Best Album Of 1968

I love a little more than half of this album.
I prefer the U.S. cover to the U.K. cover for some reason.
All of that expanse of comfortable green, I guess...

 

I bought the digitally remastered CD of their first two albums, featuring 'Whiter Shade Of Pale' and 'Conquistador' with the bonus tracks of an alt version of 'Whiter Shade Of Pale' & 'Homburg'. Good stuff!

 

HAIR - Original Cast REcording

GROOVY CHOICE!




Hair - The American Tribal Love Rock Musical (1968 Original Broadway Cast)

 

A tough question... To answer it I asked myself: "Which album you cannot do without when being on the road?"... "Electric Ladyland" from Jimi Hendrix, I cannot travel without something from Hendrix... However, I don't mind taking all of them

 

cheap thrills - Janis Joplin w/Big Brother and the Holding Company
white album - the beatles

 

Iron Butterfly will forever be remembered as the first heavy metal band. Their moment of glory is the song "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," a 17-minute epic that features a sinister guitar riff doubled on keyboards, bearded, manly vocals and a drum solo that at times seems longer than the actual song itself. The ultimate 1960s acid rock song, it is difficult today to understand what an impact such music could have had on young listeners to whom the idea of heavy metal did not even exist. The rest of Iron Butterfly's catalog is littered with awful Flower Child psyche-pop and lame biker rock, but there are a few moments ("Iron Butterfly Theme," "Possession") where it becomes clear the band had an effect on the Grateful Dead as well as the Doors, to name just two. As for true metal bands, Deep Purple is the next link the chain as far as that goes, lifting the idea of guitar and keyboards played on top of one another directly from Iron Butterfly.

Cool selections!
I loved the United States of America album -if only for two or three tracks.
I liked Joe Byrd & The Field Hippies almost as much.

It's also great to see folks mention SOFT MACHINE!

 

All of these albums are true masterpieces or at least most of them, but none equal the White Album.
