You’ll also need “Wooden Ships” which was done by both CSNY and Jefferson Airplane. ---

[QUOTE=silenus] [The Sixties](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWhWMYqDNtk), summed up in one video of one song. _We’re all outlaws in the eyes of america In order to survive we steal cheat lie forge fuck hide and deal We are obscene lawless hideous dangerous dirty violent and young We should be together_ 😃 [/QUOTE] I absolutely love that one! _Volunteers_– what a great way to sum up an era. Great combo of very sweet melody with “revolution is in the air” lyrics. \* Up against the waaaaall, Up against the Wall motherfuckers. Tear down the waaaaall!\* ---

[QUOTE=Thudlow Boink] Wow. I agree with “anything and everything by the Beatles,” but I’m baffled by Yellow Submarine as your first choice of a classic album. But then, I’m thinking of the version that consisted of half George Martin instrumentals and half re-releases and throwaway tracks, and that was worth having only for the inclusion of “Hey Bulldog.” But, I digress. [/QUOTE] Yeah, I’m 23 years old. I named the Beatles albums I could remember off the top of my head. You can blame the inclusion of Yellow Submarine in that category on the animated movie. ---

[QUOTE=silenus] If you are going to go for **It’s A Beautiful Day** , then the tunes you need are “Don and Dewey” and “Soapstone Mountain,” both off the _Marrying Maiden_ album. For that matter, we need to add **Quicksilver Messenger Service** , **Moby Grape** , and **The Fugs**. [/QUOTE] Ah, yes, The Fugs.

Let’s not forget **Steppenwolf** and **The Animals** (House of The Rising Sun) And for an obscure artist, how many remember **Arthur Brown** singing _Fire_ (I am the god of hellfire, and I bring you…FIRE!) on the album “The Crazy World of Arthur Brown”? Oh, and **Freddy and The Dreamers** and **Billy Joe Royal** (Down In The Boondocks). And I don’t believe anybody has mentioned the immortal voices of **Gene Pitney** (Town Without Pity, Liberty Valance) and **Connie Francis** (Where The Boys Are). ---

You need The United States of America - [The United States of America](http://www.amazon.com/United-States-America/dp/B0002CX1XY/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1201818947&sr=8-1). A great and seemingly little known album that a fair few bands have ripped off over the years with little acknowledgment. Portishead namechecked them, but I don’t think Stereolab ever did. If you just download one song it should probably be _The American Metaphysical Circus_, _The Garden of Earthly Delights_ or _I Wouldn’t Leave My Wooden Wife For You, Sugar_. Another good shout is Vanilla Fudge - [Vanilla Fudge](http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vanilla-Fudge/dp/B000002IAK/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=gateway&qid=1201819594&sr=8-1) - it’s an album of covers, the highlight of which is their version of The Supremes [You keep me hanging on](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71cGLyOKhSc). This video is apparently from the Ed Sullivan show, whatever that means. ---

By the end of the '60s albums were dominating pure singles, so many of the best songs never became hits. Some albums I didn’t see mentioned. Beatles: Rubber Soul and Revolver - where they made the transition from cool love songs to something deeper, leading up to Sgt. Peppers, already mentioned. I’ve seen one survey giving Revolver as their best album. Abbey Road is far better than Let it Be, and the recent Let it Be Naked is far better than the original. Dylan: Besides the two mentioned, Bringing it All Back Home is a must as the transition from folk (side 2) to electric rock (side 1.) The folk is folk only because is done on acoustic guitar - he had already made the transition to surrealistic songwriting. Check out the Carnegie Hall concert from the bootleg series, where he introduced “It’s Alright Ma.” Cream: Wheels of Fire. This is a great example of how some bands blew through the 3 minute single, concentrating on the music. It has Crossroads, but also a very long version of Spoonful and a very long drum solo (Toad.) Well, I like it. Stones. Beggars Banquet, Between the Buttons, Let it Bleed. Try “Their Satanic Majesties Request” if you want to see what happens when a group totally loses control and direction. The Who - Tommy and the Who Sell Out. They started experimenting with operatic forms with “A Quick One While He’s Away” but Tommy was boundary breaking. (I’ve never actually heard all of Victoria by the Kinks, another opera.) There are lots of “Hits of the '60s” CDs out there, which have a selection of hit singles. Those are good to get a feeling for what early AM hit radio was like, and to show how much stuff changed as the 60s progressed. If you listen to these for a few weeks, you can get the impact of Sgt. Peppers and Highway 61 much better. I’ll agree with **Thudlow Boink** on Yellow Submarine. Down there with Let it Be in my book, and album I hate because I was subjected to The Long and Winding Road complete with treacly strings every five minutes during the summer of 1973. Spector deserves the noose for that mix alone. I assure you, you will listen to side 2 of Yellow Submarine only once. And strong love for Crimson and Clover from this corner. Great song. ---
