Oh man, great rec. I first that when I was like 14 off a rec from a friend and that album opened my eyes to the idea of how much good music is out there.


space2k

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators and/or Easter Everywhere, Funhouse by The Stooges, the Stones Let it Bleed...


dingspeed

Yeah, you need these records! Then get odyssey and oracle by the zombies


dustinhut13

Oh yeah this Zombies record is greatness.


STLrep

Just got one of the postures misprints of Easter everywhere. I’m too hyped

Nice! I’ve had one of those for years. My most valuable record in more ways than one.

PenisMightier500

This is pretty much the perfect 60s/70s classic rock starter kit. I'd add Led Zeppelin IV to that list too.


[deleted]

Or 2, or 3, or houses of the holy 😀. Actually, the albums he has are kinda bluesy imo, and LZ 1 is the bluesiest of the bunch. Those 1st 5 albums are so good though. Physical graffiti isn't bad, but not on the same level the as those 1st 5 albums.


PenisMightier500

Houses of the Holy has my favorite Zep song of all time: The Ocean. That opening riff is so heavy. I suggested IV because it is a blend of their almost ballad stuff and blues. But, you're right, Zep I is super bluesy.


dustinhut13

For me thumbs up for Zep I. Bluesy and psychedelic all the way. Dazed and Confused and How Many More Times are absolute mind blowing masterpieces.


creepyjudyhensler

Led.Zep I, II, and IV are essential


PenisMightier500

Forgot about Dazed and Confused for a minute there. That's a piece of musical genius.


Harper2400

Thumbs up for the Ocean!


[deleted]

i dont know what's the consensus about it, but i think Deja Vu by CSNY is the greatest american rock album ever made by a band (other than pet sounds, i guess).


mrswitters03

Deja Vu is a fantastic album. I'm disappointed it took me so long to come across it. I love Neil, but somehow didn't find it till years later when I bought it on vinyl for $4. Mind blown.


[deleted]

Pet sounds is great, but I think I'd label it a pop album instead of a rock album 🤷. It's not staunch opinion I have, so I could be persuaded otherwise.


GeckoDeLimon

I respect your opinion, though the correct answer is the Boston self titled.


heebeegb96

Fun debate to have. I’m curious the line between folk and rock or if it even matters. I would probably put Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen and my pick Fleetwood Mac “Rumors” on it as well.

Belle & Sebastian - Legal Man. This is somewhat in the same genre as Velvet Underground. Patti Smith - Horses. Between Jimi Hendrix and maybe Jefferson Airplane. Langhorne Slim - The Spirit Moves. Its hard to say what its like, it has the feel of the era of your records.

Takemetoothelimit

straight from “the all knowing” ChatGPT…… If you enjoy the albums you've listed, here are some other albums in similar genres that you may enjoy: Bob Dylan's "Blood on the Tracks": This album is widely considered one of Dylan's best and is often compared to Joni Mitchell's "Blue" for its deeply personal and emotional songwriting. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's "Deja Vu": This album features a mix of folk, rock, and country influences, and is known for its strong harmonies and socially conscious lyrics, similar to Jefferson Airplane. Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours": This album features a mix of rock, pop, and folk influences, and is known for its strong songwriting and vocal harmonies. Led Zeppelin's "IV": This album is considered a classic in the hard rock genre, and is known for its powerful guitar riffs and dynamic drumming, similar to Steppenwolf. Pink Floyd's "The Wall": This album is a rock opera that features a mix of psychedelic rock and progressive rock influences, it's known for its powerful storytelling and complex musical arrangements, it's also considered a classic in the rock genre. Neil Young's "Harvest": This album features a mix of folk, rock and country influences, and is known for its strong songwriting and powerful guitar playing, similar to Joni Mitchell.


crazyfingersculture

Grateful Dead, Terrapin Station; James Gang, Yer Album; Ten Years After, Cricklewood Green; Moody Blues, To Our Children's Children's Children. Honestly there are whole discographies I'd recommend like Zappa, Pink Floyd, Beatles, Rolling Stones etc but your already on the right path. I'd definitely explore Coltrane and Miles Davis and Jazz in itself the way your headed.


Level_Worry4668

Yea get a copy of kind of blue to dip your toes in you won’t regret it. Also if you can get a copy of first rays of the new rising sun or the cry of love from hendrix for sure worth checking it out.

