Favourite Albums from Your Birth Year?

[Big Ears]

^ Post-Hemispheres Rush is a good comparison.

 

[Johnny-Too-Good]

I googled 1954 and, quite honestly, it looked a bit of a shit year for albums. While I appreciate people like Glenn Miller, Sarah Vaughan and Louis Armstrong were very talented - just not my cup of tea. This would have been before the commercial breakthrough for Rock 'n Roll, Soul, or Blues. So I guess I'll pass

This was in the UK chart in the year I was born, although this footage is from 1959.

1960

Not much to pick from unless you are a jazz fan, which I'm not




Joan Baez - Joan Baez
Ray Charles - The Genius Hits the Road



Elvis & Johnny Cash both cranked out 3 albums each that year. I don't know if they were any count because I haven't listened to them.
