P4S, as you are with Neil Young, I am the same with Crimson's debut. I know I'm supposed to like it but I just can't listen to it. Give me Red any day. Indeed, give me Bruford doing anything any day
I have been playing Judy Blue Eyes for well over 20 years. Bags of fun to play on the guitar but I'm certainly no Stephen Stills. That said, who is? The guy's a god AFAIC.
Badfinger debuted in '69 - well worth digging around their catalogue. Wickedly under-rated group IMHO.
Whole Lotta Love must be heard in headphones - everyone should do this at least once in their life. What Is And What Should Never Be is also a fave of mine.
Of course also in '69 there's a little ditty called Space Oddity.........

Thanks for the list, Stui. That's helped me identify a couple more albums that should have been in my top 250,000. Blood, Sweat and Tears (Spinning Wheel, And When I Die, You've Made Me So Very Happy and God Bless the Child all feature) is one. Black and White by Tony Joe White (Polk Salad Annie) is another. My Cherie Amour by Little Stevie is another.
Interestingly, quite a few of the truly great songs in that list are either strictly singles (Elvis' From Memphis, eg, had a couple of good songs but broke no new ground and contained little of interest other than for established Elvis fans) or were actually from 1967 or '68 and just took time to take off. |

Space Oddity is just the album originally called David Bowie renamed, isn't it?
Have you got a vid of you playing SJBE? It's a great song and I'd love to see it.
Neil Young is almost unique for me - only he and Nich Cave annoy me so much that I actually want to break their CDs. That said, unlike Cave, NY did do some things I genuinely love (Woodstock and Ohio, for example) - but his solo stuff confuses me because I really, really wish I could appreciate it; lots of people who have impeccable taste (like you) admire it and, because I'm broadly interested in almost all kinds of music, the effect it has on me is puzzling.
Crimson's first album causes anxiety in a lot of people, I know - but I can't begin to imagine the years since without it. Unfortunately, we can't even put up links for people who haven't heard it to form a view, because Fripp has done such a good job of keeping the original Crimson albums off YouTube.
Otherwise, I'd put up Starless, Great Deceiver, Easy Money, Book of Saturdays, Lament, Exiles and Fracture - I expect we agree on almost all of those. I'm proud to say that my son (who came to King Crimson without prompting from me - and, like you, loves Red) has just recorded a cover of Easy Money on his latest EP and is going to perform 21st Cenyury Schizoid Man, Yes' Yours Is No Disgrace and Soft Machine's Hazard Profile, amongst other things, for his graduation recital. I wish there had been guitarists around who could play those things when I was a young man.
Do you not even like I Talk To The Wind? |

Oh
My

God!
I'm impressed. No really. Mega impressed! Gob smacked! My eyeballs popped out, I had to push them back in manually! Unfrickenbelievable! Well done!
After a quick scan, I have none of them! I have some albums by done artists but not those ones! Unreal! Do you have a special room to store them all?? The mind boggles. That's just 1 year! _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

P4S,
Yes the 1969 eponymous Bowie album opens with Space Oddity.
I Talk To The Wind is nice but just doesn't rock my world I'm afraid.
As we know, Fripp provided the guitar on Heroes. I'm certain Blur's Graham Coxon must've channelled Fripp for his solo on This Is A Low. I was quite surprised how many good songs Blur actually had, once you get past the whole britpop thing.
BTW, one album I missed was "In Concerto For Group & Orchestra". Full show here:

Gillan's finest hour was the following year IMHO. When we start on 1970 I'll discuss further and no, it's not Speed King
There's very little video of yours truly. I went through my archives and didn't even have an audio recording of Judy Blue Eyes. I recorded a version at 10.15 this morning, live without a net (or whiskey hehehe) and just using the iphone. The vocal is low and there's a wee guitar fluff up at 4.47 but a sweet thing happened. Right at the end you can hear the grandmother clock in my office chime for 10.15
Recording is here: https://ufile.io/xjqf0
TP,
Don't encourage us, the lists for 1970, 1971 and 1972 are much longer and miles more impressive

Thanks for sharing the upload of SJBE, MM. Great effort.
That deserves a Van Der Graaf Generator masterpiece. The "ranking" of the full album in the top 250,000 of the year has to wait until we start talking about 1971 - but here's A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers. You will know it - but there'll be plenty of Nicksters who have never heard it.

Watched Janis's performance at Monterey yesterday. Moma Cass's face says it all. Which is a good thing as there are no superlatives in any language. _________________ Spiral progress, unstoppable,
