Recommend an LP to a Millenial.

Hatful of Hollow by the Smiths?

I guess it depends on the type of kid you are playing it to.
I'm glad that someone else thinks that's the best Smiths album even though it wasn't really a proper album. The critics always go for 'The Queen is Dead' but 'Hatful of Hollow' is definitely superior. Captured the rawness and energy of the early gigs and it wasn't all glossy and overproduced because most of it was just made up of live radio sessions.
 
Laurie Anderson's "Big Science", Damian Marley's "Welcome to Jamrock" and Futureheads' "Rant", with a note saying these are the same as every other type of music, but different.
 
The first Millenials are about to hit 40 (or maybe have) but if I had to recommend something to an 18 year old,

Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter
Jimmy Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower

both before my time but I think they transcend generations
 
Where do you start?!!! I keep telling the teenagers that reside at Hotel Ingbar to delve into a few classic albums, I did as a teendger and found some music I still love today.

Jeff Buckley - Grace, would be my suggestion if I limit it to one album.

When I was a teenager my mates got me into some of the older stuff, which had come from their parents, I found it a lot cooler to listen to if it was suggested by my peers than my parents.

Saying that my dad always had house of the rising sun on in the car which I still love today. Rhinestone cowboy not so much!

My dad didn't have a lot of music in the house, but what he did have wasn't really worth listening to. It is hard bringing your mates round to listen to Nelson Eddy singing Rose Marie and still hold any credit.

I'm still not sure what this thread is actually about because I'm a bit thick. I'm approaching fifty. Have I got this right? I'm supposed to recommend an album from my generation to a youngster?
