Best Vinyl Records from the 1960s

[@oliviabriggs3313]

The Beatles were never basic , they were completely new to the world of music!

[@theworldwidehistoryofhisto2868]

The Beatles aren't overrated!!!!!

[@NicolasCollart]

The Moody Blues also is a fantastic band from the 60’s, they are not as known today but they were a huge influence on prog rock.

[@bloodfart3331]

Nicolas Collart true. Procol Harum is another crazy underrated band from that era/style. And I almost forgot the Zombies!

[@bluepeng8895]

I only know about the Moody Blues because one of the members, Denny Laine, was in a band called Wings with Paul McCartney from the Beatles.

[@alphasuck6538]

Yes! A question of balance

[@ahtepacholiztli]

Pet Sounds, Led Zeppelin I, The Doors, Sgt Peppers, Blonde on Blonde, The Piper At The Gates of Dawn, The White Album, The Velvet Underground & Nico, Are You Experienced, Let It Bleed, Revolver, etc...

[@kyleswartz7268]

I love every era of the Bee Gees, so I'm glad you recommended Odessa. People tend to not dig into their discography because of SNF which I think is a shame. Those people are missing out on some psychedelic pop masterpieces.

[@lilyverilla4431]

Just gonna say Led Zeppelin didn't split cause of internal differences, they split because Bonham died and Plant thought it would be disrespectful to go on without him. "There was no room for a replacement. The idea of continuing by sticking someone else back there on the roster was just bad taste."- interview w/ Plant.

[@TooManyRecords]

I never knew that. Thank you for informing me. Very interesting stuff.

[@rosssmith173]

Led Zeppelin back in the day would make Hedley look like angels

[@janiwan1595]

100 % correct

[@DarthAlgar5]

Literally came here to say the same thing lol

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

That is exactly right. How anyone making a video who doesn't do the simple research on that fact is sad.

[@flimsybrendan]

I'm so happy to hear you talk about Simon & Garfunkel! They don't get the credit they deserve.

[@TooManyRecords]

AGREED

[@kirkmoore4515]

My ex was 9 years younger then me. Her sister, about 4 more years younger, got kicked out of her mother's house & moved in with us in the early '80s. She was a total heavy metalhead, tweaker & hated old music. 5 years later, I guess I must have gotten to her. She distained Ozzy & most heavy metal & was absolutely hooked on Simon & Garfunkel, The Beatles, The Moody Blues The Kinks & The Stones and still is to this day. The first hook i got in her was "Where have all the good times gone?" & "You Really Got Me". Never been more proud of myself for saving a persons soul.

[@biggawinnacrapsa3870]

@@kirkmoore4515 - Well then, I think it's about time you learned how and when to use apostrophes, such as in person's. Also, if you could take the time to learn the difference between 'then' and 'than' there's less of a chance of you coming off sounding like an ignorant moron. Thank you, that is all.

[@MsPili1]

I just discovered a bunch of vynils from my dad in the 80’s and i found abbey road 1969 edition 🙊😍

[@thislazylife]

13th Floor Elevator's "Easter Everywhere", and Love's "Forever Changes." Two of my favorite albums from the 60's since I first discovered I love 60's music back in '86. Even met Arthur Lee once, circa 1989. Intimidating dude, for sure.

[@richardfinlayson1524]

i strongly agree....2 classics

[@mcharrison23]

No doubt, Easter Everywhere is Amazing !

[@bloodfart3331]

He'll yeah! Both indisputable classics! I'd add Moby Grape's first album as well.

[@garrapaterorulez5017]

I bought Odessa (the velvet cover) because of this video and I couldn't be happier Sincerely thank you ❤😊

[@TooManyRecords]

Amazing record, no?

[@skepticmonkey6923]

I dived so deep and so fast in to metal and prog rock that i forget i have barely listened to these classic bands at all

[@sadistdog]

I have the schizoid man album art on two different walls in my room. I absolutely love it, it’s my favorite album art of all time. One day I want to have the record from each release, I just love it so much.

[@alexandria8255]

I have Sounds of Silence LP and used to have their Wednesday Morning 3 A.M. lp. that was awesome too...

