My Dad's Favourite 60s Albums!

[@AntHero18]

The amount of Britishness on this channel is sickening and I can't describe how much I love it. Keep it up!

[@TheCornishCockney]

One simple reason. This little island produced the best music in history. The Beatles started it all and the bar was raised to such an extent by them that British bands responded and were inspired to make the highest quality music ever,and we've pretty much dominated ever since.

[@TheCornishCockney]

@The Love Witch eh? No,why?

[@marktrickett5081]

Rubbish

[@danteparcona]

This is without doubt my favourite recordcollectors’s channel in KZbin. The commentaries of Niamh are full of good taste and humble deepness, and her dad is a great master of wisdom and a precious memory of a true survivor of the first Rock Era. Greetings from Peru and congratulations!

[@calum1741]

Your Dad is awesome. A legend. He is very knowledgeable 😊

[@simond1574]

First of all, great T Shirts :-) My list would be: 1. Beach Boys - Pet Sounds 2. The Zombies - Odessey and Oracle 3. Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets 4. The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour 5. King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King 6. Led Zeppelin - I 7. Cream - Disraeli Gear 8. Love - Forever Changes 9. Small Faces - Ogden's Nut Gone Flake 10.Can - Monster Movie Honorable Mentions: The Doors - The Doors Jimi Hendrix - ELectric Ladyland Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left 13th Floor Elevators - The Psychedelic World of the 13th Floor Elevators Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed Thunder and Roses - King of the Black Sunrise Yes - Yes I could fill the list with Beatles, Stones, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin alone :-)

[@e.t.4824]

Love the father and daughter segments. And lots of thumbs up for Pet Sounds! If you want to fall in love with an underrated 60s classic, although a huge cult favorite for many years--check out The Zombies' Odyssey and Oracle. When I heard when I was about 21, it totally changed the way I understood popular music, because I said, this is the best record and almost no one knows about it--what does that say about pop music.

[@JohmathanBSwift]

Excellent . John Coltrane to The Beach Boys. That's the way we used to music back then , everything . You've got tons of albums , try and get some of them signed. If Robin Trower comes to where you live , get an album by him, he's awesome and will sign. Alan Parson's is another . Yes, you will stand out and have to wait, but it's worth meeting these incredible musicians's .

[@danielrobinson5035]

One of the greatest things you can pass on to your daughter is your love of great music. It’s great to see her embrace it.We need more young people like her.well done !

[@kaspiann]

dad saw the beatles?? whoa the man is a living archive!! love the prog nerds ;0)

[@mindriot69]

I so love your channel. I’m 57 (58 in August) and I love hearing the views and thoughts of young people on music of the past that I grew up with in the 60s, 70s & 80s. I appreciate your humility and love for the music. The videos with your dad are fantastic as well. My first big concert was The Doors in Dec 1968 at the Los Angeles Forum when I was 5. I dont remember the music as much as I remember the brilliance of color everywhere. Thank you for all of your videos. ✌🏽

[@nigelstansfield1644]

5!LOL.This is just the kind of thing we love.Thanks for sharing.

[@muncher64]

Your dad has excellent taste. Thanks for posting. Ditto Corndog's suggestion of "Forever Changes."

[@frankholdman743]

I love your Dads choices! I agree with his review of Pet Sounds! Also I would add The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society!!

[@MykeLewisMusic]

"When the Music's Over" is one of the greatest songs ever! 🤘

[@coryc1904]

I like "the end" better. Because it says googoo gaga.

[@SunnnyDay]

In addition to musical innovation , the 60's also benefited from engineering advancements that gave way to recordings done in stereo and the use of more than 4 tracks in the studio.

[@larryklawiter9168]

Great that you have shared, and passed on, your love of classic rock music to your daughter.

[@osliverpool]

Ah, Peter Green. I was fortunate to see him with Splinter Group after he emerged from his dark days. Greatly missed indeed.

[@corndogsanchez2752]

Those are all great picks, Dad, and I would add "Forever Changes" by the '60's L.A. band LOVE, considered an advanced masterpiece of songcraft, which went largely unappreciated when it was released. Happy to see your daughter carrying the torch for these amazing achievements of musical wizardry that inspired and nourished us during those tumultuous times.

[@martyhopkirk6826]

A definite yes to Forever Changes!

[@kevinsunday-white7656]

Thank you for your programs with your father. I realy appreciate that you totally respect your father, and let him go on a bit about things. I for one like that part, and you are so patient. I see you in the future being a presenter/interviewer. Keep up the great work!

[@kevinputry5655]

You two are groovy! And of course so is the 60's. Lot's of great tunes from back then. Niamh, you are so lucky to have a dad that likes good music.

[@sakeboersma]

Great daughter, great dad!! I love watching it!!! Thnx!!!

[@fatbelly27]

Nice to see a bit of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. Genius. Also Jefferson Airplane - they were never huge in the UK and I only recently got into them. Likewise MC5.

[@sergiomelloni7886]

great choices of albums! Electric Ladyland ... The White Album .... Coltrane... oh man... That deserves a subscribe lol

[@jbojoify]

woah im 21 and I agree with everything your dad said and we have all the same favorite bands and albums. Thats crazy! Hes got great taste!

[@jupitermadcat]

Love the videos with your Dad. He's one cool music guy.

[@napsahtava]

Your dad is the best. I lit up the moment the album jacket of Then Play On appeared on screen, and seeing Live/Dead just hit it home for me. Superb selection. I could imagine endless conversations about these albums and others.

[@mosi1972]

What a great dad with a magnificant taste!

[@j.j.4150]

You guys are a great Duo. Love seeing the bond displayed by the musical passion🤘.

[@mikewest1542]

Cant wait for the 70s albums , you both have impeccable taste!

[@perryjulian2135]

Just great keep going you and your dad amazing

[@mattnewman1274]

I don't know what I am more impressed with the great selection of music you've highlighted or the fact that your dad is wearing a TV shirt of my favorite band!

[@lluiscornet9020]

My dad was born in 1955, and I'm 20. And I think we share the same fav albums with you😂 the 60's and 70's were the golden age of music

[@theyuwipi1209]

Superb as always! Top 10's are tough. They force you to leave out some that are tough to drop of the list. Excellent picks. Good memories of the '60s. Was in college then and it seemed like every week one dorm room or another would be playing something new I hadn't heard yet. Thanks for another very enjoyable video.

[@fabiosantesarti4081]

One video has just been enough to love you two. Especially your dad. I'm 61 and love (give or take) the same albums you do. All the best from Rome!

[@progrockabuse]

Love these videos you make with your Dad/Peter, you can tell the love and passion that you share together through music. Some great selections there.

[@andyhill2036]

I've done gigs supporting Radiohead and Eric Bell (ex Thin Lizzy). It was a long time ago, I was younger. I love listening to your Dad's expertise musically. I enjoyed this Niamh, thank you.

[@paulcoffey2667]

I just love watching you and your Dad together talking about his albums > ( while i'm having a nice cup of tea and a slice ) could we maybe meet your Mom one day ? ( oh do please say .... Yes ) ? .

[@davidryan6441]

It Took 8m.29 seconds For The Brilliance That is Dark Star To Appear......Another Great Video Thank You.

[@oldnytv5911]

Great video! I envy your Dad that he got to see The Grateful Dead in 1972! I personally think that was their best year of live performances. When it comes to The Dead, 1972 is the gift that keeps on giving! Well done guys!

[@christhompson1393]

Awesome yet another great rundown of a great collection ..Thanks folks Chris Seattle

[@theisenbergs7496]

Love your pics for top 10 60s albums. Great mix of Rock, Psychedelia, Jazz, British Invasion, and Americana. Thank you for sharing.

[@thomsevilla4956]

Brian Wilson is a genius....... Pet Sounds Epic Album!

[@stevecasbierd1431]

Hi Niamh. Only just latched onto your channel and have been watching for the last 4 or 5 hours lol. I saw ELP on the 'Welcome' tour in '74 and although I'd seen Floyd on the 'Dark Side' tour and also Zeppelin, Purple, Sabbath etc. ELP was the best concert I ever saw (as you said with Rush, how can a 3 piece much such a massive sound). Fast forward to the '90's, I saw a band called Quango (John Wetton & Carl Palmer) at a small venue called the Robin Hood in Dudley. The stage was only about 2 feet high and when they did the 'bow' at the end of the set, I managed to shake Carl's hand. I felt like a bloody kid again lol. Just wanted to share that with you as I'm now one of your 6K+ subscribers. Awesome to go from 600 to 6000 in a matter of a week or so xx

[@rogeeeferrari]

Your Dad has very good taste in music Girl, you are very lucky to have been exposed to so much music at a young age. My Father (RIP) did the same for me, good on you Dad, especially the Dead/Airplane albums...

