Josh brought up an excellent point in the trading forum, and I figured I'd post this here as well to ensure most folks see it. We need a list of "must have" recordings so that those of us who have had the pleasure of hearing The Holy Trinity can pass that experience along to others. Also, a lot of newbies are wondering where they should start and what they should download, a list would help them as well.
So here's the list. Please add dates if you know 'em, or list other recordings you feel are high quality or must have's.
* Stars beside the stuff that is aboslutely essential in my book.
** Two stars beside the three recordings which make up the "Holy Trinity" as it was called back in the AltFanTragicallyHip days:
