Everything by the Beatles, or at least all the releases in which all the songs were written by them.

Probably _Axis: Bold as Love_ by Jimi Hendrix. I would put _Electric Ladyland_, but “Voodoo Chile” sometimes bores me.

Probably something by Simon and Garfunkel, but I can’t remember what.

_Burnt Weeny Sandwich_\*, _We’re Only in It For the Money_, _Sheik Yerbouti_, _One Size Fits All_, _Them or Us_, and various other Frank Zappa albums. Maybe the record version of _Uncle Meat_, since the CD version has the 40-minute film excerpt.

_All Things Must Pass_ by George Harrison. Although there are songs on the CD that I can’t stand, like the painful redone version of “My Sweet Lord.”

_Dis is Da Drum_ by Herbie Hancock.

Probably _Deja Vu_ by CSNY. I would say _Crosby, Stills, and Nash_ by CSN, but it has that horrid “My Lady of the Island” by Graham Nash. His songs are usually my favorite compositions, too.

_Surrealistic Pillow_ and _Volunteers_ by Jefferson Airplane.

_Mariachi from Mexico_ by the Mexican Mariachi Band, conducted by Lopez Varanga or something like that. _Finnsh Sing-A-Long_ by the Finland Singers.

And to whomever said _In the Court of the Crimson King_ by King Crimson, what about the end of “Moonchild”? That’s what, like 20 minutes of what sounds like chimpanzees let loose in a room full of percussion instruments! The rest of the album rules.

Oops, forgot to put the \* for _Burnt Weeny Sandwich_, which is that I’m not sure if I like “WPLJ” or not.
