    I love radiohead's vinyls. Even better: Thom Yorke's solo album.

    I generally find that albums that were mastered for vinyl sound better on vinyl and those mastered primarily for CDs sound better on CD. Most albums released on vinyl these days are done so for promotional/limited edition purposes rather than sonic fidelity and a CD really is the best way to hear them but if you want to hear Harvest for Neil Young, for example, the best possible way, vinyl is the only way to go.

    Harvest is a good example actually. And After the Goldrush.

    My favourite albums to listen to on vinyl are:

    Minor Threat - Out of Step
    Husker Du - New Day Rising
    Big Black - Atomizer
    Big Black - Songs About Fucking (both of these greatly benefit from the added "warmth" since they have insanely trebly, harsh equalisation)

    I would imagine any MMJ would be great but Okonokos would be incredible! :D

    I've been told by many people that Tool's Lateralus sounds incredible on vinyl.

    Looks incredible too.

    Say what you want about Tool, they put an effort into their artwork and the Lateralus gatefold, double vinyl is spectacular.

    They all sound good on vinyl as long as the vinyl is clean and you have a good stereo.

    What's the point? The CD sounds like a vinyl anyway :p
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    I have "Elephant - White Stripes" on vinyl and it sounds really good.

    If you like the Beatles, get the blue BC-13 box set from 1978. It has all the original British albums in stereo made from the original stampers...puts the CD's to shame. Every serious music and vinyl collector should have that one.
