The 25 best vinyl records for gentleman - my reaction

- I came across this list in the Gentleman's Journal called The 25 albums every gentleman should own. I thought it would be fun to go through the list, see what it's all about, and see how many of those albums I own. You should do the same (it's also a good excuse to go through the record collection)

Just own the records you like!
I came here to say that - and that much of the music I listened to as a teen/young adult was at least in part due to a passive sort of peer pressure I like to call the herd instinct. I felt the need to own them all those years ago, now not so much.
Exactly. Listen to what you like unapologetically.
I guess I fall in Caveman status after looking at this list.
Owning the New York Dolls makes me a gentleman? ...news to me.
🤣
weird to me that they picked the second album
@chillepalmerz , it's hard to be a gentleman's album with the lead single being "Trash," I guess.
Gentleman if you own The New York Dolls. But what if you own David Johanson's legendary alter ego, Buster Poindexter?
@@dman38, sometimes gentlemen are feeling hot, hot, hot.
Roxy Music's "Avalon" is a gentleman's record. Tasteful. Goes well a glass of Chivas Regal.
Throw in some Max Webster for balance.
In the truest sense. Exquisite.
One of the best ever made. It's so chill.
That will get a guaranteed swoon from the ladies. (I like it too of course.)
“Must have” music is subjective. Collect what you like.
I don´t like albums 'I should own'. I like albums I really like 🙂
"Hell is other peoples' music." - Chef Tourettes
Pretty solid list! 😎
Sure as hell beats that latest abysmal Rolling Stone list, LOL. It was tragic. 😅
Painful indictment of Rolling Stone Magazine's lapse of reason.
"The Swine!" - HST
20 out of 25. A few on my want list. Fun video!
The New York Dolls’ first album is the one to own.
Absolutely agree with you on Physical Graffiti and Division Bell! 👍
Division Bell is a great album. Not better than Dark Side of the Moon though.
@@dman38 For me, that's the album that came out that helped me discover Pink Floyd, so it holds a special place in my heart. I also have a copy from Discogs coming this week! Literally one of my grail records!!
@@TheCollectorCave I need to pickup vinyls of both Momentary Lapse of Reason and Division Bell. Saw their tours for both records which were just phenominal. Love both those albums. A buddy of mine just gave me the remastered version of Meddle on vinyl. Side 1 is fantastic, side two they kinda go off the rails. Still interesting though.
@@dman38 I saw Floyd during their Division Bell tour. One of the greatest shows I've ever seen!
@@TheCollectorCave Yes, amazing show. I remember standing in line to get tickets for their Momentary Lapse tour. The two scheduled dates sold out before the line moved. While I was in line they added two more shows to their stop in Oakland, California. Got tickets for the fourth show.
13/25. Some necessities, some reaches. Happy with my collection and not motivated to get the ones I'm missing.
Frank you are a true gentleman! Love the channel! ⚡️⚡️
Thanks!
Apparently the meaning of a "gentleman" has drastically changed, with absolutely no mention of classical music; how droll.
😂
Oh ya!! That Mc5 live album is so heavy and sick!! That should be your next purchase at $5.00 for cd or even cheaper!! Get that!
I will keep an eye for it. Thanks for the recommendation.
I have Miles Davis - Kind of Blue. In fact, most of my records are jazz. I don’t think owning any of those records necessarily makes someone a gentleman. It’s a matter of personal preference.
agree I've got a ton of Jazz. Mainly electric Mikes and John Coltrane
To this list should be added Kenny Burrell MIDNIGHT BLUE, John Coltrane's BLUE TRAIN and Dave Brubeck TIME OUT.
@@Kane26510 I couldn’t agree more.
Hey Frank,
If you check out Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks, you should also listen to The Bootleg Series Vol.14 "More Blood, More Tracks".
These alternate takes come from the first studio sessions before re-recording the songs with additionnal arragements.
The original album has also some sped up songs versions, the bootleg series are not sped up.
Well you should definitly check both records 😊
Ok I've had fun house, kick out the jams, and To much too soon. All as a teen. Not trying to be hey look at me. I grew up around three colleges. So the record stores guided me that way. But where are some Isaac Hayes or Van Morrison. The first time my wife was ever in my car and I had Astral Weeks playing. She was like I love Van Morrison.
Odd picks on some of the artists. Would have gone with Raw Power for the Stooges and the first Dolls album instead of the second.
0 lol hey I have an idea for episodes you should go through your collection and show us what u have maybe like one row/shelf per episode love how u have multiple of same albums we had fun guessing how many of them u had again love your channel anxiously awaiting your videos every week with our tongues hanging out lol
That was fun, Frank. My wife & I played along. We have a handful on CD and Cassette, but only 3 on Vinyl (Pink Floyd, Miles Davis & Willie Nelson). Thanks for sharing. 🙏
Awesome - thanks for playing along. This was such an odd concept for a list, I had to jump on board.
@@Channel33RPM Agreed.
I sure enjoyed this video and watch your channel regulary
Awesome! Thank you!
Records for a gentleman? "More death metal with your Earl Grey, Sir?" "Yes, Jeeves."
I think the first New York Dolls album is better than the one on this list. Similarly, I think Sheer Heart Attack by Queen beats Night At The Opera. But overall the 25 on the list are pretty solid must-haves.
The Who - Live at Leeds
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Pink Floyd - Delicate Sound of Thunder
The Beatles - Rubber Soul/Revolver
Concert for George Soundtrack
Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street
Gizmodrome - Gizmodrome
Rush - Permanent Waves
Alice Bowie - Earache My Eye
Patti Smith Group - Horses
Betty Carter - The Audience with Betty Carter
The Clash - London Calling
The Big Chill Soundtrack
David Bowie - Station to Station
Jerry Garcia Band - Jerry Garcia Band (Live)
Traveling Wilburys - Vol. 1
Rory Gallagher - Calling Card
Cruella Soundtrack
Porcupine Tree - Signify
Genesis - Genesis
King Crimson - Radical Action to Unseat the Hold of Monkey Mind
The Angels - Liveline
Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
Supertramp - Paris
Lee Michaels - 5th
This list makes WAY more sense. I'd add and edit, but this one makes WAY more sense.
@@Kane26510, I left out:
Boston - Boston
Kansas - Two For the Show
Journey - Escape
Zappa - Live in NY (although not Gentlemanly)
Traffic - The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys
Yes, Alice Bowie remains.😅
As much as i want to put, 'Doug and the Slugs,' i can't.
Guess I'm a Gentleman then, I own all of these
Wish You Were Here is David Gilmour's favorite Floyd album and The Division Bell is super underrated.
It's so nice to see Ryan Adams get some love. Love Is Hell, the album mentioned, is the album that made me realize I needed to become a musician. Bought a guitar and started writing a few months later. Saw his jam band The Cardinals over 30 times between 05 and 09. So many memories.
He comes across as an asshole a lot of the time, but he's always been super nice to me every time I've met him. Got to toke it up on the bus with them once! Ryans manager convinced Domino's to stay open an extra hour haha! His catalog is so dense, not even mentioning the 20+ unreleased full lengths in my collection.
I started out strong but maxed out at 11/25ths of a gentleman.
That Hendrix Mono with the Tri-color - that's an original pressing looking label. I have an original stereo with the same label.
Thanks for the info.
Hey does that great logo mascot for your new sponsor have a name?
You are a true gentleman, Frank. But only in Canada since your records are those versions. 😊
Ha! A Canadian gentleman.....
Led Zep 3 is a good call, their best album that isn’t Physical Graffiti. The Kinks choice should’ve been Village Green or Lola.
Kinks - One For The Road....amazing tour!
I own 8 out of those 10, but most are on CD. Does that count? Haha! I agree with most here that you should only 'collect' what you like. I will confess though that I have bought a CD or record that I didn't necessarily like to only complete a collection from a band or artist. I've also gotten rid like that too though.
The only two I'm missing were Ryan Adams and Willie Nelson. I respect Willie and have a couple of his records, but don't see the need to pick up this one; Ryan Adams is just a hard no.
Ive been looking for a reasonable shape/price copy of London Calling for years.
And the three albums that every non-gentleman should own: 'Music for the Masses' by Depeche Mode, 'Disintegration' by The Cure and 'Unknown Pleasures' by Joy Division...
Well I have 1 out of 3 at least.
@@AlexMitchell-sj4sb Welcome to the Club
@AlexanderG-mi7ip hahaha thanks! I have Disintegration by The Cure, amazing album! I Don't know the Depeche Mode one but Unknown Pleasures, of course yes.
Proud to say I only own one album on this list (London Calling). I do enjoy MC5 & the Kinks though, but not enough to purchase any of their work on vinyl.
We enjoyed this one Frank! Very interesting as always. Pink Floyd is still our favorite Bad Boys and like you,”Division Bell”has a special place in our heart.-Chris🔥🙏🏻🎧
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have 11 of them. No Stones. Never was a big fan, but I do have the Rock and Roll Circus boxed set. I only have Live Who albums. Who's Next is great but not sure if I can listen to it any more though I do like the song My Wife which I think is on it, same for Black in Black. I have most of the Bon Scott albums. Like Cheap Trick but never loved them so don't own any. No Kinks, but I like them. Those were I guess the big ones that I don't have. I do have Dark Side Of the Moon, but like Frank not my favorite. Mine would be Meddle.
I was doing good for the first few. But missing more than I have. I lost track as you were going.
I own about 70% of the albums on this list. My prized album being a first issue of "Sticky Fingers" in mint condition. I may be one of the few that doesn't own a copy of "Dark Side of the Moon", I just don't like it. I would have "The Wall" or "Wish You Were Here" instead.
Well, that's it I'm not a gentleman at all, and I fell flat on my face , Marvin gaye what's going on was 1971 , not 1979 , great show as always thank you.
I think it's a pretty good list of albums to own. Don't think it has anything to do with being a gentleman, though. Lol! But you are definitely a gentleman, Frank! I had 4 albums from the list, but have listened to most of that music by streaming it. There's a lot of must own albums not on the list in my opinion. No Dire Straits, Boston, Journey, Tom Petty, or Springsteen from the Rock genre on there. And if you're a gentleman, wouldn't you own some Sinatra? I do! Just my two cents.
You ever want to part with some of those KISS multiples let me know. Giant KISS fan here.
Wow Frank, I have 5 of those albums.... so rather than gentleman, pehaps I am a bit boring ha ha !! Thanks for sharing !!
More scoundrel than gentleman? :)
12/25, I used to have an old copy Sticky Fingers with zipper and all but I gave it to my uncle who is a die hard fan of the Rolling Stones.
Ok here's the "controversial" statement: I don't have any KISS album and don't plan on getting any. Just not my thing.
I'll casually listen to it if it plays on somewhere, I mean I don't hate but that's it.
the only Alice Cooper I own is Killer and it's on 8-track and I'm good with that. Granted, if I were to find a copy of School's out or Million Dollar Baby in the bargain bin, I would grab them
Same with Bob Dylan, I have a couple, not the one listed, but will not go out of my way to get them
I think I should investigate more MC5 and the Stooges...
Led Zeppelin III is good, I have to copies, one old, one new but best of all is the reel to reel copy I own.
But yes, hard to pick from their other albums since a lot of them are very good.
Who's next? if you don't want to spend too much on a good sounding copy, try to find the Music on Vinyl version.
But still try to get an old copy just for the sleeve. The sleeve on MOV is horrendous. It's like they only had a thumbnail picture and they stretch to fit the cover...but at least the record sounds great. I also have an older pressing that sound pretty good so I'm set with that one too.
What's going on try to find the 50th anniversary edition, it sounds really good and the bonus tracks are nice to have.
Toys in the Attic, I didn't counted because I only own it on cassette
23 / 25. I don't have those albums by the Dolls and Ryan Adams but I have others by them. In any case, I know I'm a gentleman. I just walked out of a door that said so.
The Ryan Adams release stood out - didn't seem to belong, IMO.
@@Channel33RPM not with what was listed. If i was thinking "gentlemanly rock". I'd go with Steely Dan, Roxy Music or some of the prog bands.
I must be scoundrel. I do not own any of those records. I have the GnR, LZ III and The Who albums on CD, but that’s it. I have no plans to acquire any of those on vinyl.
I must not be much of a gentleman. I only have 15 of the 25.
You Own Miles Davis and Marvin Gaye and eschew MC5 and NY Dolls. You're my kinda guy. About the only disagreements we have are over KISS and The Doors. I own Destroyer and have no use for anything else.I own everything available by The Doors.I scored 21 of 25.
Hey Frank! I'm an avid 33er and smallish 150+ collection but don't own ONE of these albums, ZERO percent gentleman lol is it weird I'm kinda proud of that?!Love the channel keep it up
Thanks!
Fourplay first
Great friend with Sunday morning
There's a lot of good music on that list! I have 17/25 of them.
Going to take more than records to make a gentleman out of me!
I have 14 of the list.
Dean Martin - Italian Love Songs
I have all of these.... on Spotify. 😉
Own none of the above.... interesting fact: I don't feel like I am missing out....
You gotta buy what you like.
I’ve got 20 of these records, so was understandably upset to find out that I was only considered 80% a gentleman. Especially considering, I wear a monocle, a top hat and spend considerable time strolling summer lawns with my cane.
I think I have _The Dark Side Of The Moon._ However, it's on CD, somewhere.
Looks like you need to trade some records in!
I got 13 of these. Grew up with many of those.
As for New York Dolls. Their first album is like letting a wild animal out of its cage. Pretty sure it was the last album i left on repeat all day. Or for at least 7 or 8 hours.
I'm going to check it out this week. I've obviously been missing out.
If someone based a theme of 25 albums from my collection it would have to be "25 albums every bloody weirdo should own".😂
Surprisingly I own as many as 5 of these. Id probably only add Funhouse to it
I only own one album on this list - Marvin Gaye’s WHAT’S GOING ON. This list was very rock heavy which isn’t my genre. I would have expected a more diverse list.
The Clash London Calling is a classic. I have it on C.D but it's one of those records you have to, have to have on vinyl.
I also have 15/25 from the list. I'd hardly be called a gentleman, considering I'm female!
I have 13 of them including the Ryan Adams MOFI. I'm surprised that one is on the list
I was surprised as well.
I did about the same as you. Some of them are albums I have been looking for a copy. I will never make 100% though, because I would never buy a copy of the GnR album. Never been a fan of them. They rank up there with Taylor Swift to me. LOL
your copy of Are You Experienced is definitely an original as it's the tri-color label. I think the mono's are more valuable and hard to find
Thanks for the info. I should have looked it up on Discogs before showing it, but the whole video was largely improvised.
I doubt I fit into the gentleman category. I grew up in the 60's and that decade did not produce any gentlemen. However I do own some of these albums. I love the Miles inclusion. Instead of MC5, I put Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels in there. And where is Grand Funk Railroad Closer To Home? I have lots of Jimi Hendrix and as a Bob Dylan fan I am overloaded. Marvin Gaye is good. Thanks.
I own 20 out of 25 on CD. But I love watching your channel.
Thank you!
This is basically a mainstream type of list.If you get what Rolling Stone or whoever tells you to get
So true, there’s no way I could have my collection as it is paying modern prices. So many of mine even bought 2016 time are now 4 times the price and even then finding NM is so much more difficult now
To those of you that are not gentlemen: You still matter & you are just as great as non gentlemen. Have a great day. Party on dudes.
Ha! Truth.
Great list! Anyone should at least have listened to these albums.
The later version you have of The Dark Side Of The Moon sounds almost similar and very close to the original UK pressing.
You should obtain A Night At The Opera. It is the best Queen album as it is phenomenal. There isn't a bad track on it. I know you would love it Frank.
It was my Mums copy and she only played the infamous track on it. I used to play the album when my Mum and Dad went out once a week during the evening. It's the first album I heard that was so varied and stunning to listen too.
Good info and recommendation - thanks!
@@Channel33RPM Apologies Frank, it was late when I posted and I got my wires crossed . The info I imparted was not for TDSOTM, but the album Animals. Sorry. I would assume the 2016 reissue of TDSOTM would not be far behind the first UK pressing. The info was gleamed from a TH-cam Video by a Record Store Owner called Mike from The 'In' Groove Store in Arizona. He is a massive Pink Floyd fan and has paid thousands of US$ for very rare copies of Pink Floyd albums including test pressings.
He did produce a video about the many copies of TDSOTM he owned at some time ago.
Yesterday, he posted a 25+ minute video of the Black Sabbath first album and what he considers is the best sounding version. This was due to Rhino's recent reissue of the album. Have a look if you have the time as it is very interesting. Just put in search "The In Groove"
Im surprised Queen Innuendo isn't on the list
...I have a bunch, but I'm less a gentleman than you...
I got a kick out of your grabbing a stack of like LPs...THAT is where we're similar in tastes 😂...
8. Just 8. I’m only a third of a gentleman.
16 out of 25. 64%. I’d say seven or eight out of the ones I’m missing would be on a want-list . Some more strongly than others.
Just 12, but I am looking for Blood on the Tracks.
0/25. I guess I'd be the drooling, grunting barbarian of vinyl collectors 😂
You're in good company.
Only 5, 3 albums, and 1 each, CD and cassette. 😢
DAMN I FLUNK THIS ONE .I GUESS I'M NOT A GEANTELMAN .BECAUSE I DON'T OWN ANY OF THOSE LP'S.
DAMN THAT MAKES ME REALLY PROUD😀😀😀
LOL!!!!!! I thought that maybe, just maybe I might have 1 or 2 records on their list. I don't. I guess I'm not a gentleman but, I only listen to and buy what I like. I'm a big fan of Deep Purple, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Genesis, Kansas, RUSH and Yes just to name a few. I love jazz but own 0 Miles Davis records. I have always thought he is overrated and the album they have listed wouldn't be that good without the other excellent musicians that recorded with him. So, beings I'm not a gentleman according to that publication, does that mean I'm a moron? Personally, I Don't Care. LOL.
P.S. This past weekend I started taste testing Crown Royal again. Here it is Monday and again I still don't remember what it taste like. I guess maybe I like it (maybe a little to much)?😂
seems I'm only about half a gentleman. but the good half!!
hey frank..guess i'm not much of a gentleman..
currently i only own 5 on the list (before the purges, there were quite a few more)..oh well..
hope you and the family are doing well..peace to you all..rocky
Always good to hear from you Rocky. I hope you are well.
I have TOMMY (1975) on CD 📀. (For that matter, I also have the DVD.) 📀 I love ROLLING STONES "Flashpoint" (1991)📀. A gentleman? Well, I have a vinyl LP of ROMEO AND JULIET (1968). I have the soundtrack for FLASH GORDON (1980) 📀. (Soundtrack and film) APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION (1989) on CD 📀. As a gentleman? I would add JOHNNY CASH "Live At Folsom" (1968) 📀. On a personal note, I would like to add the ST for SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER (1977) 📀 and WAYNE's WORLD (1992)📀.
I own three: Miles, Marvin and TDSOTM... I guess being jazz funk lover doesn't make me a gentlement, but it makes me cool, so I am fine with that :))
I think about 60% gentle man 🤔😉
Well, I own 3 and steam some songs from 3 more
Well, as a lady, I'm glad this only pertains to gentlemen. I only own one record on this list, Ziggy Stardust. Most of the bands listed I don't like. 😛
love you!
💚
I am a man..but more than half on this list will never be on my collection 😅
You're off the hook :)
I own like 3 the Kiss one and the Cheap Trick one and Acdc. And why do you keep your records outside of the jacket? I thought about doing that.
Mostly for convenience. This way, the sleeves don't some off when I slide records into the shelf... and the records are easy to access.
I own 17k records and only have 6 out of that list. I generally don't go for wot is expected of a collector 😮
I assume they did it all in fun, but not sure....
Soooo 5 in and I’m a gentleman already?
15 / 25
13/25=52%
Some aren't my taste like I'm sure that other's will testify.
Keep on spinning Frank 🥴
I only have Love it to Death :D And this only on CD 😅
I'm only 8% gentleman. I just have Guns 'n Roses and The Beatles. 🙄🙄
16 of 25 for me. I’m more of a gentleman than I thought.
I have them all ... minus Ryan Adams... haha
The Ryan Adams album definitely stood out as not belonging.
