I'm disappointed that they didn't have Mitchum sing some karaoke in The Yakuza, if his music from 1967 is anything to go by.

[CiG]

The Masters Apprentices – The Master’s Apprentices

This was going to be in mine too, I think it landed at like 11 or 12.

 

[Slammed]

To be honest I was probably a bit more nostalgic for home grown than I could have been, but it's a good album none the less.

 

[CiG]

I'm hoping this one gets at least another vote or something, such a good album!

 

[Einherjar86]

That song is gut-wrenching.

Hmmm, initial listings:

Bob Dylan--J.W. Harding (not a huge Dylan fan, but this album is good)
Leonard Cohen--Songs
Gordon Lightfoot--The Way I Feel
Van Morrison--Blowin'
Pink Floyd--Piper
VU--VU&N
The Dubliners--A Drop and More
Tim Buckley--Goodbye and Hello

Not final order, but probably all on the final list.

 

[Sirjack]

1. Jimi Hendrix Experience -Are you Experienced?
2. Burt Bacharach -Reach Out
3. The Doors - Strange Days
4. Procol Harem - Procol Harem
5. Jimi Hendrix Experience - Axis: Bold as Love
6. The Sonics - Boom
7. Frank Zappa - Lumpy Gravy
8. Cream - Disraeli Gears
9. Ravi Shanker - Ravi Shanker in New York
10. The Mothers of Invention - Absolutely Free

 

[CiG]

6. The Sonics - Boom

This one is definitely from 1966 man, or it'd be in my list for sure.

 

[Bloopy]

1. Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow
2. Janis Ian - ...For All the Seasons of Your Mind
3. Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - Safe as Milk
4. Cream - Disraeli Gears
5. The Doors - Strange Days
6. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced
7. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Axis: Bold As Love
8. The Doors - The Doors
9. Jefferson Airplane - After Bathing at Baxter's
10. The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

HM:
Marlena Shaw - Out of Different Bags
Pink Floyd - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn

Was only selecting from 14 albums in the end but didn't make it any easier. Particularly as that Janis Ian album is new to me and the more I listened to it the more it climbed my list.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

1. Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground and Nico
2. Merle Haggard - Branded Man
3. Miles Davis - Sorcerer
4. Frank Zappa - Lumpy Gravy
5. Rolling Stones - Their Satanic Majesties Request
6. Thelonious Monk - Straight, No Chaser
7. Sun Ra - Cosmic Tones for Mental Therapy
8. The Who - The Who Sell Out
9. Mothers of Invention - Absolutely Free
10. Nico - Chelsea Girl

I'd also give an honorable mention to the Stone's Between the Buttons on account of it containing "She Smiled Sweetly" which happens to be my favorite Stones song ever but as a whole album I much prefer Satanic Majesties.

Yeah, I think I properly got into that album around 2013 when I really started exploring non-metal. I remember 'The Dolphins' from a Sopranos episode way, way back, though.
