For me, it's a tie between Ummagumma, The Soft Machine's Volume 2, and It's a Beautiful Day. There are a few I don't know, but others in this list, like Monster Movie, Songs of Experience, An Electric Storm etc, are quite good.

While Soft Machine Vol. 2 clearly has to get my vote, I really regret not being able to vote for the Kevin Ayers.  The Tim Buckley, East of Eden, Family, It's a Beautiful Day, Os Mutantes & Catherine Ribeiro are also all worthy choices that I might have voted for absent the Soft Machine or Kevin Ayers.  Actually, my vote for the best album of 1969 would go to Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service, but that's not an option here.  Nor is Aoxomoxoa by The Grateful Dead, which would have been my runner up, but only in the original 1969 mix and not the catastrophic 1971 remix that Garcia and Lesh did.  I'm hoping that the 50th Anniversary CD of Aoxomoxoa includes the original mix, the way the 50th Anniv. of Anthem of the Sun did.  Somehow, I've never heard the Tea and Symphony, and I suspect that would be really keen.  Another Harvest release, right?

I like your  choices on Quicksilver and The Dead's Aoxomoxoa....2 of my all time favorite west coast albums....not sure they are 'better' than the ones on Logan's list but they are certainly worthy of inclusion.
Thumbs Up

I like Maryes list too, though I didn't consider the Jethro Tull or Hot Rats psych enough for my list. And much as I love King Crimson, to me that album gets more than enough attention. I don't actually own that particular Moody Blues album (something I probably should rectify).

While I couldn't really choose a favourite off this list as I love most of them, and like all of them, I gave Catherine Ribeiro + 2Bis a vote (it's sure to be an underdog here and I love that album).

One that I thought of but decided to leave off is The Aerosol Grey Machine (I did another poll with that option not that long ago anyway). EDIT: As for Quicksilver, I did consider it as I love 60s psych, but opted to only choose ones in PA, (Quicksilver was included in a psych poll I did some time ago).

I think Tull, Zappa , and others get plenty of attention on other posts...your list included some obscure ones that people should ck out.
I actually have several of those on original vinyl and about 8 more on cd....some I don't own and several I have never heard of like ....C Ribeiro, Axlerod , and Writing on the wall...

I'd agree, and rank "The Least..." higher than "Aerosol..." but I believe "The Least..." was released in '70 Wink

Well, now I'm regretting my decision to leave The Aerosol Grey Machine off the list. Originally I was going to try to keep this to ten choices, but since I went longer (felt unable to limit myself to just ten), there was no good reason not to use all of the available options. After 13 years of making polls, I still am rarely satisfied with how they turn out -- sometimes because of what I forget, sometimes because of what I decide to leave out, and sometimes because of what I choose to include.

EDIT: The Lest We Can Do is Wave to Each Other is my favourite VdGG album and was released in February 1970 on Charisma Records. Despite it being released in the wrong year, stylistically I don't think it would fit as well with other choices as The Aerosol Grey Machine.

how about Amon Düül - Psychedelic Underground? not the best of albums, but historically extremely significant because it was the first Krautrock album

Heard it, but don't own the album. It would fit well in this list.

1969 was an explosive year ov fun stuff to discover for those who were there (or for me years later). Can't choose one gem over a dozen other I'm equally fond of:

I like these quite a lot as well:
Music Emporium - Music Emporium
Mutantes - Mutantes
Plus - The Seven Deadly Sins
C.A. Quintet - Trip Thru Hell
Pugh Rogefeldt - Ja, dä ä dä
Saint Steven - Over the Hills
Morgen - Morgen
Moody Blues - On the Threshold of a Dream

Now the uneven Changing Horses might not be an ISB album highlight, but the freak-end epic Creation is as incredible as they promise to be and up there with the best hippiestuff ever created:
