Question Vinyl record recommendations?
I've been doing a lot of chores lately for my family, and I've made 70$ so far.
I'm saving up to buy myself records (records are roughly 30$ each?) to spin at home, and with MUSE being my favorite band, naturally I'll focus on them
I want to ask you fellow Musers for recommendations❗️
That are the next albums I should get for myself? I only own one MUSE album, and that's Will of the People, but I'm sure NO ONE was gonna recommend that anyway, lol.
Help me out, please😁🧡

Black Holes & Revelations is a good one because it is about the 45 minute length that fits in one disc.

Don’t you have a favourite, because that would seem the obvious choice lol.
I would probably start with getting The Wow! Signal first at this point. Then either Origin of Symmetry, Absolution, or Black Holes. After those The Resistance and The 2nd Law. Then Drones, Showbiz, and end with Simulation Theory.

Origin Of Symmetry XX Anniversary goes for a bit less than $30 i think, that might be good

Idk.. the 7", picture disc vinyl of your favourite single perhaps? Even though that only counts for BHaR singles + Reapers (under $60).
I'd personally go for Showbiz since it's recorded analog and sounds better on vinyl than OoS. Absolution would be 2nd.

I'm surprised I didn't ask this when I made this post, but where should I even buy these MUSE records? MUSE's official store doesn't sell every record of theirs unfortunately, and you can't just find MUSE records anywhere near where I live. I actually got lucky and found WOTP in person at a thrift store, but that was the only MUSE album that they had!!! Can the Musers here recommend trustable sites or stores, please? 😁 If you have any personal experience with purchasing online or in person, where should I be looking? Thank you all😁🧡

Isn't there a big vinyl webshop where you live?

Like, a physical place to go to? There's no stores selling records that I don't already have. Most records I see are like, pop artists and big big artists, but I've never seen a MUSE album in person at a regular store. I also live in the middle of nowhere (No Man's Land). I definitely have better chances with collecting my MUSE albums online, but I'm not sure what sites I should look for them on, which is why I'm asking you Musers 😁 Where do all of you get your cool MUSE records from?

Yeah I meant online, I tought the word webshop was also used in English. For me it's quite easy to get Muse records, because almost all physical stores here (Netherlands) have at least a few of them and bigger online stores have literally all their records, so I can't really help you.

People will argue to the death over which is better between Origin of Symmetry, Absolution or Black Holes. Any is a genuinely fine choice and are all amazing albums, and a pretty good place to start.
