The Gilded Palace Of Sin
The Flying Burrito Brothers

There is an issue with listening to many albums on this list. Any album that did something different/experimental for its time AND was influential enough to warrant being on this list will sound stereotypical and overdone from our perspective. I'm sure the Flying Burrito Bros' country rock sound was interesting in 1969, but we've had 50 years of country music since then that just sounds like this. Sure, props to them for being part of the redefinition/creation of a genre, but why would I bother listening to this today, especially when people have done it better 100 times over by now?
