Nice to see Michael Hedges on the list, he was amazing. I also agree that 3 of a Perfect Pair was the best King Crimson album. Other great albums for me were various by Dylan, Beatles from Rubber Soul and Revolver on, Simon and Garfunkel, John Fahey's Blind Joe Death, anything by John Renbourn and also Pentangle, Leo Kottke's 6 & 12 String Guitar album w the armadillo on the cover, anything by Joni Mitchell, Patti Smith's Horses, Janis Joplin, Pierre Bensusan, Blind Willie Johnson, early Ry Cooder, Robert Johnson, Rev Gary Davis, Mississippi John Hurt, Mississippi Fred McDowell, early Bonnie Raitt, Miles Davis Kind of Blue and Sketches of Spain, everything by Thelonius Monk.... I must stop, but I know as soon as I hit post, I'll think of 20 more must list albums
