Sea Change
Beck
Smooth, mellow creativity, but sad ballads in this album, which reflects his breakup with his girlfriend. Not a particular favorite of mine, but still a good work from Beck.

Are You Experienced
Jimi Hendrix
The true pioneer of psychodelic rock/blues both in writing and performing. This album is the all-time classic and set the bar to which all is measured.

Disintegration
The Cure
Interesting long track album. Definitely deep gothic kinda techno rock. A classic of the 80's rock ballad sound as a precursor to the acid/punk rock of the 90's.

The Isley Brothers
Wow, didn't know that they had some covers and interviews on the album. Still, this is a testimony of the great Isleys and the pillar of who they are. I never knew they had 11 albums at this point in their discography. Kudos to them and their accomplishments. Great classic soul of the time.

I used to own this on vinyl and played it often back then. Another all-time classic album from the era.

The Who Sell Out
The Who
The Who is a classic '60s rock sound, which I didn't realize what I heard often back in the day. I thought they were much harder rock, so I was surprised at this album.

There's No Place Like America Today
Curtis Mayfield
I thought he sounded like Ronald Isley, but now I know who this is. A great laid-back sound of the time.

Trout Mask Replica
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
What a strange conglomeration of styles and genres. Just weird, crazy music. However, I found it interesting in an odd way for me. This was certainly something ahead of its time for 1969. In retrospect, I was just 6 years old and had no clue that this stuff was out there. For the great creativity and pioneering spirit I give it 4 stars!

In A Silent Way
Miles Davis
If only 2 tracks on the entire album, it is a masterclass work by Miles Davis! Impressive work of the time. This is supposedly a fusion work but I feel like it's more jazz than anything else. I enjoyed listening to the entire record. It was flowing and relaxing while bright and dynamic all at the same time.

Ingenue
k.d. lang
A great ballad album. I didn't know she had this, but she was a fine singer. I would have like more up tempo tracks.