[@alexbillington6813]

A fantastic choice of 60's albums, It is igreat to hear your Dad's memories to the concerts he went to, in the future he could share his own favourite concerts in a video and yourself as well what where your own favourite concerts.

[@scottgraves8251]

The 50 year anniversary White album was one of my fav 2020 album. The remix and remastering resulted in me feeling like I listen to this album for the first time. Say hi to your dad. I wish I could have a pint with him a talk music. cheers

[@davidwhitehead7369]

Really enjoy your videos, love to hear dad reminiscing about his good old days (same era as me !). Keep up the great work. PS How about an appreciation of Bowie's Albums of the 1970s ?

[@philipgior3312]

Your dad's taste just rules! Nearly every selection I also have in my collection and is as dear to me as to him. He's a bit older than I am, I got into this stuff retroactively, but he was so lucky to have had the chance to see these immortal groups live back in the day. Great stuff

[@archiemacdonald553]

Lovely seeing you and your dad together again havnt got throu all your videos as yet I spin cds ,and have a problem getting good quality cds of the sixtys ,come on steve wilson keep giving those wonderful remasters ,,many thanks ,folks ,😊😊😊

[@double531]

Dad has the knowledge, knows his stuff for sure.

[@maxpower92]

I liked your dads string cheese shirt the other day. Being an old dead head myself, I can definitely drop a few favorite cheese shows on him. I had the great fortune of coming across a hard drive jammed with early live soundboard cheese and around 90% of the Grateful Reads live catalogue.

[@BenRamone2010]

Don't ask me why, but I absolutely love listening to people talk about things they're passionate about. These videos with your Dad are great :)

[@tacosays]

Really enjoy your videos. Fantastic recommendations.🎸🎸

[@orquestraretirada]

Yes! Pet Sounds - just like you, I've listened to this hundreds and hundreds of times! Nice choice, with good taste, of albums from a great decade.

[@steevenfrost]

I'm wondering what you all think about sequencing and how the order of tracks make a significant contribution to producing great albums

[@SirGeorgeButtox]

All great albums. Wonderful decade for music.

[@martinbench3657]

The insight and charm of the two of you got me through the winter

[@the_prog_nerd]

Glad you’ve enjoyed the company!

[@calumm8639]

That's a very good list. It's a testament to how great the music was in the 60s that despite it being a very good list, probably none of them would appear in my top 10.

[@melissa2688]

You got a cool dad! My Dad was cool too. My Dad got to see the early Rock greats like Little Richard, Chuck Berry, etc. My father (and babysitters) were big influences on me when it came to music. Take care and stay safe 😷

[@jadelauren2269]

Love that your dad shouted out ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’! So jealous that he got to see them live, wow 🥰

[@mikeprofo2328]

My pick would include three albums by Simon&Garfunkel, Sounds of Silence, Parsley, Sage...& Bookends.

[@alexgama8265]

Getting home from work and watching your new video 👍🏽

[@thomsevilla4956]

The Doors Strange Days was a fantastic Album! Glad it's on your Dad's list ... :)

[@allotmental.]

Thank you, it gives me inspiration to listen to a few more albums 👍😍

[@lhair02]

the debut album from Zep always is amazing! your dad has a great range of albums varying in all different genres in the list! Great video and I can easily where you get your fanastic taste from!

[@trippknotic]

Good to see your dad in an Opeth tee shirt. Listen to Anketdoten. I’d be surprised if someone hasn’t recommended them already.

[@gonzalocerron8228]

Your dad is great! Good taste. Both of you!

[@cbm19601]

All great picks. I think it's great you and your dad have this in common to share :)

[@pierinmess5415]

Awesome albums. Whenever I feel a bit down, I put Pet Sounds on, and it always cheers me up. Besides the most famous, there are also other amazing tracks that I love such as ''That's Not Me'' or ''Here Today.''

[@maximegervais2213]

I like king crimson " in the court of the crimson king"

[@collettewhitney2141]

Hello there i just subscribed to your channel today. Love prog rock My 10 favourite prog bands are Number one the nice Number two Emerson lake and palmer Number three pink Floyd Number four genesis Number five yes Number six king crimson Number seven caravan Number eight soft machine Number nine rush Number ten hawkwind Also i love German Rock music from the 1970s as well I am looking forward to seeing your next video Prog rock forever 👍👍👍👍❤️💕😊❤️

[@collettewhitney2141]

By the way your dad is amazing Take care Look after yourself and your loved ones in these unsettling times God bless you both 💕❤️😊👍🙏

[@CP-qe2ym]

Sat at home in lockdown and thoroughly enjoying your videos, I have all of your album selections in my collection and will be revisiting them again over the next few days. Great videos, keep 'em coming.

[@paulyh4531]

Another great video you and your dad 👍👍

[@nawtyturnipp787]

I liked all of your dads choices - they were all very good. I was going to say what about Deja Vu by Crosby Stills Nash and Young, but it was released in 1970. However maybe Let it Bleed or Beggars Banquet by the Stones might have made it onto the list. Or even In the Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson, and not forgetting the first Leonard Cohen album. As for who invented prog - what about the Moody Blues?

[@geraldhesch9780]

Again a great video of you and your father ! Fantastic youtube channel. Greetings from vienna, Gerry

[@alexandervaneijken7741]

Unique this father and daughter combo !

[@citizenscriv]

Would love to see you two do a side by side top 10 track comparison of an artist you both like ?

[@paulaidenmusic]

Love this video! Agree with Pet Sounds, it looks like it might be the analogue productions pressing to dad has there?

[@chazblitz]

Another great show Niamh! Funny how much your dads tastes and mine are so similar.

[@Qanzoo]

I totally agree with the point about Procol Harum. Their self titled debut was the first well produced prog album. Some people throw around Electric Music for the Mind and Body, but I don't really see it. I also don't think Zappa/The Mothers of Invetion were truly prog until after Procol Harum.

[@yutumu]

These Father & Daughter videos are lots of fun to watch... keep up the good work! For older, Psychedelic Rock, check out: Mad River, Self titled 1st lp( Mad River ) from 1967. Undeniably West Coast sound with incredible twin lead guitars. If you like Quicksilver Messenger Service, this is similar. AORTA, self titled 1st LP ( Aorta ) from 1969. This is Psychedelic / Progressive music that has many styles synthesized into what is essentially a concept album. Groovy! Spirit, Self titled 1st LP (Spirit ) from 1968. This one, again is classic West Coast Psych at its best. Everything about this is great: Music, Lyrics, incredibly sophisticated LP. Jefferson Airplane, "Crown of Creation" LP from 1968. As great as their earlier record, Surrealistic Pillow was, this in many ways is as good or better. Vocals are superb! The Moody Blues, "In Search of the Lost Chord" LP from 1968. For me, this is one of the Top 10 records of the early Psychedelic / Progressive genre. A nearly perfect creation. Iron Butterfly, "Ball" LP from 1969. Followup LP to their hit LP, In a Gadda Da Vida. This record has the same heavy sound with some very soulful vocals. Not a bad song on it. Pink Floyd, " Piper At the Gates Of Dawn" LP from 1967. While in high school, I told a fellow musician that I really loved this album. He laughed and said Pink Floyd was a joke.. King Crimson, "Lizard" LP from 1970. Not entirely Psych, but out of all of this band's records, for me, this is the one that is the trippiest and is unique in their catalog. Find the 40th Anniversary Steven Wilson Remix LP, the musicianship and various musical styles elevate this record. Steven Wilson has remarked how great it is and underappreciated. Eric Burdon & the Animals, " The Twain Shall Meet" LP from 1968. English soul and pop of Burdon and his animals transplanted to West Coast Psych. Some great songs... Blue Cheer, " New, Improved!" Lp from 1969. The third record from this early Heavy Psych/Metal California band. I love side two, and you probably will too. Some awesome guitar work especially on the songs " Fruit & Icebergs" and "Peace of Mind". you should be able to find most of these on KZbin... check 'em out!

[@kingrobert1st]

Took me on a trip down memory lane!

