Since Yes and Stand Up are not part of this list, I'll take Soft Machine.

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

I remember March 29th, 1969 seeing Chicago Transit Authority, unknowns pretty much, play on the lower 4th of a bill in San Bernardino, with Janis Joplin's Kozmic Blues Band, MC5, and Lee Michaels above them. They blew everyone away with that first album set.

Arguably one of the best debut rock albums of all time.

Haha I was about to write something similar but then thought about Ummagumma...and well I think of it as one of the Floyd's defining artistic moments. Let me put it this way: where would half your Krautrock collection be without it? |
where it is now. I don't think "Ummagumma" was very influential on Krautrock; the similarities (like a part of Ash Ra Tempel's "Schwingungen" sounding like "A Saucerful of Secrets") are rather coincidental. many German bands had been playing music like "Ummagumma" before; they just had not published any album yet, mostly because of some kind of inferiority complex. then Amon Düül's "Psychedelic Underground" came out, and suddenly no band needed to have this complex; they could certainly do better than that album

I would prefer Tull's Stand Up to any of these, but for some unconscionable reason it was omitted. So A Salty Dog.

CTA...great album.....saw them in the fall of '69 at IU Bloomington for $3.50.... btw....Terry Kath was with the band for 11 albums , two live ones in there , and didn't die until 1978....and Danny Seraphine was their drummer all the way from '69 until album number 17 in '84...for over 16 years.

zero votes for Phallus Dei, strange,
i voted CTA; good album of eclectic jazz rock, funk, psychadelic, music
Procol is also king, and that album is my favourite nautical themed album.
Ummagumma is a blessing of creativity

Same. They were invaluable in Madison and Chicago, and in many ways, a real spokesperson for a lot of things we thought at the time!
At the time, I had only heard a few of these, and while I knew the name of Frank Zappa, I had not given it a listen yet, and it wasn't until around 1972 I think that I heard "King Kong" and went and got the album.
BTW, that song was the version that was done by "Babe Ruth", that I even went to the "Whiskey a Go Go" to see, because that first album was fabulous. So, you know my introduction to Frank Zappa was unusual to say the least.
Procol Harum was fine, but their follow up albums never stood up for me, compared to the first.
Renaissance, was something I did not get into until later, although I had spent time looking for the ORIGINAL Renaissance, with Keith Relf of the Yardbirds, however, the stuff was not widely promoted or released in America, and I was not able to get these for about 7 to 8 years. It was not better than the next group, but it was very nice, and had a lot of promise, as far as I could tell.
I think we might have suggested to look at these in a time/life span, since it is really different.
It's also weird to not see Jethro Tull listed, or Fairport Convention, and I had already heard these in 1969 before I even bought any of them. In fact, the first Jethro Tull album I got was a bootleg, that had an immense version of "My God", that I still have not heard in any album release!
