The Collectors' self-titled debut. A beautiful gem indeed and unjustly overlooked on this site.

Jugband Blues is the testament of Syd Barrett and Set The Controls is the baptism of Roger Waters.

The others are good albums. Saucerful is history.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I was living in '68 and my sister was born that year.  I'm quite sure my parents weren't listening to any of those, though.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Yeah it's too bad not a lot of people have reviewed it, it's a great album. I didn't add to many 'big names' because I hoped some people might vote on USA and the Collectors. Both are significantly better then the others in the list in my opinion.

Really good list. Music In A Doll's House? What a strange album. I listen to it in it's entirety.

The Collectors! A hidden gem, I was lucky enough to hear it in my music teacher's car a few years back on a roadtrip... all too underrated.

I had never heard of this band. I found a few songs on YouTube. Sounds like essential psychedelic proto-prog to me. I think that this album is overlooked and very interesting, but not on par with the Collectors' debut, ... but I should have to hear it some more times to get into it.
