1969 in music. • Page 5

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

 

thank you for the apology, at least

 

Goddamnit, Steve

 

but... like... why does his voice have to sound like that?!?!!?!

 

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”

 

haha, pretty good. I actually watched that whole season but don't recall that joke

 

maybe u want auto tune neil:

 

I'm scared to press play

 

no one wants peace trail lol

 

I like Peace Trail

 

Listening to this full album for the first time and am surprised no one had talked about it, what a beast of an album

 

Their next one is leaps and bounds better...but that one has "Beginnings"

 

1. The Beatles - Abbey Road
2. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II
3. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
4. Dusty Springfield - Dusty In Memphis
5. Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left
6. Janis Joplin - I Got De Ol Kozmic Blues Again Mama
7. The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed
8. The Who - Tommy

first listens that I also quite enjoyed:

The Beach Boys - 20/20

1969 mix

 

“Make Your Own Kind of Music” is a great pull.

 

you can thank LOST for that one, forever engrained in my life since that scene

 

a+

 

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.

 

I don't think I've heard of it or him. RIYL?

 

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.

 

THAT's a cool backstory.
