Here is a listening list we’ve used for a while on a particular module concerning recording techniques. This is getting a little old, in so much that some amazing other material could be included, but what? Bear in mind that the idea of this list is to make very explicit some really interesting recording techniques both in terms of hands-on technique (mic placement, room usage etc) and also philosophy (why).

Listening List

• Sergeant Peppers - The Beatles (1967)
• Discovery – Daft Punk (2000)
• London Calling - The Clash (1979)
• Band on the Run - Paul McCartney & Wings (1973)
• Bran Van 3000 (1997)
• The Black Album - Matallica (1991)
• Rumours - Fleetwood Mac (1977)
• Blood Sugar Sex Magik - Red Hot Chili Peppers (1991)
• Original Gold - The Beach Boys (1999)
• Wish You were Here - Pink Floyd (1975)
• 20 Greatest Hits - Aretha Franklin (1987)
• I Should Coco - Supergrass (1995)

• Nimrod - Green Day

So what would you add to the list, and more importantly why would you add it? Thanks in advance.
