A great album....she's the Mother of punk.
"G-L-O-R-I-A....GLORIA" Such a great version!!
Eric Andersen wrote a song for Patti and they hung out at the Chelsea Hotel, played the streets of Beat Avenue, played music together, lived together a while.....lived the life of poet and poetess.
"BIRDLAND" from Horses....brilliant

Time to get on your Horses & ride, Capt'!

Smile is better than Pet Sounds. So is Blonde on Blonde and HW61, and many others.
Astral Weeks and Revolver and great but nowhere deserving of this type of status. Both the Beatles and Van made better records.
All albums with Brian Jones are better than Exile on Main Street, which i always found awful.
1 Blonde on Blonde
2-Smile Brian Wilson version
3 Forever Changes
4 Abbey Road
5 Trout Mask Replica
August 1995 Edition
1. The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
2. Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
3. The Beatles - Revolver
4. The Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street
5. Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited

REVOLVER was a revelation in 1966....nothing like it ever before. Still tops. I would put Rubber Soul, Peppers, White Album up their.
Astral Weeks is an art rock masterpiece.
EXILE ON MAIN STREET is definitely a TOP all time album. I would put their early LPs up there too, waxburn, but they can't be credited to Brian as he was largely absent without leave (drugs and clubbing, social setting) by 1965. And Let It Bleed was pretty much Jones-less.
Sticky Fingers is a masterpiece.
Pet Sounds for me, is always reserved a top spot. Brian was at his peak....without the rest of the Boys. And Holland is the Beach Boys best WITHOUT Brian (forget that strange EP glued to the back of the album)...though his two included tracks after the fact are still highlights.
BTW...I can't wait for the SMiLE Sessions to be released by Capitol finally!!...I wonder if they will use that SMiLE cover slick art that circulated in '66.
And it is a toss up for Dylan...Blonde On Blonde, Highway 61, and I have great affection for his great-- Bringing It All Back Home.
Trout Mask is a recognized masterpiece, but it is a challenge to my senses at times for me.
But putting all of these here where they DO belong becomes a matter of personal preference when actually assigning numbers. Don't you agree? Because on any other day I could just as easily agree with your take, waxburn!

without Blonde on Blonde and HWY61 most of the albums on that list wouldnt even exist. Both Revolver and Exile are Dylan parodies IMHO. Exile, outside of Tumbling DIce, i find unlisteable, Sounds like it should have been Lynyrd Synyrds first album.
Astral Weeks has no connection to rock and roll its obtuse and has no spirit. Forever Changes is better than anything the Beatles put out. I always saw the Beatles as a singles band, that Eleanor Rigby stuff was a bad dylan imitation.
Pet Sounds i live but it cant touch smile. |

SMiLE is certainly Brian's masterpiece.
I won't get into a Beatles debate...we'll never see eye to eye, but that's cool.
Dylan was prompted into going ELECTRIC partly because of the Beatles...his words. He liked the Beatles anyway.
Cheers

Dylan may have gone electric because of the Beatles and the Stone and the Animals etc but the Beatles would have still be doing She Loves You yea yea if not for Dylan. Back then everyone wanted to be Dylan, to have something to say, im no Beatles fan like em but they never overwhelmed me.  Let me revise:
Blonde on Blonde
HWY 61
Forever Changes
Smile
i do think that the Beatles were better than post Brian Jones Stones and Hey Jude is probably my fav song of all. But when i listen to that When Im 64 stuff i cringe,

Right...that's why I love 60's rock so much....the cross pollination.
They all were better from knowing each other and wanting be as good as the next one. Brian Wilson doing Pet Sounds because of his inspiration from Rubber Soul. Beatles doing Sgt Peppers after hearing Pet Sounds.....the back and forth between Lennon and Dylan.
Hendrix getting turned on by Arthur...
Just great to have all their music.....
