OK, I am a new member and just ordered series 1 and 2 tapes. I always admired my dad's reel to reels and I have always wanted a way to buy brand new ones so the Tape Project is a dream come true since I was 12. That being said, I must say I do like classical and jazz but I find old school rock missing from the collection (except for The Band's Stage Fright). Here are my suggestions (sorry if some are obvious and may be difficult to license, but it's my 2 cents worth):
Miles Davis: Kind of Blue
Miles Davis: Sketches of Spain
Dave Brubeck: Time Out
Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon
Pink Floyd: The Wall
Led Zeppelin: first album (to hear "Babe, I'm gonna leave you" on tape would blow my mind!)
Norah Jones: Come away with me
Tori Amos: Little Earthquakes
Patrica Barber: Cafe Blue
Pearl Jam: Vitalogy
R.E.M.: Automatic for the people
Madeleine Peyroux: Careless Love
Alanis Morissette: Supposed former infatuation junkie
OK, what do you think?