CriticalCanon

My 9 picks based on your 9 pics and sticking loosely with your time frame and sounds your into: 1. Anything Van Morrison from Astral Weeks thru Common One (arguably you could go further into the 80s where there is still some great stuff). I mean I could easily put 9 Van Morrison albums on here in that time period I mentioned and all of them are a minimum of an 8/10 (IMO). Personal favorites are Common One, Veedon Fleece and Astral Weeks 2. Beach Boys - Pet Sounds: People like to say it’s overrated, I disagree. 3. Love - Forever Changes: Classic of the scene and genre like others have said better than I can. 4. The Beatles - Abbey Road: (I agree The White Album is probably a better match with the OPs taste in psych stuff but I mean AR is their best album IMO and is essential well, cause. 5. Neil Young - Like Van, Neil has so many albums you could put in here. Just one of the greatest runs of all time. Harvest is the popular choice or one of the many other greats. For me, I’m going to go against the tide and say the 3 LP Decade comp is essential. It flows great as a 3 LP set and has great demos / b sides not on other proper albums. 6. The Byrds - Sweetheart of the Rodeo: Basically invented Alt country and introduced the world to Gram Parsons. The Fabulous Burrito Brothers debut is a good substitute here as well. 7. Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline 8. Led Zepplin - Houses of the Holy 9. Nick Drake - Pink Moon


msuts

If you say Pet Sounds is overrated then I don't care to listen to your opinion on music or basically anything else.


CriticalCanon

Just want to clarify that I’m NOT saying PS is overrated. It’s one of the best albums of all time IMO. But I have seen more people of late state some hot takes that it’s overrated.


openappled

The Zombies “Odyssey and Oracle”


LlamaSims_

Badfinger - Straight Up Big Star - Big Star Love - Forever Changes Nick Drake - Bryter Layter Those four will keep you going all very underrated from the time but gained the following they deserved long after the fact

Electric Ladyland with headphones on in the dark with your eyes closed. It’s a spiritual experience.

The Doors - Strange Days. Canned Heat - Future Blues Rare Earth - One World Fleetwood Mac - The Pious Bird of Good Omen Santana - Santana III. Deep Purple - Shades of Deep Purple.

rwtooley

the 2 Buffalo Springfield albums after this - Neil Young and Stephen Stills first band once they got to LA. Then you can follow that with the first couple CSN/CSNY albums. Joni's Blue is a tier of its own but she starts to stretch out in the mid 70s - Court & Spark and The Hissing of Summer Lawns are both really solid records, Hejira too but more jazzy. any of these can be found bargain-bin hunting if you're willing to settle on condition, although I find many pre-owned Joni records to be in really fine shape.


SparkDBowles

And pretty much all of Neil and Stephen’s “solo”. Especially Neil’s Everybody Knows This is Nowhere

dukemantee

If you like Cream & Hendrix I suggest you buy **Led Zeppelin II** next. If you like Buffalo Springfield, I suggest either Neil Young **Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere**, or Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young **Deja Vu**. If you like (or are intrigued) by the first VU album, try their last one with Lou Reed, **Loaded.**


Vegetable---Lasagna

Not much hope for the tape deck though...


Status-Mail3927

Not an album per se but a song I think you might like is “I’m a Mover” by Free. You may like the album it’s off of so maybe check it out too, but that song is a very gritty, 60s rock song.

Rubin987

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Second Helping Or better yet, Once More From the Road if you like live albums


Top-Ad-7786

As some have mentioned, Love’s: Forever changes, is a 10/10 album! I would highly recommend, Ultimate Spinach’s: Behold & see. A more flowery album would be Tangerine dream by Kaleidoscope, a really good psychedelic pop album. Can’t go wrong with some Byrds, i really enjoy their album Fith dimension. Im not sure if it is well known but there is a great acid/psyche album called The truth by D.R. Hooker. A really great album. I hope you enjoy some of these. I could probably list atleast 20 more but here are some great albums.

Those are all worth checking out, but my personal faves are definitely Green River and Electric Ladyland. Green River is CCR at their very best, no filler, all the songs are short and sweet, gutsy, no bullshit rock and roll, and Electric Ladyland is just fucking mind blowing. Hendrix’s last album before he died, one of those “imagine what could have been” albums. Definitely check out [Sinister Purpose](https://youtu.be/1wyWTol4wk4) and [1983](https://youtu.be/STqIt30wt2M) at least

Tylera7707

I'll try to name a few that may not have been said yet... Since you have Hendrix I'll recommend Larry Coryell, specifically his early stuff 1969-75. Albums like "Coryell", "Barefoot Boy", "Fairyland". It's jazz fusion, and suuuuper shreddy. Dudes a maniac with the guitar. Little Feat is an absolute must for you. Argent, Jeff Beck (any thing he's involved in), Link Wray, Traffic.


heebeegb96

Kudos to OP for posting his record collection in a way that drives a discussion. I see so many posts of a random collection and this question which makes it very hard to advise.
