I don't have many albums from the 60's hence why it's a short list. Hopefully it will expand

89.888* Outstanding album. Took a bit to warm up to at first as I had 3 other Zep albums before getting this so some of the slower tracks didn't gel well with me. Now I love it. Up there with the best of their other albums 08/26

89.333* This is more rock than the debut but you can also hear the start of the transitional sound that was to be Zep III. With Led Zep, it's hard to pick a favorite album. Seems to go in cycles. This was once my fave due to the overall rock nature of it. Now I prefer others but that doesn't lessen how great this album is. 05/26

88.57* Side 1 (first 4 songs) on this is close to perfection. Bit disappointed with the title track but as a whole this is the ultimate psychedelic album. Cementing Floyd as unique game makers. Fucking gold.

88.50 I seem to be going through a bit of a 'Doors' re-appreciation phase at the moment. Always liked them but enjoying them a heap more nowadays. This is my fave studio album from them. Cracker cover. "True sailing is dead"

88.181* 1967 was just the top year for the Beatles with both this plus Sgt Peppers being two of the greatest albums ever released. An amazing achievement. Hence why the Beatles are one of the greatest bands ever. EVER!!!!

87.72 Great album. What more needs be said. I seem to be fortunate in acquiring a copy (CD) that has all songs from both US and UK on it. Lucky me. This is almost a greatest hits album. That says a lot for a studio album.

87.384* A great album. Was once my favorite Beatles albums but has slipped back in the last few years. It's some of the deeper cuts that make it, such as 'Mr. Kite', and 'She's Leaving Home'. How can you not love it? 10/26

86.272* Great album. The Doors are The Doors. One of a kind. 'The End' just oozing atmosphere. 'The Crystal Ship' is an under rated gem. Fine album right through. 11/25

86.11 One of, if not the best studio album the Stones have released. Contains some of their best ever tracks. Golden age for them.

82.785* I love the sound and style of the Stones during their earliest period before the expansion of their sound. When it was basic rock n roll & R&B. Still love where they went which shows the caliber and how great the Stones are. They could change and adapt their sound and still be top of the game. Well done Stones. 08/26
