Wow this is super cool. Psychedelic, almost medieval sounding folk full of funky time signatures. '69 really was possibly the best year in music history.

This is the album that got me into music. Still one of my favorites of all time.

Love this album. So catchy and melodic while still being weird and interesting. You can hear their influence on so many other albums I love too.

A solid album from Dylan but not one of my favorites. I think he's still learning what to do with electric instrumentation here in a way that's better executed later on. Some solid songwriting still though.

Love his voice and the gorgeous, melancholy instrumentation here. It's cool to hear a vaguely conceptual album from the 50s, which seems incredibly uncommon. Love it.

I don't think I've ever listened to them before but this really checks the boxes on 80s post-punk for me. Cool angular guitars, laconic vocals and tight rhythm. It's a bit funky too!

You know I've honestly never really listened to them outside of Smoke on the Water but this rocks. Super jammy and creative.

Not their best but certainly a solid entry in their catalogue. I think they were still finding their footing here but you can already see the makings of a classic band.

All the makings of a classic. Fresh, subversive and catchy while still having some edge. Love this album.

The GOAT

Another band I've listened to just incidentally but never really sat down and focused on an album from but it's really great. Breaks out of the traditional soul formula and does a lot of cool progressive stuff with it.

I absolutely adore this album. Such a cool mix of 60s pop with trip hop and dub influences. The Neil Young cover is next level too.

Very much feels true to the punk ethos - disruptive and forward thinking with strong simple riffs. A bit more theatrical than most though.

This album fucks. Super tight, funky drums and bass and still-relevant leftist subject matter.

Honestly more fun than I really give them credit for. Some goofy moments but overall it's very enjoyable metal. Their drummer is basic af though.

Politically-charged proto-noise? Sign me up. This fucks.

Fun dumb rock. Not really worth being a \"must hear\" album to me but it's enjoyable. Kinda cringey sometimes though.

Really interesting eclectic mix of styles. I didn't realize that this was Paul Weller of The Jam before. I definitely like some tracks more than others but overall a cool listen.

Really pretty harmonies and great songwriting. I hate that cover though!

This kind of early 60s rock and roll just doesn't do anything for me really. I appreciate the cultural significance but I wouldn't ever seek out listening to it.
