Well, yeah. Even at the time, there was far far more music published than anyone could buy, especially considering the existing back catalogs. Why wouldn't you just buy the good stuff? This isn't 'cheating.'
If you were/are careful in your purchases, you could/can find plenty of albums that are wall-to-wall magic. Some that I enjoyed in my youth:
- Beatles, Revolver
- Beastie Boys, Ill Communication
- Led Zeppelin IV
- Led Zeppelin, Houses of the Holy
- Metallica, self-titled ("Black Album")
- Nirvana, Nevermind
- Pearl Jam, Ten
- Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon
- Radiohead, OK Computer
- Snoop Dogg, Doggystyle
- Weezer, self-titled ("Blue Album")
