I didn't get seriously into music until college. Grunge happened and that dominated the musical landscape of my college days. I also got into jazz, but I was under the influence of Wynton Marsalis, so I thought fusion was crap. I've grown up a lot since then. Now I just think that most fusion is crap.
That's why I asked for recommendations. You can still hear most classic rock singles on any AOR station in the country. That means unless you want to sync Pink Floyd to The Wizard of Oz, the only albums you need are albums full of great songs that don't get played on the radio.

I was 9 when it was recorded. I didn't discover it until HS, when I, by grace of being born in Chicago, fell deep into the blues. That journey led me to the Allman Bros. and a veritable paradise of beautiful music that allowed me to completely bypass most of the 80s and 90s until they had a chance to sort themselves out and let the cream rise to the top.
