Acclaimed Music Top 25 Albums from 1964 poll

very impressive list, i have gone from knowing no releases to knowing about 10 of these.

Getz/Gilberto comfortably out front for me

Dolphy, partly because the 50th anniversary of his death is coming up, partly because Out To Lunch! was recorded the same day Ali beat Liston in Miami, but mostly because it's the best thing here.

torn between A Hard Day's Night, Out to Lunch! and Rock 'n' Soul

damn, George got the short end of the stick.

that's Pattie Boyd that is!

Out To Lunch.

yep

yep yep

yep yep yep

oh man oh man, so much good stuff. might go 'st louis to liverpool' just cause it's so underrated, i've almost never heard anyone talk about chuck berry's actual albums but that one is fantastic.

Good stuff as usual but once I saw Coltrane "Live at Birdland" I just knew.

yeah it's hard to pass up 'birdland' or even like 'juju' but i gotta go with out to lunch

or 'empyrean isles,' fuck. not to mention mingus mingus mingus mingus mingus. this is like ground zero jazz year for me.

think i would vote for literally all of these over 'a hard day's night'

A Hard Day's Night is quite excellent, and obviously seminal. But still, almost every jazz-record on here is miles better.

A Hard Day's Night and Out To Lunch are in my all time top 10. went with Rock 'n' Soul cause it will get squashed and it's a kickass record

That live Jerry Lee Lewis album is epic, he plays everything so manicly.

A lot of these are not real albums (Ronettes, "Having a Rave Up," etc.). The first three on the list are all awesome.

1. Beatles for Sale
2. Presenting the Fabulous Ronettes featuring Veronica
3. From St. Louis to Liverpool
4. All Summer Long

Based on my three or four favourite songs from each.

Out to Lunch, because it has the best sleeve

i'm seriously thinking about voting for The Supremes, just look at the first half:

1. "Where Did Our Love Go"
2. "Run, Run, Run"
3. "Baby Love"
4. "When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes"
5. "Come See About Me"
6. "Long Gone Lover" (Smokey Robinson)

ahdn is great too, all killer no filler.

They filmed performances of four of the singles from the album including "Run, Run, Run", "When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes", "Where Did Our Love Go" and "Baby Love" for the hit teen concert film, The T.A.M.I. Show" released on December 29, 1964.

what, had to look this up:

well i found these but not sure if these are from that 1964 show.

they are not really that good after-all, shucks.

talking about the lip-synching that wasn't good and not the songs. in case that was not clear.

can't wait to see the results of this one, as ILM always seems to teach me something.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

i was actually able to watch A Hard Day's Night while this poll was open as it was on TV.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

haha excellent

Right on.

The Rolling Stones are not starting off too well.
