The Monks - Black Monk Time 10. 13th Floor Elevators - Easter Everywhere Not bad. I would choose Freak Out by Zappa over WOIIFTM. No Dylan? Good call with Velvet Underground and Captain Beefheart. My list off the top of my head- Captain Beefheart-Trout Mask Replica Astral Weeks-Van Morrison Velvet Underground-Nico Dylan-Blonde on Blonde Are You Experienced-Jimi Kick Out the Jams- MC5 Nick Drake- 5 Leaves Zeppelin II Dylan-Highway 61 and a tie between obvious choices-The Doors, Sgt Peppers, Pet Sounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delete This Account Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 any list of top 60s albums without the Rolling Stones' "Let it Bleed," is bogus. and let's not forget the seminal, ground-breaking and angry: "Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison." j (music snob) w.

Pete Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) Are you experienced or axis bold as love..either one works for me. agreed. Any or all- but Jimi must be on that list! any list of top 60s albums without the Rolling Stones' "Let it Bleed," is bogus. and let's not forget the seminal, ground-breaking and angry: "Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison." j (music snob) w. Let it Bleed I strongly considered. Folsom is definitely a landmark album. What would be your other 8? I know I am missing some obvious ones. And Miles, Monk, Coltrane were putting out some legendary albums. These lists are always so hard to compile- it is tough to limit to 10- or a 100 for that matter Edited June 27, 2011 by Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These lists are always so hard to compile- it is tough to limit to 10- or a 100 for that matter i dunno, you're generally on the right track with Zepplin II and Beach Boys. i'd take The Doors out of the last-place tie, because as we move on in years, they become less and less relevant in my opinion (the Ollie Stone movie just about sealed that: ugh!) the Beatles have to be there as well as the Velvet Underground, only because the NYC scene must be represented. the list requires a balance of music that can still be echoed today (which is why The Doors are essentially out in my book, unless, of course you're a tea party fan ... double-ugh, and they're from my hometown. embarrassing.) but you're right it's tough. "Let it Bleed" and "Folsom" would be on my list, though. jw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Gotta start with the 2 Dylan's: Highway 61 Revisited Blonde On Blonde Then the 3 Stones: Aftermath Beggars Banquet Let It Bleed Then the 5 Beatles: Rubber Soul Revolver Sgt. Pepper's LHCB White Album Abbey Road Oops, that's 10 there, no room for anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Weren't the Shaggs daughters of the record producer and none of them could actually sing a lick? Record producers daughters? No. They grew up about 30 miles from where I am. The Shaggs wiki The story of the Shaggs on Broadway. Judging from the trailer they "tweaked" the Shaggs' music a little. The real stuff ain't exactly music theater material. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 i thought i was pretty knowledgeable when it came to music, but I can honestly say, The Shaggs as a band do not ring a bell at all...i suppose I have heard a song of theirs, but for a band that is being considered a major contributor for a musical decade, I feel somewhat embarrased... Record producers daughters? No. They grew up about 30 miles from where I am. The Shaggs wiki The story of the Shaggs on Broadway. Judging from the trailer they "tweaked" the Shaggs' music a little.

Rico Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 how about your top 25 Rico? I could add a lot more more Dylan, Stones, & Beatles but I won't. I will still stand by my top 10 though. Let's see on my Ipod.. today's 11 thru 25 are. JB at the Apollo Dusty In Memphis Are You Experienced Axis:Bold As Love Electric Ladyland Face To Face Village Green P.S. LZ LZ II Piper At The Gates Of Dawn Otis Live in Europe Astral Weeks Who Sell Out Tommy Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere I would also find a spot for 1969 Velvet Underground Live, but that didn't come out until mid-70's.

The Monks - Black Monk Time 10. 13th Floor Elevators - Easter Everywhere the only thing I am not 100% on is Zappa and both Beach Boys. I'd add Beach Boys Pet Sounds or Party and something by the Hollies, Godz, Gene Clark, Byrds, Millennium or Del Shannon. Maybe Rubber Soul instead of Sgt Pepper. BUT Forever Changes, Trout Mask, Monks, Shaggs and Elevators? Spot. On. I'll add my top ten...in no particular order: Godz: 2 Beatles: Rubber Soul Del Shannon: Home and Away Beach Boys: Party! Love: Forever Changes Paul Revere and the Raiders: Revolution Velvet Underground: ...and Nico Captain Beefheart: Trout Mask Replica Gene Clark: With The Gosdin Brothers Zombies: Odyssey and Oracle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Wow, this is a tough one...I couldn't cull it down to 10...so I didn't repeat any artists (sorry to the Stones "Beggar's Banquet", Beatles "Revolver", Dylan's "Higway '61") and I still couldn't weed it down to just 10...lots of good choices by you all (props for the 13th Floor Elevators and Gene Clark/Gosdin picks! And am I the only person alive who HATES the Beach Boys!) Part of the reason, IMO, it is so hard to choose from the 60's, half the decade (maybe a little more) was chalked with some of the greatest singles of all time...and then there was a move toward whole albums...I kind of grew up on 45's, so I am very partial to things like the Ronettes, and lots of country stuff from that time...but often, those pop albums consisted of 5 great A-side singles, and then 7 tracks of filler...had to leave of Donovan, because his best album was a greatest hits..."Season of the Witch" and "Sunshine Superman" are kick ass singles, but his albums, on the whole, are pretty lightweight... Here goes my "top 10" or so: Beatles "Rubber Soul" The Byrds "Sweethearts of the Rodeo Ray Charles and Betty Carter Leonard Cohen "Songs Of Leonard Cohen" Sam Cooke "Night Beat" Dr John "Gris-Gris" Bob Dylan "Bringing It All Back Home" Fred Neal "Fred Neal" (re-issued as "Everybody's Talkin'") Rodriguez "Cold Fact" Rolling Stones "Let It Bleed" The Ronettes "Presenting the Fabulous..." Velvet Underground featuring Nico (is there any album as influential?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 They had a album? All I remember of them is "Becks Bolaro". Yes, there was "Truth", and "Beckola"... "Truth" came out in 1968...great album...Stewart and Wood left to join the Small Faces, hijacking them from Steve Marriot, turning them into the Faces...would highly recommend "Truth". "Beckola" is good too, but not as good.
