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...

Saucerful for me. Also
Moodies - In Search Of The Lost Chord
The Move - (s/t)
Family - Music From A Doll's House
Deep Purple - The Book Of Taliesyn
Tyrannosaurus Rex - My People Were Fair And Had The Sky In Their Hair... But Now They're Content To Wear The Stars In Their Brows
The Nice - Ars Longa Vita Brevis
Jeff Beck - Truth
/edit - I was 11 in '68 I was listening to the stuff in bold around 68/69; Family, The Nice and Tyranno a couple of years later. ------------- What? |

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. |

| 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. |

| Don`t forget the album by Touch a bridge between Psychedelia and prog |

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. -------------
