Not only is it, for one of the first times, an album conceived as an entity, as opposed to a collection of potential singles, but the absence of filler was in itself the main incentive/ challenge that pushed Brian Wilson to make "Pet sounds". Just a quick glance through the track-list reveals an incredible amount of classics. Listening to them, one can only marvel at their ever-lasting freshness. The warm, inventive production doesn't hurt either.

A man, an acoustic guitar, a discreet producer (Paul Simon) who lets the tapes roll, and a great performance by a unique talent was captured for posterity.

One side electric, one side acoustic, this album contains some of Dylan's most enduring classics. And those great, mind-blowing lyrics...

The Who burst on the scene with this energy bomb already displaying much of what they would be admired for in the coming years. Clever hard pop.

One of the two or three Shankar albums that changed the course of music through the influence it had on fellow musicians (David Crosby, George Harrison et al). Apart from that, it is just simply enjoyable and ravishing

Wow. 51 albums in common. Great number one. When I went through a spell of depression I played the White Album constantly and it helped me. It was my favourite Beatles album for a long time. Then my favourite was Revolver for years. In the last year Sgt Pepper has become my favourite. I play it all the time. Plenty of other great albums and a few to discover especially Donovan. I am a fellow Scotsman and only know his singles. Now I want to hear his albums. It would be good to see more French music of the 60s apart from Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin. But I suppose you are limited for space.
Tres bien!