[@leadzeppbelly]

All fantastic albums! Got everyone of those on CD and about half on vinyl

[@offthebeatentracks4515]

When I lived in L.A., I used to go to a tiny deli, just off Mulholland Drive. I saw Brian Wilson in there all the time. One day, we went in with my daughter and she literally sat a foot away from Brian as he ate his breakfast. I tried to impress upon her how close she was to absolute genius. Brian had an account, so when he finished eating, he just walked out of the restaurant without paying. He wore a thin Hawaiian Shirt and Bermuda shorts with no coat, even though it was February. All he ate was Raisin Bran. No coffee or juice. He would often eat in that deli 2 or 3 meals a day when he's in town. He used to eat lunch (as did I) at a wonderful pizza joint 2 doors down, before it closed. I'd see him and Johnny Ramone in there almost every time I dined there. Your father has immaculate taste.

[@drewj829]

I would have included piper at the gates of dawn . Great list !

[@01real1]

2:55 - 'What a POET Bob Dylan is!' - so true! 5:10 - 'I saw them (the Beatles) live... but we couldn't hear them... there were too many fainting and screaming girls...' - A band which you could SEE but not HEAR properly. And as a confirmation of this, anyone can search their live performances on YT - you'll hardly hear the music because of the audience being so loud and extatic. :-)

[@flatwoodseuromancer8407]

Nice to see Niamh's dad mentioning The Charlatans, The Sons of Champlin, these are bands too readily forgotten - I wonder where he stands on Moby Grape, for me the greatest alongside QMS!

[@UlyssesJonah]

As a new dad I love seeing you two talking about the music you love, your reactions when your dad talks about his past concerts he's seen is priceless! Hoping when my baby's grown up we can do the same! (Her musical education already started with lots of similar 60's and 70's bands xD)

[@UlyssesJonah]

I seem to agree with your dad on almost everything!

[@01real1]

@ Niamh the Prog Nerd: Your Dad mentions attending the Beatles' concert at Hammersmith Odeon. On the web-page Beatles Bible it states: 'The Beatles played four concerts in London over two days during their final UK tour. The first two took place at the Hammersmith Odeon on this day (Friday, 10 December 1965).' They performed 11 songs, including: Yesterday, If I Needed Someone, She's A Woman, Nowhere Man, I Feel Fine.

[@thomasherou2576]

Have you heard Colossem?British 60-70 progrock. John Hiseman drums.My favourite band.

[@hesch-tag]

You are both awesome. Jimi all the way!

[@mikecoffee100]

I agreed with all on the list some to be honest I have not heard like the Live Dead and for Hendrix Axis deffo the MONO version must be heard. oh also I don't fancy the Beach Boys album but I did understand why they did it to compete with Sgt Pepper. Great Vids as usual Cheers.

[@jcowan2341]

Cool Dad! Great choices. Other great ' 60s albums are The Who Sell Out and Donovan Sunshine Superman.

[@MrSmiley1964]

I enjoy these videos with your father. I love music from the 60's, it was a generation when anything could happen musically and his Top 10 reflects that. FWIW my fave Hendrix is Electric Lady Land. When I think of 60's Blues I think of Hendrix and when I think of Psychedelia & Blues I think of Electric Lady Land. Burning of The Midnight Lamp to House Burning Down, What's not love?

[@eduardocalvo9631]

Great albums Peter, all sixties staples. Jazz is my second love and Miles and Coltrane really got me into the classic era of jazz, all the way back to Diz and Bird, Louis Armstrong and the Duke. As to Fleetwood Mac, there is a relatively unknown era sandwiched between the blues based Peter Green and pop oriented Buckingham Nicks eras: The Bob Welch era of the early seventies; Future Games and Bare Trees are highlights.

[@stormwind_7996]

Great video and selections!

[@ottooldenhardt]

Your dad is the Alan Moore of prog commentary!

[@jamesgryczko4909]

hey dad , you rock. You are a true rock and roll historian, is it next saturday yet ? There is no doubt in my mind that Niamh's love for music is in her DNA. Is there any cosmic story as to how you came to name your precious daughter Niamh? Do tell- cheerio!

[@RealHIFIHelp]

Interesting collection.

[@psychedelicamania5568]

I love your T-shirt, Niamh! 💜💜💜💜

[@andrewmann9883]

I love your channel, P.S. your dad is brilliant

[@johncalarco3728]

Great choices. Pet Sounds is also my favorite. I would also consider: Johnny Winter - Second Winter, King Crimson- In the Court of the Crimson King , Miles Davis - In a Silent Way, Sly and the Family Stone- Stand and Pink Floyd - Ummagumma.
