[Saoirse]

Ooh quite a good one this is. I actually really love that 65 team, A Love Supreme and Hoodoo Man Blues are great choices, absolutely thrilled by the inclusion of Jackson Frank, one of the most underrated master songwriters to leave before his prime, and alel gets a big Saoirse-smooch for the inclusion of A Charlie Brown Christmas. Haven't heard that temptations record though. Singles team is equally divine, The Sounds of Silence is the only weak-link in comparision but it's actually a pretty decent song nonetheless.


With the 67 team, I think what a lot of these albums suffer from is that they have been so talked about, so constantly pontificated upon and have for so long always been heralded as the greatest albums ever... that there's a bit of a been there, done-that feeling with a lot of those selections. It's just hard to make these teams feel exciting and personal when it feels a lot like going through the literary classics we we're required to read for class. Again though not questioning if a lot of love went into these teams, every team has (even those by Applerill). That all being said, the 67 albums are quite beautiful, Forever Changes, Piper and Velvet&Nico are all stunning and have been favorites at one point or another, while The Doors and Sgt Pepper's do less for me personally they are still quite revelatory albums. The singles team is quite a bit weaker, though, with the exception of Respect.


Think 65 edges this out, but will listen to the Temptations record before voting.
