Ok, Here is a great question that will hopefully generate some good responses....

Name an album that you wish that you would have bought sooner than you did, because once you bought it you realized how awesome/great/etc etc that it is and you kick yourself for not getting it earlier. Also include the amount of time that passed between it's initial release and when you finally bought it or heard it.

Mine would have to be Paloalto's debut album, which came out in 2000 and I finally heard halfway through 2003. Shame on me.
