Default Best Vinyls

So, I was listening to my SS vinyl, and to tell you the truth, I couldn't really tell much difference between it and the CD (hate to be the bearer of bad news)- perhaps at most a little bit clearer...

However, other vinyls I have bought have had a clear and huge difference over their CD/Digital counterparts. So question I pose is what have been your most impressive vinyl purchases. A few off the top of my head:

- Tim Buckley- Greetings from L.A.
- Metallica- Master of Puppets (45RPM)
- The Arcade Fire- Neon Bible
- Tool- Undertow, Lateralus
- PJ Harvey- To Bring You My Love
- Sigur Ros- Aegetis Byrjun/Untitled
- Tokyo Jihen- Variety Analog (yes, it indeed sounds better)

All of these above are significantly richer, bassier and sound like they have more 'heart' to them.

I want to buy some more but kinda getting a bit annoyed with the fact that some really do sound like the CDs, regardless of what people may think.

So what are your best vinyl purchases? And which ones should I avoid?
