Whatever happened to the whole late 70s album list thing? It kinda got lost in lirabo somewhere.

I've been really looking forward to seeing mid to late 60s as it's such an incredibly crucial period in the evolution of popular music. Can we do it now? Hopefully under Ethan's charge or whatever.
 
Here's some I'd include

Bob Dylan -Highway 61 Revisited
Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde
Bob Dylan - John Wesley Harding
Beatles -Rubber Soul
Beatles - Help
Beatles - Sgt. Peppers
Beatles - Revolver
Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour
Beatles -White Album

Beach Boys - Smiley Smile
Blind Faith - Blind Faith
The Band - The Band
Buffalo Springfield - Buffalo Springfield
Cream - Disraeli Gears
Cream - Fresh Cream
Cream - Wheels of Fire
CCR -Green River
CCR - Willie and the po' boys
CSNY - CSNY
CTA (Chicago) - CTA
Donovan - Sunshine Superman

Dr. John - Gris Gris
Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prision

Jimi Hendrix - Are you experienced
Jimi Hendrix - Bold as Love
Jimi Hendrix -Electric ladyland
King Crimson - In the court of King Crimson
Led Zeppelin - I
Led Zeppelin - II
Van Morrison - Blowin' Your Mind
Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
Pink Floyd - Piper at the gates of Dawn
Procol Harum - Procal harum

I can't remove like...70 albums on my own. I've been bugging everyone for help but no one's offered. Anyway I'll head this but I think since 60-65 wasn't exactly full of classics and loved albums here we should just do top 100 of the 60s.
 
The Zorabies - Odessey and Oracle
Frank Zappa - Freak Out!
Frank Zappa - Absolutely Free
Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
Frank Zappa - Uncle Meat
Horace Silver - The Cape Verdean Blues
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew(was it 69 or 70?)
 
Here's a couple of ideas. I'll add on to the list.
Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton-John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers
Buffalo Springfield Again-Buffalo Springfield
The ByrRAB' Greatest Hits-The ByrRAB
Cheap Thrills-Big Brother & the Holding Company
Dusty in Memphis-Dusty Springfield
Kick Out the Jams-MC5
Surrealistic Pillow-Jefferson Airplane
Traffic-Traffic
We're Only in It for the Money-The Mothers of Invention
 
White Light/White Heat
Doors
Electric Ladyland
Rubber Soul
Pet SounRAB
TVU and Nico
Revolver
Green River
White Album
Sgt Pepper
Blonde on Blonde
Highway 61
Five Leaves Left
At Folsom Prison
Strange Days
Change Of The Century
 
lets not open it to all the 60's. Way too much great music. Just make the other list pre-1965 and I'll spearhead it because I was the only one alive then.
 
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisted
Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde
The Beatles - Revolver
The Beatles - St Peppers
The Doors - The Doors
Love - Forever Changes
Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced?
The Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground & Nico
The Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat
Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison
The Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet
The Kinks - Village Green Preservation Society
MC5 - Kick Out The Jams
 
Better keep it whole 60s. Not that many people on the boarRAB will be familiar with such a large range of 60-64, especially since most the stuff from that era that has any chance of being able to seriously compete with 65-69 is within various non-rock genres like jazz and obscure folk. More importantly the album/LP as a unified statement didn't really start to become a dominant format until the later 60s with albums like Freak Out!, Sgt Pepper, Blonde On Blonde and so forth - in which case much of the material from the earlier 60s automatically can't really compete as they aren't really "albums" in quite the same sense. In sum, I don't think there's much harm in having this span the whole decade. There'll be space for the good stuff from the early 60s - hopefully nothing from early 60s rock'n'roll will be nominated as it was all totally substandard compared to what came later on and practically 98% of the albums were half-filled with covers.
