Updated! *ThomasQuinn **pma So Far: 61-76 (Note:I'm thinking of this in a general sort of way. If it was up to me, I'd list every album of Bob Dylan, The Who-Sells Out, Wings-Red Rose Speedway, Loves-Forever Changes etc etc) 60s Bob Dylan-Freewheelin'-Opened the eyes to a new generation. The start of deep lyrical content. Truly the start of the modern day singer/songwriter. Its too hard to describe the importance of this album. Beautifully crafted and inspiring Bob Dylan-Highway 61 Revisited/Blonde On Blonde- Never were strong lyrics and musical genius ever so wide spread. Would open the doors and open even more minds with the single "Like A Rollin' Stone". Blonde On Blonde, the follow up album. Would be Rock And Rolls first Double LP. Chalk full of poppy folk and epic ballads of love and loss. I could spend all day talking about it. Beatles-Rubber Soul/Revolver- Perhaps an early start on the "World Music" trend. Fine music in general.High eastern influence in both lps. The Who-My Generation- Rock and Roll with angst! This is the one album that started the garage band trend. High powered vocals and defying the world would never be this cool ever again. The OX is a great jamming song. Beach Boys-Pet Sounds-Brain Child of over producing. Mono mixing at its finest. Pure art. Velvet Underground-And Nico-Very akin to "My Generation", same garage sound, plus the eastern influence of "Rubber Soul". It's so hard to describe this masterpiece... *The Doors-The Doors-A fusion of blues and (folk-)rock gives a platform for sheer poetry in lyrics to be heard in popular music Beatles-The Beatles(White Album)- Massively huge, even more artistic, four individual artists, realizing their potential and creativity. A shining gem of the 60s. **Byrds -Sweetheart of the Rodeo-/Flying Burrito Brothers-The Gilded Palace of Sin- The Gram Parsons era Byrds and Gram's band FBB's works are widely considered as somewhat of pioneering works of country-rock as a music form. FBS also consisted multi-instrumentalist Bernie Leadon who later took a lot of GP's vision of country-influenced rock into the first two Eagles albums (Eagles and Desperado) and also named the group. The Who-Tommy-At the time, the subject matters were quite taboo(Child Molestation,Disabilities etc). Not only was the acoustic/electric fusion inspiring, the fact that it flowed seamlessly would inspire artists for years to come(Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody comes to mind). Rolling Stones-Let It Bleed- The blues has never been mixed with rock and roll so well. This was a new form of the classic R&B that made the Rolling Stones famous in the first place. Derek and The Dominoes "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" would also follow this formula. 70s Simon And Garfunkel-Bridges Over Troubled Water- Maturity and Fun sums up this album. Paul and Art were at their last crossroads together while making this album. That didn't stop it from being their best though. Lyrically beautiful and somewhat haunting. Irreplaceable instrumental work. A great way to start the 70s. *Deep Purple-In Rock-Creates the first 'modernist' hard rock out of power-blues. *Deep Purple-Machine Head-Introduces the first modern metal, with the very first speed-metal song in history, Highway Star. Paves the way for heavy metal. T-REX-Electric Warrior- An offshoot of folk plus rock and roll. Marc Bolan was a gifted artist, making his music as poppy and mainstream as anyone else's. despite its odd nature. It's punk like feeling and vocals would give Marc the praise he was looking for, for many years. Glam Rock was born. Marvin Gaye-Whats Going On- The one man symphony, over dubbing at its finest. Lyrically beautiful and mixed perfectly. Marvin Gaye would never top this album, and us the fans, would never stop praising it. Truly beautiful. John Lennon-Imagine-Exactly like "What's Going On".

I have some to add: Jean-Michel Jarre: Oxygene (1976) Oxygene opened a new era, with music created with ONLY synthesizers becoming not only available to, but also popular with, the masses. Deep Purple: In Rock (1970) Creates the first 'modernist' hardrock out of power-blues. The Doors - The Doors (1967) A fusion of blues and (folk-)rock gives a platform for sheer poetry in lyrics to be heard in popular music. |

Are we talking about rock specifically or... 'Cause I think that Johnny Cash's 'Live At Folsom Prison' really deserves to be on there. Also, as much as The Monkees are labelled as a boy band, their third and fourth albums, Headquarters and Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd., were pretty groundbreaking: Headquarters proved that they could actually play and write their own music, and PACJL featured a musical revolution by being one of the first albums in rock to feature a Moog synth so prominently (on 'Daily Nightly' and 'Star Collector'), years before Townshend and Stevie Wonder made truly integrated them. And Sgt. Pepper made a pretty big splash at the time, I believe... I know I keep adding, but I keep thinking of more. The Clash's London Calling, The Sex Pistols' Never Mind The Bollocks, and Elvis Costello's This Year's Model really brought about the punk boom in the late seventies. |

