The Bus

We've covered some of the recent complete decades, let's now go to the 60s:

Formatting for the lazy:


1960 : John Coltrane — My Favorite Things
1961 : Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers — A Night in Tunisia
1962 :
1963 : James Brown — Live at the Apollo
1964 : Stan Getz & João Gilberto — Getz/Gilberto
1965 : John Coltrane — A Love Supreme
1966 : The Beatles — Revolver
1967 : The Doors — The Doors
1968 : Os Mutantes — Os Mutantes
1969 : Alexander "Skip" Spence — Oar

I don't think I've heard a single album from 1962.

Prior to 65, there are no albums that I will listen to all the way through.

Don't have much of a list for the early part of the decade. I could look up albums and pick something, based on songs I know from compilations. But that wouldn't really be right, if I hadn't actually heard the album I was listing. And the non-compilation albums that I do have (and like) are awfully Beatles-heavy. Oh well ...
