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.
