The thread about "hill and gully rider" got me to thinking about this. I wasn't buying many folk music albums in the fifties and sixties (I was a rock & roll child), so I didn't recognize some of the names in the thread. Others I recognized, but had never heard.

So I wondered, what do you all think of as "must haves" in a well-rounded folk music collection. I'll be heading off to the used record stores next weekend, and I'd like to know what to look for. I might even come across a gem, and I'd like to recognize it if it do.

I expect there have been threads on this before, but I can't imagine what to search on. Maybe someone would be kind enough to post some. Thanks.
