Recommend me some records

For a graduation present, my grandparents got me one of those radio/cd/record players. I have wanted a record player for years, and now I finally have one. Now, there’s a new problem, I have no records.

What are some good ones? I have a wide range of taste. I like things from Johnny Horton to the O’jays, but I have never been into the rock music. I am open to nearly any and all suggestions.

If you need me to narrow the field down, I’ll do the best I can.

I suppose one reason to buy records these days is for the nifty covers, so that’s how I’ll base my recomendations.

Jethro Tull- Thick As a Brick. Includes a little parody newspaper. How cool is that?
Jethro Tull- Passion Play. If I remember correctly this one came with program notes for a fake ballet of sorts (hey! that rhymes…well, the last part does).

Alice Cooper- School’s Out. Cover opens like an old school desk. And I believe these were originally released with a pair of paper panties included. Groovy.

And of course there are the particularly nifty picture discs. I’m perfectly willing to buy those regardless of who’s the artist. :stuck_out_tongue:

Funkdoobiest Brothes Doobie
MC Solaar Prose Combat
Lou Donaldson Hot Dog
Beastie Boys — Any damn album you can get
Deelite — ditto
Dimitri From Paris A Night at the Playboy Mansion

Iron Maiden- Killers
Motley Crue- Shout At The Devil

That’s all I can think of right now…
