Acclaimed Music Top 25 Albums from 1965 poll

the first year from the second half of the sixties and i feel like these albums are getting better and better.

or this list is amazing, there is so much great music that came out in 1965.

highway 61 over a love supreme, spiritual unity, here are the sonics!!!

'here are the sonics!!!' has the best title.

The Temptations Sing Smokey
Highway 61 Revisited
Out of Our Heads
The Who Sings My Generation
Point of Departure

Some of my favorite records by these artists/of all time are here: Ayler, Hill, Otis, Dylan...but that Who record, you either jump on or get run over.

Voted for Junior Wells

jesus this was a good year for john lennon. "ticket to ride," "you're going to lose that girl," "you've got to hide your love away," "yes it is," "day tripper," "norwegian wood," "in my life"...

voting help on the basis of the first part of that list, even though both beatles 1965 albums were inconsistent, with regrets to my two favorite dylan albums, both of which are more consistent, and which together contain my two favorite dylan songs, but neither of which contains "you're going to lose that girl."

please don't hit me or kick me off ILM.

lol

"you're going to lose that girl" is sometimes my favorite song ever. a killer year for Lennon yes but his greatest album, A Hard Day's Night, was an option in the previous poll. 1965 was the year for Dylan, Smokey and Jagger to shine

i thought the records from this year are great but the movies were not. so i just used the words instead.

So many exclamation points

This is probably the best year for songs ever. The Acclaimed Music 1965 song list is just insane.

Yeah, seriously. And when you pick a random Billboard singles chart from '65, it's just completely mindblowing how many utterly earthshaking records were out (and new, and on the radio) at the same time.

i will do songs from this year in about four months.

I need to hear a few of the albums, but Rubber Soul seems like the clear winner.

'a love supreme' is the clear winner for me but i'm going to throw a vote to 'point of departure.' jazz d-bags unite!

hearing what monk does on the piano, then what andrew hill does on the piano = the special things

i really want to vote for Here Are the Sonics!!! but having a hard time hitting that vote button.

1. Highway 61 Revisited
2. Help!
3. A Love Supreme
4. Rubber Soul
5. Mr. Tambourine Man
6. My Generation

I don't really have any strong attachments to Rolling Stones LPs until the '68-72 period.

I'm not even a huge Dylan fan and voted Highway 61 Revisited, over arguably the best Byrds record, My Generation, Coltrane, Beatles. and if it was a singles bracket, it would be pretty hard to vote against Gloria.

otm with the Stones, with Aftermath being a minor exception.

taking next week off for the holiday.

Have to go with Point of Departure, it's total comfort music for me, joe henderson and eric dolphy just emitting pure cool delightful truth

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

ended up voting for Rubber Soul.

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

Go to hell, 9 of you.

Missed this completely, would've given another vote to A Love Supreme. Surprised at 0 votes for Bringing It All Back Home, think I like it even more than Highway 61 these days.

I love that the Who tied with Trane.

ALS isn't my favorite Coltrane, though. It's definitely a great Quartet record, but the live version absolutely demolishes it. And subsequent Quartet records (particularly the next one, The John Coltrane Quartet Plays...) strike me as much more fearless explorations of that group's possibilities.