Thats why Marvin Gaye is on there etc. Ah, yes I havent quite gotten to the "punk era" yet(So far we are up to 1975-Dylans Blood On The Tracks). Yes I agree about Sgt Pepper, But it was the combination of Rubbersoul/Relvolver plus Petsounds by the Beach Boys that brought that, those albums were the mothers that shaped the Sgt Pep lp. Although, if people dont mind, I'd love to add SPLHCB. As for everything else(Johnny Cash etc etc). Please feel free to write any "mini-review" up and I'll add it to the list nooo problem :D |

The Beatles - Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) A new psychedelic wave of music. The album would listen as one entire show, it also uses an awfull lot of different instruments wich was quite new (mixed with rock) at the the time. Also The album cover was special, it was the first with a sleave to open and the first one with the lyrics written on the back. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV (also known as nameless or signs) (1971) Classical Hard Rock album and of a major influence to further hard rock/rock bands (for example Queen's first two). Pink Floyd - The Piper At The Gates Of Down (1967) An album of great value for the underground scene. This album wich was recorded at abbey road on the same time as The Beatles did their srgt. Peppers, has a much huger psychedelic inpact than Srgt. Peppers. It was a very strange sound like a trip from it's writer, Syd Barret(he almost wrote it completley by himself). Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon (1973) Clocks, footsteps, heartbeats, and a total new huse of sound and music on this classic Pink Floyd album. The album had a great inpact on the rock and psychedelic scene. Pink Floyd - The Wall (1979) A huge confusing concept. The story of Roger Waters on a dubbel LP set. What is left to say about this masterpiece? Queen - A Night At The Opera (1975) An incredible extravagantic ambiance, combined with some of the best songs ever written made this album a crown. This experiment brings rock, opera, dance revue music and a lot of other different styles of music through the classical rock instruments and unusual ones like a banjo-ukelele. David Bowie - Station Too Station (1976) Bowie takes it to a complete different music scene. He's experimenting with soul ("plastic soul" as he called it himself) and he let it sound like one hell of a bad trip. A little bit dark. David Bowie - Low (1977) Although it failed in the charts, David Bowie created a hole new musical style with this album. |

I agree with all of them(Station To Station is too awesome). @Matias May- I can see where you come from with that. Dylans music is sometimes done in a simple manner, but that's the honest beauty of it. It's music even a normal folk can play..He truly plays the music of the people. Also it was his guitar style that allowed Marc Bolan(T-REX) to play..and we all know how good a guitar player Marc was :D |

Devo were pioneers in the visual arts, they started wearing radiation suits during their first album Q: Are We Not Men A: We Are Devo! ; Going along with the concept of a factory/workplace, they wanted to wear business suits but couldnt afford them so wore white button up shirts instead and ended up making an unintentional statement. Every track on Duty Now has a new meaning (ignoring the instrumentals Devo Corporate Anthem and Timing X) You start with Clockout, hitting off the workplace setting Then moving into Wiggly World, featuring the famous line- 'They say the strongest shall survive Yet the unfit may live Let em wear gaudy colors or avoid display Hey it dont matter, its the same anyway' Next comes Blockhead which is their sequel to Mongoloid, where a worker with a cube head doesnt view as his condition as a disability, just sees the world differently and always stares straight ahead. They were known to move like robots during live renditions. Swelling Itching Brain came next, about one man's pains from working too hard, also has an unforgetable bassline Then, moving into The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprise, describing a man's excitement of his wife returning from the hospital Duty Now also features a cover of Secret Agent Man, where Mothersbaugh took his own lease on the song and made a hit out of it Smart Patrol/Mr DNA is 2 songs mixed and provided the Spud/Vegetable theme later shown in Oh No! Its Devo! as well as Smooth Noodle Mips among others Every Devo album is guaranteed to give you an experience that is fun, entertaining and very, very devo. |

I'm glad someone put A Night at the Opera. Although IMO Queen's albums were fantastic they did do better with great singles. Example: when 'Killer Queen' raced up the charts SHA did the same. The albums didn't make as much of an impression as the singles. But I think ANATO does deserve some recognition as one of the MANY masterpeices to come out of the seventies. If it were up to me I'd want SHA and Queen II there too. But I realise I was not around and shouldn't judge that. I'm presuming they didn't have the effect of 'Dark Side' on the music world. PS I completely agree with Bowie's 'Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust...', but what about 'Aladdin Sane'? Oh and Led Zep IV PPS I hate Bob Dylan.

I don't think the 80's and 90's lists have been compiled yet so The Joshua Tree and Nevermind will be on I presume. |

The Joshua Tree is extremely overated. Good album, but U2 has done better than that. |
