Retro Albums of the Year 2010's: 2020
« on: March 20, 2021, 09:26:12 AM »
Just to piggy back on The "Albums of the Year Over Time" topic, and given I don't believe the DTF has ever done these.

So we'll start with 1965, which while wasn't the Birth year for Rock and Roll nor was it the start exactly for Psych and Prog, but was right before that.

So in-effect, if these topics do receive enough replies, we'll do around if not 55 of them all the way up to 2020. The Years from 2012-2020 I suppose could just be an UPDATE given the DTF did do/has Album of the Year topics since 2012 (at least?..possibly 2009 per that is when the DTF launched from memory).

if someone else wants to Create a topic going further back, they can and should.

Here's my Top 5 from '65.

1. The Beatles - Rubber Soul
2. The Beatles - Help!
3. The Who - My Generation
4. The Beach Boys - The Beach Boys Today!
5. The Moody Blues - The Magnificent Moodies

It’s gonna be a few years before I can really participate in these. The oldest albums I have are from 1966 (just two), none from 1967, and then only a handful for the rest of the 60s and early 70s. But this will be a good reference thread probably for essential albums from that period (I should own some Beatles albums but somehow I still don’t).

Same for me.

I believe Rubber Soul is the only album I own from 1965, and looking at a list of 1965 releases, I don't see anything more appealing, so there you have it.

If we're not getting a huge amount of participation for each individual year, one option might be to keep it all in one thread, and update the thread title when we move on a year.

Anyway thanks to my obsessive using of RateYourMusic, this will be easy enough for me. :biggrin:

1965:

1. The Beatles - Rubber Soul
2. Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
3. John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
4. Wes Montgomery - Bumpin'
5. The Beatles - Help!
6. Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home

I was born in 1964 but I don't care for ANY music that came out in that entire decade.  For me the really great stuff started happening in the '70's

1.  The Beatles:  Rubber Soul
2.  The Beach Boys:  Today!
3.  The Beach Boys:  Summer Days (And Summer Nights!)
4.  The Beatles: Help! Vince Guaraldi: A Charlie Brown Christmas
5.  The Yardbirds:  Having A Rave-Up The Beatles: Help!


Five is a place-holder for me; it's not my favorite, but I'm not sure what goes there.  That was the first record with Beck on it, but he only plays on half (Side two is live from '64 with Clapton).    The Kinks hadn't hit their stride, I'm not a huge fan of the early Stones records, because of the covers, or The Who's debut.   Elvis was prolific, but it was mainly the soundtrack work that is the weakest of his career.  Not a Dylan fan, and it'd be another year before The Buffalo Springfield come on the scene.

I had in my head that the Vince Guaraldi album was from 1964 for some reason.

Look at my RYM I haven't rated anything from 1965 but I do remember liking Rubber Soul when hearing it a while back. Things start to pick up for me as we get later into the 60's.

I'm only really fond of 3 albums here.

1. Bob Dylan, HWY 61
2. Bob Dylan, Bringing It All Back Home
2. John Coltrane, A Love Supreme


And take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time
Far past the frozen leaves
The haunted frightened trees
Out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
With one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea
Circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate
Driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow

So i thought about it, and it probably would be easier to make these into 1-Topic PER DECADE.

So I changed the Subject and added the Page Number (in general) each year is found on. if someone wants to post their list a few pages back, that's fine, but the Majority of the Lists for each year should be on a Page/Page Number-Span.

So here's my 1966 List:

1. The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
2. The Beatles - Revolver
3. Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention - Freak Out!
4. The Who - A Quick One, While He's Away
5. The Monkees - The Monkees
6. Simon and Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence
7. The Beatles - "Yesterday"...and Today
8. The Byrds - Fifth Dimension
9. The Rolling Stones - Aftermath
10. The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations (single)

For 1966, I've got:

1. The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
2. Simon & Garfunkel - Parsley, Sage, Rosemarey & Thyme

I expect Pet Sounds and Revolver to top a lot of lists for this year.

John Coltrane - Ascension
John Mayall & Eric Clapton - Blues Breakers
Wayne Shorter - Speak No Evil
Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage
John Coltrane - Meditations
Sun Ra & His Solar Arkestra - The Magic City

Looking at a list of albums released in 1966:

Simon & Garfunkel - Sounds of Silence:  My sisters were big fans, so I heard a lot of "Si and Gar" as a kid, and I am generally a fan of their music (although I don't own this album).

Beatles - Yesterday and Today and Revolver:  Y&T was a compilation album of a bunch of singles, some of which are on Rubber Soul and Revolver.  Highlights for me are Nowhere Man, Yesterday, We Can Work It Out and Day Tripper.  Revolver is a great transitional album for the Beatles.  Taxman is probably the first great George Harrison Beatles song.  Eleanor Rigby, Here, There and Everywhere, She Said She Said, And Your Bird Can Sing, For No One, and Tomorrow Never Knows are my favorites.  Day Tripper and Paperback Writer were also released as non-album singles (the former as a double A-side single with We Can Work it Out, and the latter with the criminally underrated Rain as the "B-side").

Not too much else of interest for me, although The Who's A Quick One featured a couple of John Entwhistle classics:  Boris the Spider and Whiskey Man (the latter of which features The Ox on French horn, as well as lead vocals).

The Yardbirds released Shapes of Things, and the Mamas and the Papas released California Dreamin', both of which I like a lot.  Also Summer in the City by the Lovin' Spoonful.

1. The Beatles - Revolver
2. Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde

1966 is another light year for me. My lists will start picking up in quantity starting with 1967. For some reason I thought Miles Davis' Miles Smiles came out in 66' but apparently that's 67'...

1966:

1. The Beatles -Revolver
2. Cream - Fresh Cream
3. Question Mark and The Mysterians - 96 Tears

2. Cream - Fresh Cream

weird as when I was making those Calendars in my blog a few years ago, I ended up not including Fresh Cream for 1966, which surprises me. But now looking at the track list, I can kind of follow why as it's kind of non-descript as I'm not sure I've heard many if any of the songs. But maybe I should.

the day I ended up with a Monkees-a-holic for my partner, was the day I at least became familiar and enjoyed every Monkees record in some way.
