I heard of a lot of albums here for the first time, mostly classic rock stuff, which I bought just because it was on this list. Stuff like Forever Changes and Are You Experienced?.

I think you would like all of these Norman Smile Tumbleweed Connection is a really interesting album from Elton John, it's quite different from his other material. And the Indestructible Beat of Soweto is a great African compilation Smile Plus, that Ronettes album is pure gold.

I think the anthology of American folk music may blow you away. It's pretty fantastic. As for the others, I haven't heard them.

It's a good list. I discovered a handful of Dylan albums and a couple Rolling Stones albums off of here, as well as What's Going On. Before I could get too far down the list, though, I discovered this website and liked the overall chart here much better, so I started using it for recs instead. Still, the RS 500 is a very good starting place for someone looking to expand their musical horizons.
