Not really a surprise that the free album gets it done. I still think 2007 is the greatest year of music in this millennium, and there was a ton to celebrate and some great recommendations.
Today we are throwing back to 1965, which I think is the furthest back that I will go in terms of years. It's a challenge to cobble together a list of 30 recognizable and celebrated albums when you get this far back, as popular music was still in its relative infancy. Being that I'm not big on bop, and only sort-of into jazz, it took some time to curate this list.
Note that, in the interest of keeping the front page of the Entertainment board free of my constant posting and clutter, I'll be doing two of these per week moving forward. I'll be posting them on Sundays and Wednesdays.
The next year we will cover will be 1975.
