I'm gonna get plenty of slack for this, but man... I really don't care for Neil Young. I listened to Crosby, Stills & Nash yesterday and it's a damn good album. I hate to say it, but I hate Deja Vu. I hate After The Gold Rush.... his voice just completely ruins everything for me. So in conclusion: - I am sorry - Crosby, Stills & Nash is a really good album
This is really, really good. I think I would only slightly change things... 1. All Things Must Pass 2. Band On The Run 3. Plastic Ono Band 4. Living In The Material World 5 is really hard to narrow down though, one of these: Dark Horse / Ram / Imagine / Red Rose Speedway
Probably the only great joke in the one season of The Crazy Ones with Robin Williams, as he tried to console a singer with a broken heart: “Let her be like that guy who broke Adele’s heart. Or the Billy goat that broke Neil Young’s”
Listening to this full album for the first time and am surprised no one had talked about it, what a beast of an album

Wasn't really participating back here because I was busy and don't know much 60's music but I'm listening to In the Court of the Crimson King today and that would have been my vote for this year. Definitely my favourite 60's album. Going to eventually try moving back with these threads and checking out more stuff but I'm very slow with music.
The New RS 500: #498 The Stooges — The Stooges wrote about one of the best albums ever, if you're interested
Really upset about Steve's comments on Neil's voice. I LOVE his voice. It's definitely unique but I wouldn't have guessed it was controversial
I am listening to Ode to Quetzalcoatl by Dave Bixby. Good and sad EDIT: Browsing twitter and didn't realize this was apparently just sampled by Travis Scott. Had been sitting in my "To Listen" playlist for a while. Huh.
Sparse, moody folk. I think it was a rec under either Townes Van Zandt or Nick Drake. In reading more about it, Bixby burnt himself out on LSD and wound up joining some cult and then recorded this album.
