|
 | Forever Changes: Expanded by Love
Buy new: £4.26 / Used from: £2.91 A 60's album with writing ahead of it's time, Aruthr Lee was clearly pissed at the world but you wouldn't believe it at first! Listen to this album and get lost in a world of optimism turning sour

|
 | Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Buy new: £4.23 / Used from: £3.84 An album of many great melodies! Amazing songs, would you believe they couldn't stand each other, but when they were together at their peak they do in my opinion rival and better Lennon and McCartney

|
 | Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix Experience
Buy new: £8.26 / Used from: £5.25 Sonically experimental and out of this world genius, this to me is Hendrix's pinnacle work and deservedly so, All Along the watchtower puts Dylans version to complete shame!

Buy new: £4.86 / Used from: £3.84 Prince wrote this masterpiece of an album, the last great thing Prince ever did before he became more up his arse!
|
 | Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd
Buy new: £7.36 / Used from: £5.50 Never really took off in the 60's but moved the Beatles ideas sonically forward and maxed it further, a great sonic art work and still considered a masterpiece very ahead of it's time
|
 | Tea For The Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.59 One the best songwriters for the last 30 years and his albums still stand up as testimonial to his genius!
