Only one more year until Christgay starts Consumer Guide and the world is ruined forever.

I've got some terrible news, guys. The Sonics just broke up.

It's only 21 years until Taylor Swift is born. Enjoy it while it lasts.

THERE MUST BE SOME KIND OF WAY OUT OF HERE

found this in my record store's trash bin

"Aghhh, I'm turning 40, I got divorced for the second time in a row and my bff Bobby Kennedy got blown away! I'm slowly going insane! Help me!"

not music

MY MY MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY DELILAH

IT'S GETTIN' NEAR DAWN

Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison are gonna run music for the next 20 years.

I'm looking for evil-sounding music
heavily distorted guitars, maybe some use of tritones, lyrical themes focusing on topics like the occult, war, death, etc. Any bands/genres like this?

I guess Christgau was right when he asked in bewilderment how a 19 year old could sing that thing believably. Maybe they should have given it to Perry Como instead.

>>127528561
ah yes Barbra's choker collar and then next year's Oscars lol. she was such an edgy shithead back then.

They made the mistake of softening up and turning into the Grass Roots this year so they went back in 69 and heavied it up again.

>>127528834
Fuck you, I like it

just like Hendrix with Axis: Bold As Love

and hey nice Peggy Lee impression

HOLY SHIT

>>127529162
popular culture is way more stagnant in this century but back then things moved so fast that 1948 when she had her breakout hit with Confess may as well have been 300 years ago

>>127529269
This came out at the end of the year so I'd almost count it more for 69.

>>127529269
Like every Stones album it's 2 good songs and a bunch of boring blues jam filler.

>>127526976
Wah wah wah I just got divorced too and don't feel where music's going these days either, Rosie. Suck it up, you big baby.

>>127526976
>Clooney campaigned for her friend Robert Kennedy and was within earshot of the gunfire that felled him in the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 5, 1968. She was increasingly addicted to painkillers and sleeping pills during this time to cope with the stress from her second separation from Jose Ferrer. A month after the RFK assassination Clooney suffered a mental breakdown during a performance in Las Vegas where she started shouting expletives at the audience. She was put in a mental hospital and remained under psychiatric care for the next eight years.[9]

>>127529663

Yay another washed up old bag from earlier days and...oh well at least she didn't do any Beatles covers here.

Teresa only put two singles this year before disappearing for a while (not that anyone noticed or would have minded if they did). She separated from her husband around this time and I guess this oddly Motown-like record was her own sort of divorce statement. Good points: She just sings straight and in a monotone and completely avoids her usual irritating as hell vocal acrobatics.

>>127529670
>>127529663
I don't know how people dump on Led Zeppelin for stealing blues songs because they at least made it their own thing instead of straight up trying to sound like 50s Chicago blues.

hey man when's Dylan ever gonna make a song about Vietnam? he's really been slacking lately.

>>127529941
What's a Led zeppelin

>>127529970
she's cute but her warbly vocals can get quite irritating in a hurry.

>>127529970
I Pity The Poor Immigrant was a Dylan tune, despite the political-sounding title it's actually a pretty abstract song centered around a bunch of Biblical references.

>>127530103
She was still a little underdeveloped and didn't fully come into her own until the 70s.

>>127523638 (OP)
I cant keep up with all the incredible releases coming out and im going to take it for granted

>>127529981
i caught a sneak peek at their record. apparently its just gonna be called "led zeppelin 1". how imaginative. its just loud generic blues and 3 minute guitar solos on every track. mark my words there will something stupid like a drum solo on their next record.

I can't for the life of me tell if this was new material or something recorded in 1959 they left in the can and dug out for the album.

Papa James!

What the FUCK is Bob Dylan doing with this electric guitar bullshit?!

Single biggest record of the fuckin' year.

>>127530548
and if you believed the memes you'd think the only thing anyone was listening to in 68 was acid rock

ok

>>127525313
But its excellent

It's only 30 years until Chappell Roan is born. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Moody River doesn't necessarily fit him imo a bit too chintzy.

