 Topic: Your 10 Favourite Prog Albums of 1969Posted: May 21 2021 at 02:27 |

Undoubtedly, the two biggest musical events of 1969 were the huge Woodstock festival in August and the Altamont Speedway concert in December of that year, although Altamont is remembered now for all the wrong reasons, as The Rolling Stones asked the Hells Angels to provide "security" at the event, with disastrous consequences.
 Here's my Top 10 prog favourites for that memorable year:-
Andromeda - Andromeda Andwella's Dream - Love and Poetry Arcadium - Breathe Awhile Arzachel - Arzachel Gandalf - Gandalf King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King The Moody Blues - To Our Children's Children's Children The Music Emporium - The Music Emporium Rare Bird - Rare Bird Spooky Tooth - Spooky Two Three other worthy contenders:- Jethro Tull - Stand Up Santana - Santana It's a Beautiful Day - It's a Beautiful Day Edited by Psychedelic Paul - May 21 2021 at 05:21 |

Some of the albums you mentioned could have been on my list too, like for example "Ahead Rings out" or "Tommy".

Starting in 1969 and onwards there is too much good music. It would be so easy to do a top 50 or a 100 :) I added Krokodil because I have not listened to it in ages and still listening to it a second time in a row now. Just curious everyone, was going to add It’s a Beautiful Day another great album.. But curious when I listen to the beginnings of the track Bombay Calling... is it just me or does anyone get the same feeling that Deep Purple must have had that in their head this beginnings tune when they did Child in Time a year later? Could be just my imagination.

^ Thanks for reminding me about It's a Beautiful Day's debut. I've added the album to my worthy contenders list. Sadly, it's not a beautiful day outside today, as it's currently damp and raining, but that's English weather for you.

^ Thanks! I like Krokodil too. I'm looking forward to sorting through the Swamp of Psychedelic Tapes and discovering An Invisible World Revealed in my Krautrock blog. There's so much great music around that Getting Up for the Morning is a real pleasure, although I'm still learning to Sweat and Swim in the wonderful world of prog.

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 |
