I want to have a thread that we can pool together our favorite classic albums that have a more indie sense to them. I have a bunch of albums that I love but just don't belong in the Indie album thread. For the sake of music lets consider "classic" to mean anything up to the early 90's (no wave movement shits etc.)

But please everyone, lets not post fucking mainstream shit from the 80's like your favorite Quiet Riot album or some bullshit like that.

I want this thread to show us some classic music that is new to each of us, not a bunch of widely known shit.

But fuck, if you love it, then post it.

Also try to include the year the album was released so we can get the gist of the time line the music was made in.

I'll start it off with...



A fuckin pioneer in music, so many artists were influenced by him, listen and love it. Great Shit. 1971

Another great pioneer band, but more so in the acid rock area. If you don't have it already I suggest giving it a listen. 1966

Forget about San Francisco: The American capitol of psychedelic rock was Austin, Texas, and no band soared higher than Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators. In addition to acid-tinged garage rockers such as the crazed-love anthem, "You're Gonna Miss Me," the Elevators' debut included tracks such as "Reverberation (Doubt)," "Roller Coaster," and "Splash 1," which viscerally evoked the sounds of their titles while offering lyrics that provided a philosophical structure for the psychedelic experience. The lyrics were written by Tommy Hall, who also played amplified jug. Hard as it may be to believe now, that jug created a weird sound that predicted that burbling synthesizers of modern-day techno. --Jim Derogatis
