#7AlbumsToGetToKnowMe

It was difficult to choose just #7AlbumsToGetToKnowMe.

Here are the ones that made the greatest impression on me when I 1st "discovered" the joys of recorded music in the 60's & 70's:

1) Surfer Girl (1963) - The Beach Boys

2) Meet The Beatles (1964)

3) My Funny Valentine (1964) - Mile Davis

4) Where Did Our Love Go (1964) - The Supremes

5) Deja Vu (1970) - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

6) Dark Side of the Moon (1973) - Pink Floyd

7) Fleetwood Mac (1975)

And here we go with #7AlbumsToGetToKnowMe

* Beatles, Abbey Road
* Mr. Bungle, Disco Volante
* Björk, Post
* John Zorn, Naked City
* IDLES, Ultra Mono
* John Cage, Indeterminacy
* Portishead, (self-titled)

So difficult to limit this to just seven. Classical and jazz had to be excluded. Apologies to Zappa for losing the coin flip to Portishead.