All the crooners are selling out to rock """music""". At least we still have Tony. He'd never let himself get talked into singing trendy slop like MacArthur Park or Little Green Apples.

>>127533033
Sinatra has been doing exactly that since launching Reprise six years ago. lol.

>>127533033
I won't do that either. I did a collection of country covers this year but I'm never gonna make a rock covers album. Trust me.

Oh come on, this is getting ridiculous.

>>127532689
I don't think BB in his prime was capable of making a bad record.

>>127533046
Not quite. He stuck to his guns for a few years recording swing and ballad albums the same way he had done at Capitol. Reprise was supposed to be his independent creative outlet after all. It wasn't until he sold the company to Warner Bros in 1963 that the bean counters took over, purged the roster of most of its old school acts and tried to make it compete in the top 40 market. Sinatra was allowed to stay but he had to accept a more middle-road Andy Williams approach. He was still allowed a token concept album every so often, like September of My Years and Moonlight Sinatra, and pet projects like the Jobim and Ellington collaborations.

>>127533110
>He stuck to his guns for a few years recording swing and ballad albums the same way he had done at Capitol. Reprise was supposed to be his independent creative outlet after all. It wasn't until he sold the company to Warner Bros in 1963
realistically all of two years since Reprise was started in 61 and sold to Warner by 63

Can't spell crock without rock

>>127533116
He recorded nine albums in that time

Can't believe Cream broke up

Why can't we just talk about music that came out in 1968 instead of LARPing as if it was actually 1968?

>>127526976
The last new material she made before her schizo breakdown was "Let Me Down Easy", a Motown-flavored single on Dot but she had not actually released an LP since 64. AFAIK she fell victim to Reprise's purge of non-rock acts after the Warner buyout.

>>127533149
It's supposed to be both

This year was also when the ancient as shit Mills Brothers had a bizarre comeback.

>>127533141

Ok actually the B-side was the Motown one but unsurprisingly they're both about her divorce and you can tell the woman was starting to come apart at the seams by this point.

>>127533188
There was a minor trad jazz revival from about 1966-68. Winchester Cathedral probably kicked it off and it reached a peak with Thoroughly Modern Millie. Mills Brothers rode that wave. Even some doo-wop groups like the Casinos and the Dells had fluke comeback hits in the late 60s.

>>127533214
Chappell Roan's butthurt over her ex is amateur hour compared to this.

>>127528561
I remember Christagu bitching that Barbra was the only major young artist at that time that was still on what he called that obsolete pre-rock music.

>>127533223
>Steve Miller Band had signed to Capitol in 1967 for an unprecedented advance but their debut album Children of the Future failed to sell in large numbers. Sailor, released late in 1968, made #24 on the Billboard albums chart.

>>127533288
At that point record labels were signing any rock group that walked in the door and a lot of them failed to deliver on their promises.

i tell you rock never had those super-raw late 60s guitar tones again

dude acid

>>127528834
by this point it's just Mark Lindsay+the Wrecking Crew playing on the albums anyway

>>127534220
Some say the "real" PRATR stopped existing when the original lineup disbanded after 1966 and by this point it's a rotating cast of people who also only play live and not on the records.

>>127534483
>Some say
*You say

>>127533033
at least the ones who are still recording anyway. Doris Day, Kitty Kallen, and Georgia Gibbs are all retired by now and Dinah Shore is a TV host.

>>127534220
correct Paul Revere didn't even play on the records anymore by 68

>>127534161
i should really go to california to catch some of their shows

I hope Tim buckley releases something this year because this album was great. I can't wait to here more of his folk songs in the future

>>127533033
I suppose they were not any more guilty of that than 10-12 years earlier when they were all doing whitewashed R&B covers.

Been grooving with this guy called Charlie, he makes totally far out music, very apocalyptic stuff, but very catchy...
He scares me a bit.

Whenever someone makes it. We did finally get around to 1958 the other day.

Woah

Ding dongs are wot now

>>127529570
>>127526976
both of them due to being temporarily out of commission missed out on covering Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head, Little Green Apples, and Something

>>127534161
This sucks. I imagine they're not much better live.
