>>124039354The Beatles ruined popular music forever. I hate The Beatles.
>>124039887So, post some albums before they ruined it, that's the point of the thread.

>>124039953Great choice.
>>124039953Imagine going from this to Diddy
>>124039519It's a good album too. Bill Evans and Jim Hall.

>>124040564BASED
>>124039414Based choice. But I can't help but feel like being a jazz enjoyer is cheating in this case.
>>124039354Bob Dylan’s first album is pretty damn good. I prefer his albums solely consisting of originals but there’s a lot of energy and charisma in those covers. It’s best heard in the original mono though.To answer your question, pic related.
>>124039414I love Bill Evans, shame about the cocaine
>>124039374Baséd
>>124039354Goin' down to Louisiana with this one.
>>124040596You. You Have Taste.

My favourite rock 'n' roll album of the 50'shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbw_jI4S924
>>124044763very nice

Rest in peace, sweet princess. Well, not really.
Why do you people all listen to the exact same shit?!Try something else!I don't ever want another rec.
>>124039549Enough with the fucking YT addiction, stop and find something else!
>>124039610>>124046825Other than Elvis' Golden Records, for me it's this EP.
>>124042274I'm in the minority, but I actually only enjoy his first album regularly. I don't care for his overly political and surrealist lyrics, or that he went electric, although I do enjoy John Wesley Harding.
>>124048484>I don't ever want another rec.Is picrel what you got rec'd or something? Looks like shit.
>>124042771https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4eEqN4HY7Q
Never heard the album but the cover is 10/10
>>124039354the beatles invented music what are you talking about
>>124048839Oh wow, a YouTube link never seen that here before!!!
>>124048816I only listen to things I've found on my own. I don't care about opinions, beliefs or shit I've seen spammed a million times over throughout my life, like we don't already know about all this mainstream pop shit. Even non-music is better than unadventurous tourism.
>>124049178>>124049240Yeah, but what you linked isn't good.
>>124039354Prior to the Beatles, the LP format was reserved for jazz and classical only. Pop, rock n roll, RnB were geared entirely toward single releases. “Albums” were rare, and were just a bunch of cover songs supported by a couple singles (also frequently covers) that were curated by labels with little input from the artist.There was tons of great jazz and classical recorded before 1963 tho.
>>124049459There are plenty of great compilation LPs from before The Beatles, as well.
>>124049459Sometimes these covers were good but many were just phoned in.
Pop acts still also sometimes had standards collections or concept albums like this example which has an ace version of "Ballin' The Jack." I've heard some shitty versions of that one too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PW8HxODEY4YFor example Fats Domino's version of that tune...ugh, don't. Then again if he'd recorded it in 1955 instead of '64 it might be decent.
>>124039354pretty terrible choiceif this album wasn't from Dylan nobody would know about it
>>124049541Denny Doherty was a better sounding vocalist than Buddy Holly.
not album, i just liked the song
>>124049340It most certainly is.Hope you found them on YT, the lone place you retarded addicts promote 24/7!
>>124050955Do you pirate off YT?If not then what's the point?
>>124050649Who cares?! You're worthless opinion could've been a genuine recommendation.
idk if this ad was coincidental or some weird commentary on the age of people who would be old enough to remember this song coming out. only so-so record anyway, it was 1950 and AS were nearing the end of the road. they were just sounding outdated and played out by this point.
>>124039354Whole lotta mingus and miles and morgan. Everything else was shit until the beach boys came along
>>124050966Lower your cortisol.
>>124049459not many people outside Sinatra/Elvis/Como got to decide what they recorded and how it should sound
>>124049459>Spector also greatly preferred singles to albums, describing LPs as "two hits and ten pieces of junk".
