Which album to buy?

Okay, I read enough around here to know that most people here hate posts like this, but I need some help, so I figured I'd at least try.

I need some new music, but I don't know what to buy. I'm debating between:

--A Catered Affair
--Lord of the Rings
--South Pacific
--Passing Strange

Any suggestions? I'll have all of them eventually, but now that I've got some extra money to spend, I don't know what to spend it on first!

And if there are any other recording you might think I should purchase over one of those, please let me know.

NOT Lord of the Rings.

I like the South Pacific recording a lot...
Either South Pacific or Passing Strange. I vote the former.

Passing Strange!

Listen to the samples on iTunes to see which one you think sounds best.

My recommendation is Passing Strange.

Expalin to me how it's 'revolutionary'?

Definitely consider The Adding Machine recording as well! I have added 6 (the four you mentioned + AM + ITH) to my collection this week and it is one of the best

The score for Lord of the Rings is gorgeous. Listen to snippets of The Road Goes On, The Cat and the Moon, Star of Eärendil, Lothlorien and Now and For Always. I was never a huge fan of The Lord of the Rings books or films, but I absolutely ADORE this music (I even enjoyed the show in London). I honestly don't know why anyone would steer you away from it.

You can't go wrong with South Pacific.