[@thecrippledrummer]

200 is huge? Watching these KZbin videos makes me feel even older than I am. Music that should be known to anyone who is a vinyl collector, but isn’t, is one of my biggest pet peeves.

[@Laraine321]

Music exploded in the 60's....keep the rock classic videos coming

[@vintageandvinyl]

The Beatles are always a classic choice!

[@Perbis12]

Fun Fact, The Bee Gees came from a small town in England called Chorlton where I live which is not that far from Liverpool where the Beatles started.

[@pequenoguia]

Love Simon and Garfunkel!

[@richardfinlayson1524]

the beatles are not overrated, it actually seems trendy to dismiss them these days, but you have to view them in context, they were a trully great band.....

[@bloodfart3331]

richard finlayson I would go one step further and say I don't think it's even possible to overrate the importance/quality of the Beatles recorded output! They were literally the gold standard.

[@sethfields3609]

Oh my gosh Matt I LOVE ODESSA! WHAT A GREAT PICK! The gold embossed letters on the red velvet cover on my copy are nearly faded to nothing, but it's still a beautiful jacket.

[@TooManyRecords]

Glad to see another fan of it :)

[@adbasketball23]

Another great Bee Gees song recommendation... Stop (Think Again) Incredible song.

[@mikeangelo6667]

Speaking of The Bee Gees sounding like The Beatles, try "In My Own Time".

[@michaelmarino3013]

You'll never see my face again....fine song.....no doubt...

[@robertwalton7565]

I whole-heatedly endorse your choice of all three Simon & Grafunkel 60's albums. Essential then. essential now.

[@bobbyluna8079]

He’s like idk what to say to you idk why your watching 😂😂😂

[@bloodfart3331]

Miles Davis - Bitches Brew (1969) is an audiophile's eargasm on headphones!

[@Dog-999i]

Great list. I would also recommend Hot Rats by Frank Zappa and Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes. Both albums were very ahead of their time.

[@trdidion]

It's not complete without Pet Sounds

[@TooManyRecords]

I could do 10 versions of this video and still not scratch the surface of the beautiful music that came out of the 60s!

[@trdidion]

Too Many Records is Pet Sounds in your collection ?

[@MikeGervasi]

It's true. The counter challenges between Wilson and L/M inspired them to do one better every time. Without each other we wouldn't have Revolver, Pet Sounds, Pepper, or Smile.

[@mikeangelo6667]

Do you have any of those obscure '60's bands like Fever Tree, Rotary Connection, Ultimate Spinach, The Millennium, The David, Chrysalis, The United States of America, The Serpent Power or Clear Light?

[@krisgudmundsson4839]

I have tried to listen to Pet Sounds many times, but in my opinion it sucks major...

[@schialynn00]

Great stuff, brother. As always.

[@GroovyLisa]

You should do another video eventually on this. They're so many great artist from the 60's. I saw king crimson so I had to click.

[@booklover3959]

Super Kudos for giving Simon and Garfunkel the spotlight! I adore their music which is so AMAZING! So now I know you have good taste in music and women. if you have not already tried Kate Bush-The Hounds of Love and Prefab Sprout- Steve McQueen then sell the kitchen sink if you have to and grab um. Since you said you love good melodies ...these two groups are fantastic. Let me know what you think with a comment if you can. Thanks for vid.

Good Selection. Steely Dan Aja was recorded incredibly well and sounds great on the turn table. One of my favorite recorded albums. 2nd Would be Supertramp - Breakfast in America. Another incredible recorded album. Awesome on the turn table too. Both a must for ear candy.

But neither from the 60s.

Nice video! I've got a copy of the first German pressing of Abbey Road in G+ condition for 15 bucks including shipping last week, it sounds amazing... and I already have a late 70s pressing of PSR&T by Simon & Garfunkel and one of the latest 200g pressings of ITCOTCK.

[@billkeon880]

Essentially what you have to do to evaluate if a band is overrated is compare them to their contemporaries. Beatles and Dylan were light years ahead of their competition, LIGHTYEARS. Btw, the King Crimson album gatefold on the outside shows a ball (or sound..?) travelling into his right ear. The movie The Graduate soundtrack is basically from those three albums

[@leon9021]

The 2010 reissues of King Crimson are pretty great, says most people, and I agree. Never heard an original though.

