Alright so a long time ago I made this "essentials by decade" series and looking back at them (along with topsters1 being deleted) I physically cringe at them so I want to make a do-over series.
Give some important and/or really good 60s albums We'll try to do one per artist and if we can't fill the whole chart I'll eventually allow them.

United States of America
If you could say years with them when posted that'd be appreciated.
Is it this one?
Yeah. I hate it.
I'm wanting to remake it.
Those genre tags are god awful.
Pussy - Pussy Plays (1969)
The Stooges - The Stooges (1969)
Silver Apples - Contact (1968)
Frank Zappa - We're Only In It For The Money
...
Red Krayola - Parable of Arable Land
1967
Might just migrate the previous chart into the new one and then just ask if people want swapouts.
Any objections to that?
Put the Mothers of Invention and TVU back on
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme (1965)
yeah the original one seems mostly fine honestly
love - forever changes
the zombies - oddessey and oracle
67 and 68 respectively
I'm gonna start adding from the old chart and if anyone has swapouts they're more than welcome to suggest as we go.
I mostly decided to do this for reformating/visual problems.
silver apples s/t was '68
The Band - The Band (1969)
>
No need to be rude I'm trying here :(
Big Brother & Holding Company [Janis Joplin]- Cheap Thrills
Sagittarius - Present Tense
Axe - Live & Studio
The Kinks - The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society
Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Captain Beefheart and Hus Magic Band - Safe as Milk
The 13th Floor Elevators - The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators
Ultimate Spinach - Behold and See
Jackson C. Frank - Jackson C. Frank
Bob Dylan - John Wesley Harding
The Sonics - Here are the Sonics
Country Joe and the Fish - Electric Music for Mindand Body
That's it for psychedelia
>Making me have to search for the years by myself while I'm busy editing the chart.
>rude
i just said a fact tho
rude.
Coming along nicely.
The Who - Tommy (1969)
Looking good, but I still highly recommend Axe - Live & Studio (a compilation, but the songs were released in 1969) because it fits a very important niche in experimental acid rock with female vocals. It's very iconic and will give the chart more underground credibility.
Also, you should add The Ronnettes - Presenting the Fabulous Ronnettes featuring Veronica (1964)
>Captain Beefheart and Hus Magic Band - Safe as Milk
>safe as milk over tmr
tmr is a much more important album
tmr stands on its own but Safe as Milk is more evocative of the time.
I honestly wasn't even sure about continuing the chart but it looks like there's enough demand for it. Should have an update soon.
Thanks OP! This board needs more 60's love
1969
I think tmr is much more representative of beefheart's style. It's undoubtedly his masterpiece and it ended up being a major inspiration for many music movements later on, like new wave. The only reason it wasn't as evocative at the time was Straight didn't have all the sales and marketing perks that Buddha offered for them with safe as milk. Not to mention, it's the better record of the two.
...
Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady (1963)
Bob Dylan - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (1963)
The John Coltrane Quartet - Ballads (1963)
John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman - S/T (1963)
The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night (1964)
Four Tops - Reach Out (1967)
Cream - Disraeli Gears (1967)
The Byrds - Younger than Yesterday (1967)
Buffalo Springfield - Buffalo Springfield Again (1967)
Junior Wells - Hoodoo Man Blues (1965)
The Monks - Black Monk Time (1965)
Jefferson Airplane - After Bathing at Baxter's (1967)
The Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat (1968)
Nice quads btw
tmr is more representative of Beefheart's style and it is his masterpiece, but can you play it in a Vietnam base camp and expect everyone to have a good time?
this
No repeat artists remember?
Anyway I filled in the holes.
If you want swapouts BE SPECIFIC and say what you want replaced and what with.
Jethro Tull swapped for Axe - Live & Studio
Rolling Stones for Cream - Disraeli Gears
mate you'd need a whole chart just for 1967 essentials
>Axe - Live & Studio
That album was released in 95. Disqualified.
Alright looks like we're done here.
Anyone up to do the 70s chart too?
Is the same thing haha
Well yeah, like I said it was mainly for reformatting and 2 people in the thread said to use the older chart.
And if you actually used your eyes there are several differences. Minor ones but still differences.
I'm trying to recall an all black 60s garage/psych rock band with a space related name? Any clues?
