I'll go completely broke if I buy all the albums with 5-star reviews around here. So (since I am on a very limited budget)...Could somebody please tell me what albums actually deserve 6 or 7 stars? Thanks.

This is also highly dependent on what you own...like another poster said, we could recommend the best Yes albums but maybe you already own all of those. |

How many albums can you afford to buy!?! I'd also be boring as erlenst says and nominate Yes' CTTE as the one to start with...but you could do worse than buy up the top30 on the PA listing, maybe limiting yourself to just the top 2 albums by any one artist to save money (otherwise you end up withe.g. 4 Floyd albums etc). I'd then add in one or two other gems...Tools Lateralus is worth buying; Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds of Fire is a must in my book; and though its maybe not worth of 6 or 7 stars, I'd recommend The Mars Volta's "Frances the Mute" as an indication of truly progressive modern music. Oh, and Robert Wyatt's "Rock Bottom" is a cracker. |