[@axel.foley.1984]

I have like 5x of the originals. Got them all for under $5. Can't part with them.

The original version of In The Court of the Crimson King album cover had a pebble textured surface.

[@baronkeithprevostjr6810]

Hey My favorite Bettles song is yellow submarine from the 1960s

[@johncollier9280]

I consider 2 albums to be perfect-first note to last. Simon & Garfunkel-Bookends (some might think Voices Of Old People detracts from the perfection but I think it fits nicely) and Nick Drake-Bryter Layter (again, I've had people criticize the song Poor Boy but I think it's an integral part of a perfect album).

[@MikeGervasi]

Listen, out of those 3 S&G albums Bookends is clearly the best. It's the most focused and as close to a concept album for them as you'll get. Totally cohesive and a fantastic ride the entire album. The one S&G everyone must own.

[@akbarx441]

The New York genius singer/songwriter, Laura Nyro, is the artist every songwriter and producer listens to. She performed at Monterey Pop 1967. Many rappers have sampled her, including Kanye. See Nyro KZbin discussions by Elton John, Todd Rundgren, Alice Cooper. She's the artists artist. Rock hall of fame, songwriters hall of fame.

You need to check out a fourth Simon and Garfunkel album. "Wednesday Morning, 3 AM. It has the original "Sound of Silence", as well as many other great songs as "Sparrow", "Bleecker Street", ""The Sun is Burning" The "Sounds of Silence" track is acoustic and in my opinion much better than the Later release with the rock music added.

question: why does your King Crimson have words on the cover? never seen that before - like David Crosby's solo album which originally had no words on the cover but the reissue plastered 'if i could only remember my name' which kinda spoilt the joke...

[@lincoln3x7]

The Bee Gees were amazing as a disco era band as well... all the song writing, composing and performing talent they developed in the 60s came with them into the 70s. The world needs to stop with the lame disco hate & embrace the idea that all genres have winners and losers. The Bee Gees were top of the heap with talent. Get over it.

[@martyjewell5683]

WOW, very interesting video. Where to start?? The Beatles, side two of Abbey Road plays like pretty much one song. Seriously, all the music runs together and that is fantastic. Can you play only one cut from that LP side?? Of course the drum solo near the end sounds awesome (if you have speakers with good bass response). I did want to comment on the King Crimson disc. For years I had to put up with surface noise on the cut "In the Court of the Crimson King" You know, that really quiet passage (with the wire brushes), man, talk about dynamic range! Not until a CD version did I truly experience the "silence" on that song. Breathtaking, to say the least. Lastly Simon and Garfunkel do have superb harmonies. I saw CSN do an acoustic show in the 1990's and that was something too, fantastic harmonies. I lived in NYC (well grew up there) in the 1980's and remember the Central Park free concert that Simon and Garfunkel performed. The smell of weed was so thick you could cut it with a knife, I did contribute to that smoke cloud. Funny, nobody got busted??? Thanks for a good video, some good LP picks. Coulda stuck in the Kinks Kronikles, but that's my opinion.

Overrated? The top selling band in history. Every time they make an archive release it’s like the biggest band in the world just released a new record. My argument is they are just as big now as ever. I was three years old hen the Beatles broke up but they have been one of my favourite bands my whole life. It blows me away that these records still don’t sound dated.

Anybody who says The Beatles are overrated knows nothing about songwriting, about music, about music history. When I hear that from somebody I lose all respect for them. I know they don't know what the hell they're talking about and can't be taken seriously on any level. And Abby Road is their best LP.

[@poetryonplastic]

Growing up I really didn't like the beatles, mostly because I didnt get to experience the full albums and just heard singles. But after getting into record collecting I found myself buying and listening to more and more beatles records. Especially the post-rubber soul stuff. One of my favorite pieces in my collection is my toshiba-emi "pro-use" copy of Abbey Road. Just a comment on King Crimson pressings. The recent 200g king crimson reissues authorized by robert frip sound really really good. To me on my system they sound much better than original US pressings (enough for me to sell mine). Of course as with most british rock, the original UK pressings are still king, but for Court, an original pink island pressing is unobtainable for most. I only have one original UK pressing of their catalog (Lizard) and it absolutely smokes every other version I've heard.
