3 Essential 60s Albums Pt. 2
The Giant Brain
The Mothers of Invention - Freak Out
Jefferson Airplane - After Bathing At Baxter's
50s
All three of thse albums are fucking horrendous. Nothing but shit
hippie drug music. I wouldn't lisen to one song from any of those
piece of shit albums.
I'd go with these instead.
Beatles - A Hard Day's Night (UK Version)
Four Tops Second Album
Temptations - Sing Smokey
Eric Ramon
Arthur Alexander - Arthur Alexander Sings A Thousand Stars and 11
Other Hits
Dave Clark Five - Coast to Coast
The Rolling Stones - 'England's Newest Hitmakers" (actually this is
called The Rolling Stones but we know it and love it by the quoted
title)

Others worth considering:
Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan
Revolver - Beatles
The Velvet Underground And Nico - The Velvet Underground
Eric Ramon
but seriously, from my perspective, if you want to capture the 60s you
have to either be representative of the whole decade or pick a moment.
If you pick a moment then it's these three:
Sgt. Pepper
Blonde on Blonde
Are You Experienced
But since there was so much going on it's always going to be
incomplete to name three. There's soul music and that means different
things in 1963 and 1969. Surf (Beach Boys and others), surf
instrumentals (Dick Dale, The Ventures), British invasion, folk,
garage, psychedelic,
So unless you're going all the way to 3 Essential 60s Albums, Pt. 35
you'll miss some.

Is there any non-AOR album from the '60s that you consider essential?
Something by Otis Redding, perhaps?
50s
> The Velvet Underground And Nico - The Velvet Underground
The worst fucking thing I've ever heard. It gives music a bad name.
50s
If you mean the guy who listed these three albums, I agree with you.
50s
Don't think he's heard anything other than maybe "Dock Of The Bay."
Wonder if he likes this one:
LP/LPS-2995 - We're Gonna Make It - Little Milton [1965] (6-65, #101)
We're Gonna Make It (S)/You're Welcome To The Club (S)/I'm Gonna Move
To The Outskirts Of Town (S)/Blues In The Night (S)/Country Style (S)/
Who's Cheating Who? (S)//Blind Man (S)/Can't Hold Back The Tears (S)/
Believe In Me (S)/Stand By Me (S)/Life Is Like That (S)/Ain't No Big
Deal On You (S)

Bruce,
Are your basing your comments on having heard the full "Freak Out" album or
your distain for Frank Zappa in general? There are some great doo-wop &
throw backs to an earlier time on the first 2 sides of that 2-lp set; a few
of the songs would be revisited on the "Cruising with Ruben & the Jets"
album that was completely devoted to that type of music. Sides 3 & 4 are
when the Mothers get into their real "freak out".

After he exhausts every conceivable album by "White Guys With Guitars"
he'll begrudgingly throw in a couple of soul albums that you ask him
about.

LOL....one of those.
I thought I chased every fggot who used that "Plonk" word out of here.
Oh well, more work to do.

I liked Frank (the person). Great guy who was really into R & B groups
when he was young, but I hate all of his bullshit experimental music,
and his doo wops were fair at best. There are not many "great" doo
wops by white vocal groups IMO, maybe 3 or 4 songs, but certainly none
from Zappa's guys.
Unfortunately, yes, I have heard the entire double album. I owned many
copies years ago when it used to be hard to find and I was selling
them to people. It used to be playing in some record stores that I
frequented.
Not my thing, sorry.

You have to admit it has a nice banana, though.

Check out my review of the album here:
http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/the_velvet_underground/the_velvet_underground_and_nico/
Over the years I've owned at least 20 original copies of this
horrendous album. I have no idea why, but in the late 1970s it was
very much in demand, as it was not in print and many people were
looking for it. It was selling for about $25 to $30 in those days.
In those days I was selling records all over the world via auction and
set sale lists. I have had the misfortune of hearing the album on a
couple of occasions, as it was playing in stores that I used to deal
with at times. I hold this group partially responsible for the
downfall of rock and roll. For whatever reason, people somehow became
more interested in "attitude" and lyrics than they were in musical
talent.
These guys could barely play their instruments competently, and Lou
Reed sings like a dead cow. It's music like this, and that of the
Stooges, the Sex Pistols, and some other no-talent artists, that led
to me losing interest in most any music made after the early 1980s.
I'd rather listen to the Osmonds any day.

Lou Reed is a singer?

Never heard Zappa's next album, heard the next one after that and wish
to go no further than Freak Out.
Love Jimi Hendrix for his guitar playing but nothing else.
