    Tough, tough choice between the Beatles and Hendrix. Ask me tomorrow and I'll probably change my answer.

    Although I would be the only one to vote for it, this should be on the list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthem_of_the_Sun

    Hold fast. We're not there yet on the Grateful Dead. They were still getting their reads down.

    Tuff Poll, came down to (for me) Great: Big Pink...Good to Very Good: Everything else...I could justify voting for each, but Big Pink was the first wide spread exposure of a genre that is thriving 50-plus years later...is it folk? Country? R & B? Soul? Rock? Gospel? For me the answer is “Yes”...good chit

    I like the label for this type of music as coined by Gram Parson..."Cosmic American Music".

    I recall reading about how Clapton was totally blown away the first time he heard The Band and decided this was the kind of music he wanted to play. He had been doing all heavy stuff prior to then and you can here the strong turn to roots music once he went solo.

    The Beatles, Stones, Kinks (and others) obviously began to think outside the box in their writing and musicianship in this period, much to the chagrin of their record companies, I’m sure...they made their bones as “pop idols”, and flexed when they got power...diverse multi-genre styles...Stones doing country; Beatles folk and psychedelic; Jimi playing straight blues, Clapton with his JJ Cale phase...

    True, Mabel. But still, not other record of the late 60's probably had a greater impact on the sound of the Stones from 1969- 72 than Sweetheart. Gram Parson is a god damned genius.
