The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan
-not the biggest Bob Dylan fan I don’t think, but the songwriting and lyricism is super good. listening to this when it came out in 1963 must have hit different
-Favorites are Blowin’ In The Wind, Masters Of War, and Down the Highway

Smile
Brian Wilson
-very interesting… I’ve never really heard anything quite like this and I haven’t even listened to The Beach Boys. I would not have expected an album with a cappella and farm animal noises to appeal to me this much but I indeed really like it
-Favorites are Heroes and Villains, Roll Plymouth Rock, and Good Vibrations

-Favorites are Strange Brew, Sunshine Of Your Love, and Outside Woman Blues
