This is the Late '60s Album Awards. Therefore, 1965 cannot be included. 1965 would be mid '60s.

Pretty please?

Pretty please?
Fine... but you must also answer for 1966, 1967, 1968, and 1969.

I'd end up copying off you. :p

Just so ya know, "The Madcap Laughs" came out in January 1970 :p

1967 was pretty hard to do, obviously... possibly the best year for music ever.

"The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" gets my vote for best album ever produced.

[Skelter]

Just so ya know, "The Madcap Laughs" came out in January 1970 :p

yes, but it was recorded in 1969.
the velvet underground & nico was also recorded in april '66, but released one year later.

[Lucifer Sam]

Bleh, double post.

[Lucifer Sam]

yes, but it was recorded in 1969.
the velvet underground & nico was also recorded in april '66, but released one year later.
Yeah, you just kind of have to work with the recording and release years to make your list work. :p

Plus, wasn't White Light / White Heat recorded in 1967 and released in January 1968? So it could go in either year, too, I suppose.

So many "hippies" here, and none of them know anything about music... :rolleyes:

It is not my fault I posses neither the cash to buy records, nor the computer sense to download it.

But recently there's been an increase in the number of new "hippies"... none of them posted here.

And they all claim that they *love* '60s music. Heh.

[Skelter]

And they all claim that they *love* '60s music. Heh.
They only thing they listen to is the doors, jimi hendrix and janis joplin. they never even heard of the 13th floor elevators.

[soulrebel51]

But Jimi Hendrix is actually good :sunglasse

Bah!! You forgot Pink Floyd and The Dead! :p :rolleyes:

[Lucifer Sam]

Bah!! You forgot Pink Floyd and The Dead! :p :rolleyes:
And the Beatles... everyone listens to the Beatles.

[soulrebel51]

Bahhhhhhhhh!!!! No one mentioned Moby Grape's debut album! Not even me... :eek:

[Lucifer Sam]

Bahhhhhhhhh!!!! No one mentioned Moby Grape's debut album! Not even me... :eek:It's not THAT great, though. Plus, 1967 is a great year... it's hard to choose. I'd probably put it in my top 10 or 15 for 1967, though.

I think I might be getting that album on CD for X-Mas, though. :) I hope...

[lover/young_peace]

I'm not talking about you :p
I know. :D

[Orsino2]

Ehhh... all of the stuff on your lists is too mainstream for my tastes, at the time.

[lover/young_peace]

Jeebus fuck, George... :p

[Orsino2]

Except for bob.

[Lucifer Sam]

Ehhh... all of the stuff on your lists is too mainstream for my tastes, at the time.
I would hardly call the Yardbirds, the 13th Floor Elevators, Love, the Zombies, Syd Barrett, the MC5, Captain Beefheart, the Sonics, and Donovan "mainstream."

[Skelter]

Ehhh... all of the stuff on your lists is too mainstream for my tastes, at the time.
post your lists then!

[soulrebel51]

Wow... there sure is a lot of 60's-lovin' hippies in this place.. :rolleyes:

[Orsino2]

Well.. someone needed to do the whole decade... I'm tired to seeing all of this heard-too-many-times classic rock stuff on here. :p :)

[Orsino2]

I would hardly call the Yardbirds, the 13th Floor Elevators, Love, the Zombies, Syd Barrett, the MC5, Captain Beefheart, the Sonics, and Donovan "mainstream."I've heard it all before... especially the psychedelia... I have nothing against Donovan. :D Though I've heard Mellow Yellow enough that I could probably sing the song backwards. :p

People just need to diversify their genres... there was some great jazz, blues, and folk in the 60s too... I put Hendrix on my list, because that's a given... :p

Dylan is probably the most mainstream, I could say, on the entire thing. I had to cut out the beatles... mostly because we've heard them all, and I threw in the stones for a hint of mainstreamyness, but with a dash of more modernized rock-blues...

If there is any song that has been played way too much, it's sunshine of your love, by Cream... we all know that song.

Well, the idea was to simply name your favorite albums from the given years, regardless of their overplay and whatnot. After all, it's just for fun... well, and I wanted to see what other people like.

[lover/young_peace]

and I wanted to see what other people like.
Apparently other people like Bob Dylan. http://www.hipforums.com/forums/images/icons/newicons/icon14.gif



(Haha... okay, I'm shutting up now. :D )

[Orsino2]

the byrds, bob dylan, the rolling stones, simon & garfunkel, jimi hendrix, the lovin' spoonful... and you're saying our music is too mainstream?!No... I mean mainstream to my tastes. Your genres are too mainstream, not the artists. The answer is within the question... just look for it. It's all personal preference. Besides... most people have no clue who Leo Kottke is, yet he did the same thing for the 12 string that Jimi did for the Fender Strat. :p
