Wow! This has changed sooooo much since the last time I checked it out. Great that you updated it based on the your singer-songwriter project. Almost too much stuff to explore here.

Still haven't fallen for Looks Like Rain yet but I'll keep trying!

[Hayden]

Well lookie lookie here.

Always something new to pick up. West Side Soul's going into the to-listen bucket.

[Mercury]

Oh cool! Thanks for the comments so far friends.

It’s funny cuz I am in the middle of a massive blues kick. And many of the great albums I’ve been listening to have been from the 60s. And while they are mostly represented here, there are some changes that need to be made. And I will do that.

Including a new number 1. Although Looks Like Rain is still great.

[Mercury]

EDIT: I just made a huge change on this chart and I have listed the new chart below. Much more accurate percentage representation of great blues in there (I count 17, well, between 17 and 22 depending on your definition of the blues)/ Also y'know how i have been vouching for 1969 being the greatest year ever recently? well, I may have gone to far... 29 albums from 1969. basically double second best (1967).

I made no effort to limit the Dylan love hear, or the Miles love. But I tried to reduce the presence of the Beatles... but I just couldn't do it. I really do love a lot of their albums.

Peter Green is subtly the 3rd most dominant presence on this chart. The guitar legend, blues god is a driving force on 4 albums here, and it could have been more but I tried not to overdo it. He's my fave bluesmen ever (outisde of maybe Little Walter).
