• all the above suggestions are excellent choices, but i would recommend staying away from inner worlds or adventures in radioland which may come up in your searches. those albums are not the same lineup and as a huge mclaughlin fan i would say those albums are some of his worst.  also if you ever get into the band and want to hear some of there live material (which really is something incredible as the songs are way more intense than on recording) just pm me and i would gladly send you some.

• 1. The Inner Mounting Flame
  2. Birds of Fire
  3. The Lost Trident Sessions
  
  You can\'t go wrong with any of these, but start with 1 and/or 2.

  You can\'t go wrong with anything.....

  This is an interesting statement. you could say it several ways:
  You can go wrong with nothing
  You can\'t be correct with anything
  To be correct, do nothing
  You\'re wrong if you do anything
  etc.
  
  yep, I\'m easily entertained at 4am.

  now i stand no chance against the brains of a certain Paul Ryan,
  but wouldnt it be "you can\'t be incorrect with anything"?
  to be correct do anything
  you\'re wrong if you do nothing?
  
  i\'m sorry, i\'ll sign off now
