let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I have amended my list to add Spirit's other 1968 album, as well as to remove Tull's debut.

I've only just remembered that Caravan's debut was a 1968 release, not 1969, so I've amended my list appropriately and have moved Spirit's second album to Honorable mention so Traffic still makes the top 10.
