I own literally every single thing he ever recorded, along with tons of bootlegs. I love it all. His phrasing, vocal prowess, and overall musical artistry was truly awesome.
His output was staggering. So, owning all of his official released means something like 120 CDs without any duplication. Amazing to think there are some recording artists who had more than this!
Yes, Wee Small Hours is beautiful. Its one of the first true 'concept albums'. Just a glorious work.
My all time favourite Sinatra albums would probably be (in no particular order):
SINATRA AND STRINGS
Point of No Return
Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim
Francis A. & Edward K.
But... there are SO MANY other beautiful albums and songs. Just check out WATERTOWN sometime. Its uncharacteristically modern sounding for Frank. Its sad and wistful, but really beautiful.
My general thinking is that if you don't like Sinatra you just haven't heard the best of Sinatra.
My musical tastes are pretty wide. I love Frank and all his peers like Dean Martin and Ella Fitzgerald, but I also love the Stones, Zeppelin, The Who and countless other bands.
Classical is huge for me as well, and, in fact, its the genre most represented in my music collection.
I can't imagine living in any era prior to the existence of recorded music. Can you???
