Best albums of the 60's
 

I've been spinnin' nothing but 60's jams lately, so how about a thread on them?

Here's a few:
13th Floor Elevators - Easter Everywhere
Beatles - Rubber Soul
Blue Cheer - Vincebus Eruptum
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan/Highway 61 Revisted
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Willy & The Poor Boys
VU & Nico (duh)
Red Krayolas - Parable of Arable Land (the birth of noise-rock?)

There's more, so name 'em.

i goofed - sorry.

anything by 13th Floor Elevators ranks highly... the VU records. "Copperfields" and "Wheatstraw Suite" by the Dillards. stuff by the Byrds, the Beatles, Gram PArsons/Burritto Bros. Iggy and the Stooges. Can / Amon Duul / Ash Ra Temple.

than the obvious (VU, dylan beatles etc...) id say
the stooges-s\t
the fugs-second album (one of my favorites)
frank zappa and the MOI-freak out!
i think cans first album is from the sixties...
the doors-s\t strange days
i dont think that there was much bad music during that decade...

It's really too difficult for me....

The Temptations, all Motown, Miles Davis, Them, Donovan, Jeff Beck, Yardbirds, all of the Zappa shit....many more....geez....that's my favorite era....

arguably the greatest american band of the 60s:

THE best album of the 60s. PERIOD.

I forgot the Byrd's and Dylan !!! Dayum !!! My bad....a thousand licks !!!!! :eek:

The Mothers of Invention - "We're Only in it for the Money"
The Mothers of Invention - "Freak Out"
The Beatles - "Let it Be"
King Crimson - "In the Court of the Crimson King"

AMM - AMMMusic
The Fugs - First Album
VU - White Light/White Heat
White Noise - An Electric Storm
The Monks - Black Monk Time
Godz - The Third Testament

velvet underground

all of their 60's albums.

1970

I also think it was released in 1969 ...
Ash Ra Tempel released in 1971 their selftitled

Flawless band.

What other band has a guy playing nothing but electric jug?

trout mask replica and the madcap laughs were both made in 69 but hard to say when they were released... along with white light/white heat those are 3 greatest albums ever made imho.

Tim Buckley - Happy sad, Blue afternoon
Leonard Cohen - Songs of Leonard Cohen
Van Morrison - Astral weeks
Scott Walker - Scott 4
The Beach Boys - Pet sounds

my copy says 1970, but wiki and all music guide say 1969.

My other faves have been mentioned, but add these...

The Outsiders "CQ" (the Dutch band, not the Cleveland one-hit wonders)
Kim Fowley, Jr. "Good Clean Fun"
Albert Ayler "Spiritual Unity"

and especially...

Ruth White "Flowers of Evil"

there's too many...although I used to have a top twenty list made that accidentaly got trashed with a folder that contained many other lists.

Really? Trout Mask Replica 1970? Well....ok scratch that one, should have looked on my vinyl, thought it was 1969.

Jandek anyone? Did any of his stuff come out in the 60's, or am I way off on that one?

A Love Supreme, Ascension
VU
Electric Ladyland
Everybody Knows this is nowhere
Stooges
The Who Sell Out, Tommy
Beggars Banquet
Rubber Soul

about 9 years off.

Cream - Disraeli Gears

i love this album, so "entertaining".
many good ones already mentioned. i must say i love single songs rather than full lps from that decade.

damn
