Proto's Own Kind Of Nuggets
So I'm kinda obsessed with 60s music, specially Psychedelic Rock/Pop, and its sunshiny, harmony rich, jangling and sometimes baroque kinds. It's the kind of stuff I most listen day-to-day being a very important companion to my life and the one that I have spent more time digging through compilations downloaded on Soulseek, niche blogs and weird YouTube channels, and I don't stop being fascinated by how much interesting stuff I still find often. With this list, I just wanna share some of my favorite albums and tunes from the decade, and also bring light to some more obscure, underappreciated and not so well known things. I'll try to avoid the most that I can on listing some big names and albums that are already well recognized in the community (Love's Forever Changes, Pink Floyd's Piper, The Zombies, Beatles, Beach Boys, Byrds) |
