155. Led Zeppelin – Led Zeppelin I (1969) Genre - Hard rock, heavy metal, blues-rock, folk rock From the disbanding of the Yardbirds, rises Led Zepplin! A pioneer of the heavy metal sound (a distinctive heavy, guitar-driven sound), Led Zepplin (Jimmy Page et al) fused blues and rock ( as well as Indian, arabic, classical, celtic, country and pop) beautifully as well. Essential!! Tags: 1001 albums

154. Quicksilver Messenger Service – Happy Trails (1969) Genre - Rock, acid rock, psychedelic rock, jam Some good rock here - usual drug warnings apply! ;) Jam bands are musical groups whose albums and live performances relate to a fan culture that originated with the 1960s group Grateful Dead and continued in the 1990s with Phish and similar bands. The performances of these bands often feature extended musical improvisation ("jams") over rhythmic grooves and chord patterns and long sets of music that cross genre boundaries.
While the seminal group Grateful Dead were originally categorized as psychedelic rock, by the 1990s the term "jam band" was used for groups playing a variety of genres, including those outside of rock such as funk, progressive bluegrass, and jazz fusion. The term is also used for some groups playing blues, country music, folk music, world music, and electronica.Tags: 1001 albums

I remember the original 80s one was not so bad, it freaked me out when I was a kid. Especially when the Visitors revealed themselves, or that scene where that girl gave birth. Horror! But watching the old series on youtube I can't help but laugh. Anyways, there's a 'remake' or re-imagined series that started Nov3 and I am deeply hooked. Looks like science fiction of old is still the best? But so much has been promised, asked and spelt out in the pilot that I wonder if the rest of the series can keep up. We'll see. The visitors came at the right time, when we as a species needed help the most. They bring peace, cure our diseases, technology and all for 'nothing'. And they are all beautiful too lol. The bible equivalent would be the 'anti-christ'. I found it a little unsettling that I tended to agree with the Priest ... Should we trust them? Should we feel bad for thinking that they are 'lying'? Of course the audience knows the visitors are up to no good, but what if it happened today... really, what would you do? How would you react? Suddenly your loved one is cured of AIDS, cancer, now can walk...how? Would you still be skeptical? Or would you embrace them? Tags: v, youtube

138. Creedence Clearwater Revival – Bayou Country (1969)  Genre - Southern rock (traditionalist), swamp rock Southern rock is a subgenre of rock music, and genre of country music. It developed in the Southern United States from rock and roll, country music, and blues, and is focused generally on electric guitar and vocals.
Swamp pop is a musical genre indigenous to the Acadiana region of south Louisiana and an adjoining section of southeast Texas. Created in the 1950s and early 1960s by teenaged Cajuns and black Creoles, it combines New Orleans-style rhythm and blues, country and western, and traditional French Louisiana musical influences. Although a fairly obscure genre, swamp pop maintains a large audience in its south Louisiana and southeast Texas homeland, and it has acquired a small but passionate cult following in the United Kingdom, northern Europe, and Japan.
The swamp pop sound is typified by highly emotional, lovelorn lyrics, tripleting honky-tonk pianos, undulating bass lines, bellowing horn sections and a strong rhythm and blues backbeat.

130. Scott Walker – Scott 2 (1968)  Genre - Vocal pop OH! So this is the singer Patsy was singing about in Abfab!!!!! [Warning] Don't be fooled by his sultry baritone voice, the lush and smaltzy orchestral arrangments and overall sombre, romantic sounding music ala Frank Sinatra/Tony Bennett. He's really singing about sex, drugs, promiscuity, transvestites, suicidal tendencies, the political left, prostitution, homosexuality etc etc. Delicious! I loves it. LOL It's really very hard to put on a straight face when he's singing dreamy misty eyed songs about love etc and uses the words like ' piss' and ' gonorrhea' as well as other hilarious sexual innuendoes. Excellent, excellent. But that being said, he still has a terrific, sexy voice, and it doen't hurt that he's quite good looking too! Patsy sings about her sister 'Jackie' (about 0:50s). It's also the song for the credits for this episode! Scott Walker singing 'Jackie' (Poor quality) Tags: 1001 albums

129. Caetano Veloso - Caetano Veloso (1968)
 Genre - Tropicália (Brasilia) Tropicália, also known as Tropicalismo, is a Brazilian art movement that arose in the late 1960s and encompassed theatre, poetry, and music, among other forms. Tropicália was influenced by poesia concreta (concrete poetry), a genre of Brazilian avant-garde poetry embodied in the works of Augusto de Campos, Haroldo de Campos, and Décio Pignatari, among a few others. However, Tropicália is associated almost exclusively with the musical expression movement, both in Brazil and internationally, which arose from the fusion of several musical genres, like Brazilian and African rhythms and rock and roll. wiki Tags: 1001 albums
