Roger Johansson wrote My top ten favourite music albums and I was gonna reply but I do not have ten (10) albums. I’ve got six. Though, I did have a few songs that I have played until they’ve become white noise.
I found nineteen artists with songs. Six for which all songs on an album I like; twelve artists with songs that have gone white noise; and, one with collected label set plus one song.
-
- The Quicksilver Messenger Service
- “The Quicksilver Messenger Service” [First Album]
- [Note: The finest San Francisco psychedelic music. The album art was originally printed on silver foil.]
-
- The Byrds
- “Younger Than Yesterday”
- [Note: Very trippy Los Angeles psychedelic type music.]
-
- The Chameleons
- “Script from a Bridge”
-
- Thelonious Monk
- “Monk’s Music”
- [Note: If only for “Well, You Needn’t” (with John Coltrane’s and Coleman Hawkin’s solos) but all of the songs are pure Monk. His most immediately accessible.]
