Ok, so TAS buyers guide 2010 is out. Their list of TOP Lp's and cd's is primarily based on audio quality and for testing equipment. Can the general readers and audiophiles recommend their Top 3 or Top 5 or Top 10 LP's that are Great in sound AS WELL AS GREAT IN MUSIC? Music that general public listens to as well. Not the stuff no one has heard of and not the super hard core classical thats everywhere. Just general everyday music. It would be of great help in buying LP's(most are $30 to $60 each on average).

buy older records at a used record store/ as in rock albums they tend to sound more dynamic than the "quiet sterile" reissues..I .especially dislike the rhino ones.Have wasted a lot of money on reissues and been disappointed. Have had some great finds at used record stores.
