The Sonic’s – Here Are The Sonics
-an absolute astounding album.
Should be a favorite of tonas, as they are from Tacoma.We The People – Decleration Of Independence
Also a great garage rock album. As with the Sonic’s it makes you wanna sing, dance, drink beer and smile.
Smile a lot.The Kinks – both Are The Village Green Preservation Society and Arthur(Or The Decline Of The British Empire,) are fantastic archetypes of british pop at it’s best.
Creedence Clearwater Revival – Willy & The Poor Boys.
One of the best albums ever. Period. Effigy is distilled darkness.The Beatles. Well, what can you say about the Beatles ? Quite a lot to be honest, but I’m not gonna.
Magical Mystery Tour for Strawberry Fields. Revolver is a hit parade.
I’d like to pick Let It Be because of Across The Universe, a song that is THE SONG. The album was recorded in the 60’s, but sadly it wasn’t released until 1970.These were the first that popped into mind. With that said, the 60’s is maybe the decade with that saw the birth of about a gazillion fantastic 7".
Yes.
Every album by Herman’s Hermits. I know there are about 7,003 albums I should be mentioning but I’m temporaily incapacitated by the pure awesomeness of them.
Everytime I see you looking my way
Baby, baby, can’t you hear my heartbeat?Could we cross check our lists ? I only came up with 7002 albums that deserved mentioning, and maybe that elusive 7003rd album will unlock a magical world hitherto unkbeknownst to me.
The Shangri La`s-Best Of:they were only 15 to 17 years old during their heyday.Mary Weiss was one of the coolest chick singers of the `60s.From the New York Dolls to Sonic Youth,many loves these girls.
And when they played Seattle,The Sonics backed them!Townes Van Zandt-Our Mother The Mountain and self titled:Like a Texas Leonard Cohen,a poetic hillbilly and rambler.
Etta James-Rocks The House:one of the greatest live albums.In Nashville in 1963,Etta sings like a wildcat to an out of control audience.
SG, you are a wealth of musical knowledge. It’s like you just cracked an egg of knowledge all over our faces.
For sure, SG is a musical encyclopedia. It amazes me the knowledge he has stored in that brain of his.

"maxini" wrote:Velvet Underground: S/T, White Light/White HeatOhhhhhhh…I completely forgot that VU was relased in the 60’s. Shame on me.
Extra credit to the swedish chef.Family-Music In A Doll`s House:sounds like it might be the first prog rock album,Roger Chapman`s vocals sound like an elf on crack
Bill Evans-Sunday At The Village Vanguard:piano jazz at it`s best,the bassist died 10 days after this record.
incredible String Band-The Hangman`s Beautiful Daughter:freak folk by two scottish weirdos.I don`t know what these guys were smoking.Their fans range from Robert Plant to Steve Malkmus.
Albert Ayler-Live In Greenwich Village:Mike Watt is a big fan of this record.Ayler`s jazz was like a marching band on acid.He died mysteriously in 1970,thought by some as suicide but murder by others.Tom Verlaine of Television used to say his guitar playing was trying to emulate Ayler`s sax playing.
Rolling Stones-Beggar`s Banquet and Let It Bleed:the acoustic songs on Beggar`s was strange in a time when bands were turning up their amps.The disturbing lyrics on Let It Bleed might have been a busting the utopian hippie bubble.
John Coltrane-A Love Supreme:jazz in the `60s was a golden age of ideas and new sounds.This 33 minute suite tribute to God was an energetic and dreamy work.
Skip James-Today:the folk revival of the `60s got alot of older bluesmen active again.Skip had`nt made a record since 1931,his first Newport gig freaked people out since he looked like he came right out of 1931.A spooky falsetto voice made him a ghostly presence even when he was alive.
Dusty Springfield-Dusty In Memphis:blue eyed soul from a brit.Shelby Lynne has made a career in the last 10 years trying to recapture this record.
Velvet Underground And Nico and self titled:the debut was a mix of melodic tunes and more noisy moments.The self titled is more conventional though pretty mellow for a band known for loving distortion.
John Lee Hooker-Live At Cafe Au Go Go:a 1966 live date with backing by Muddy Waters and his band.John Lee is his usual down and dirty self.He opens the album was a song about killing a man who messed around with his wife.
The Ronettes-Best Of:Phil Spector is a mad genius.Ronnie was the chick who delivered the goods,she was pretty,sang pretty,and makes this timeless music.
Sonny Rollins-The Bridge:a comeback after a hiatus from the music biz.He spent years away practicing his sax on the Williamsburg Bridge in NYC.Hence the title.Guitarist Jim Hall is his usual cool self.
