for Non-Pearl Jam albums

my picks for best headphone albums(other than Binaural) are NIN-Downward Spiral and Broken and TOOL-Anema

fire away!
{if (work != 0) {
work = work + 1;
sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
else if (work >= 0) {
reality.equals(false);
work = work +1;
}system("pause");
return 0;}

    Hey, is this picture disc good quality? I've heard picture discs can be inferior.

    Television - Marquee Moon
    Bob Marley - Exodus
    The Wall

    As long as it's 180 g's or better it's all good!

    Do Make Say Think - & Yet & Yet
    Radiohead - Amnesiac
    Beck - The Information
    Pinback - Summer in Abaddon
    NIN - The Fragile
    RHCp - Stadium Arcadium (so good in phones - John rips it on this disc but it's very underrated by "legitimate" music folk)

    Anything sounds better in headphones i'm thinking. Unless you're booming the bass party style

    Yeah, I got my copy thru the fan club but I believe there's no difference in the quality. They were all picture discs 180g sounds great.

    Cool, I'm going to get it. Thanks. I wish Ænima was more readily available.

    The No Code lp is big, doesn't fit in usual poly sleeves. Mine is a bit warped but still sounds great.

    Some mentioned above that i have to give a nod to:

    No Code - PJ (though i give a personal nod to Vitalogy vinyl!)
    Up - REM
    Downward Spiral - NIN

    All albums that sound just absolutely phenomenal on vinyl with headphones!

    AND THEN
    This may be weird, but

    APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION - Guns N Roses

    Their is some guitar work on that album, that if you litsen to on vinyl with headphones just comes at you like crazy.

    I spent a summer when i was sixteen getting doped up on crazy nug topped with lots of way-too-good opium and then crashing out on a mattress with no frame ... listening primarily to Appetite on vinyl through headphones ...

    man ... i can't tell you ... it was probably my "formative" age and the aural manipulation of the substances ... but that shit sticks in my head. I swear you can hear like 3 or 4 guitar parts in a lot of that stuff if you listen.

    (also, on the subject of vinyl - and not necessarily headphones - Led Zeppelin III is ridiculously creamy. Mmm)
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?
