MJ, did you leave out Pinks Floyd's debut The Piper at the Gates of Dawn on purpose?!? I hope so!

1978. Devo's first album. The end. LMAO!!! Nice to know there's still a few other Spud Boys out there. MJ, did you leave out Pinks Floyd's debut The Piper at the Gates of Dawn on purpose?!? I've never listened to it. Should I add it to my, "must check this out before I die", list? Also on that list is the album "Love" released in 1967. Suppose to be a great one. Oh and David Bowie released his debut in 1967. And Mr. A, that was classic. ;D

I don't like Piper very much. It sounds very amateurish to me, and a lot of time, the famed "psychedelia" just sounds like Syd Barrett was putting in some weird chords and stuff just because he could, and not because it sounds great melodically. In addition, I don't really like the production. I just don't care for the vocals they used or the fact that so much of the vocal lines are exactly echoed by the guitars. That makes it sound much more bland than if the guitars provided harmony to the main melody.

Love Devo! Others from 1967 Traffics "Heaven is in Your Mind" - Very groovy baby! And anyone remember Red Krayola's experimental psychadelia? kind of makes me wonder if John Lennon was inspired by their strange LP, "Parable of Arable Land", when he recorded "Revolution #9". (Ps - here's Mayo at his most normal... Corky's Debt - he was ahead of his time, out of his mind, but he never could carry a note. lol)

1967 was the year Peter Green formed Fleetwood Mac. Yeah they were a blues band at the time but they ended up becoming rock and rollers... after several years and several different members...

It's hard to argue with most of those. But when I think of 1995, I think of Hootie & the Blowfish, Soul Asylum, Gin Blossoms, and other sissy acoustic rock. Oh yeah, and Alanis Morrisette. Not good times.

1966 was solid as well. The Beatles released my favorite album of all time, "Revolver". Simon and Garfunkle had "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme". Pet Sounds and wasn't Blonde on Blonde out in 66?
Back to 1967: While not a great album, I love the song "Incense And Peppermints" by the Strawberry Alarm Clock.
And here's an obscure one, "The Devils Anvil".
Was the Move out then (The precursor to ELO) or the Nice (Emersons band before he joined up with lake and palmer)?

BlueDon't forget also from 1971 Nursery Cryme - Genesis Low Spark of High Heeled Boys - Traffic The Yes Album - Yes Acquiring the Taste - Gentle Giant Aqualung - Jethro Tull Fourth - Soft Machine Islands - King Crimson E Pluribus Funk - Grand Funk Railroad Killer and Love It to Death - Alice Cooper Cahoots - The Band I would say that is one incredible year.

Is it as influential as Sgt. Pepper's? Not in rock overall, but it influenced what came after in psychedelia. And it is the most Syd Barrett-influenced Floyd album. Whether that's a good thing or not....well, we've discussed Syd here before. You should check it out before you die though, MJ, if for nothing else as an intellectual exercise.

Hmm, aside from Lennon and Cooper, I'm not sure I liked 1971 very much. LOL ;D (I'm teasing)
A few years back someone on a board, might have been here, was talking about the Love album, "Forever Changes" - I made a mental note to check it out. I never did.
This thread reminded me of it again. This time I did check it out. And I'd like to give a big hug to the person who put that bug in my ear (If they are even still here)
This is one freakin brilliant, incredible, awsome, super-duper album!! - I had one of those "Oh my God" moments, when you know your hearing something that knocks you for a loop. I first felt this the when I found that "Please, Please Me" single in the attic and decided to give it a spin. Again, when Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" video first showed on some local music show. And a handful of other wonderful moments through time.
I can't find the words to describe how much I love Love!
