Top Albums of the 60s - Listen to these tunes.

A few rules a notes for this post, firstly this i'm forcing myself to only include one album of each artist hence why there is only one Beatles album and One Bob Dylan album. Also this is personal opinion so don't start raising the townsfolk in arms just because you disagree. 

10. Let It Bleed - Rolling Stones 

The Beatles' great rivals finally succeeded in releasing a album to match the Beatles in 1969 thus cementing them into Rock's history. 


9. Music From Big Pink - The Band

The world's greatest backing band's first solo effort truly destroyed the minds of the musicians of 1968 and left many of them questioning the meaning of their music. 


8. Piper At The Gates Of Dawn - Pink Floyd

Syd Barrett's masterpiece was glorious and was the best Floyd effort until Dark Side. However i consider this their 2nd best album overall with only Wish You Were Here topping it. 

7. Tommy - The Who 

The first true Rock Opera. No on has beaten it and i doubt anyone will, the brilliance of it is overwhelming and the Who's instrumental brilliance is shown brilliantly. 



6. The Doors - The Doors

The Californian Psych rockers were never better than in their debut album. 

5. Blonde On Blonde - Bob Dylan 

Dylan' best, and yes that means alot if i had my way, Bob Dylan would release a album a year. He is wonderful and is the true last great musician of the 60s still going (except possibly Paul Simon) and god damn it he better not fall over and break his back before i see him live. 



4. Are You Experienced - Jimi Hendrix

We miss you Jimi return to our planet, please? 
This album is just as brilliant as everything else on this list. 

3. Disraeli Gears - Cream

Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Backer's baby never sounded so groovy. 


2. Revolver - The Beatles

The Best Band in the world. Don't argue with me, in terms of everything they are the best, except best album ever, this one makes number 2 in my best ever list too. Not because it is weak or inperfect just because i'm in love with the other album.


1. Forever Changes - Love

The greatest album ever. Buy it now... i wash't joking -_- you won't regret it

The 1960s Lost Psychedelic Band: Gandalf

Image
Gandalf is the sort of record the 60s loving hipster you know references to try to seem knowledgable about psychedelic music, it's a pretty obscure record. However since it's release in the late 1960s it has built a large cult following and the band Gandalf is now considered one of the best little known secrets of the psychedelic era.  Gandalf were together for four years from 1965 until 1968 and despite their cult status not much is popularly known of the band. One person hoping to rectify that is Peter Sando, the guitarist for Gandalf. Perhaps the most overt Psychedelic album artwork in existence “ I met Bob Muller in detention hall in the 7th grade. He had a band [the Thunderbirds] and they were in the process of dumping their guitarist, Michel Nouri, later to become a successful actor. I joined the Thunderbirds, later to become the Rahgoos.” Peter Sando recalled of the band's origin. Sando's earliest musical influences are common for many his ...

Interview with Don Craine of The Downliners Sect

Image
It's impossible to count the amount of incredible musical giants who were playing in the London R&B scene in the early 1960s. There were The Rolling Stones, The Pretty Things, John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers, The Yardbirds and so many more. However history tends to forget some of the bands who participated in the scene, on such band are The Downliner Sect, who were possibly better known for their drunken antics off stage then their Blues Rock on stage. So who are The Downliners Sect? To help me I enlisted the help of their front man Don Craine. The band is probably best known for having two songs of the Nuggets II compilation; Glendora & Why Don't You Smile Now Music-Drop Magazine: Who were your earliest musical influences? Don Craine: Major influences were Lonnie Donegan, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bo Diddley and Eddie Cochran. Where did you first hear the Blues? DC: My first taste of the Blues was watching a Saturday night T.V. sho...

Coloring Book - Chance The Rapper

Image
Colouring Book is the album whose acclaim confuses me the most. It isn’t infectious, it isn’t experimental and it doesn’t make me feel enriched by listening to it. So why is it so well regarded? I’m not Chance The Rapper’s target audience I’m not a Hip-Hop head, I don’t go out of my way to listen to mixtapes and I dislike it when religion flavours conversations to much, and Colouring Book is the most religious album I’ve heard in 2016. He’s a good rapper though and his style is likeable and I found a lot of his lyrical subject matter to be easily relatable but the thing is to often does the songwriting let down Chance’s rapping talents and too often do his good lyrics get overshadowed by larger more annoying lyrics. This is Chance's third mix tape. Maybe I’m just a cynic though, well that’s what several teachers have told me over my time in education at least. I disliked the happiness of the album, I thought it was too positive a album and I prefer a good...
