These were the 25 most historically important "progressive rock & related" albums of 1969 titles I could come up with - or think of... that I like. There's tons more stuff (many debuts) I love from this year, such as: The Advancement, Xhol Caravan, Audience, Renaissance, Music Emporium, Yes, VdGG + etc... but to me the ones I selected felt like they contributed to expand popular music and rock in general. To some extent. But I mainly just want to know what you like out of what you've heard, and that you'll check out the stuff you don't know (but if I'm being totally honest, I'm mainly procrastinating). -There was no extra space left for "other", so you will have to write what other album you would vote for in the comment section:). I'm certain I forgot of left out something essential. Edited by Saperlipopette! - October 06 2021 at 22:55 |

It's always an uphill push when King Crimson's debut is on the list, but for this group, although I know less than half of them, I'll go with Santana's scene crasher.

Led Zeppelin II.....the guitar intro, then John Paul Jones thick bass line right underneath Page, then Bonham comes in with the powerful drum intro.
Whole Lotta Love, 5:34 minutes of greatness. Still to this day gives my speakers a workout.

Who can beat the great Soft Machine, Can, Amon Duul II, King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Beatles, Mothers of Invention, Miles, and Captain Beefheart? East of Eden can... seriously! Such a charming album!

I like Soft Machine, Ayers, Zeppelin, Tull, Zappa, and The Beatles. Vote for Tull. In a Silent Way is awful for me. Dave Holland playing basically one note on bass through both songs, ick. Yeah, one of the first jazz recordings featuring electronic piano. Historically important? Meh. |

Had to go with Abbey Road. Some great selections on that list, but it was an easy choice for me.

I'm very familiar with all of these albums other than the Manfred Mann and The Moody Blues. I'm a bigger fan of the first half of the list than the second half. Really tough choice, especially between the first twelve. I will vote for the one I most want to put on right at this moment, which is Terry Riley's A Rainbow in Curved Air.

Uncle Meat is one of the most breathtaking things ever recorded and no other album on the list rivals it in my eyes. Nonetheless, Volume 2, A Rainbow In Curved Air and of course ol' Crimmy King's Court are still great milestones in their own right. Pink Floyd's Ummagumma and Tony Williams's Emergency wouldn't be out of place on this list either.

Stand Up is my favorite of these.

Hard to choose; there are some excellent albums here. I will go with "Sea Shanties"; it is definitely the heaviest album of this time and in my opinion one of the heaviest albums ever.

One of the more difficult polls I've seen in a while. I can narrow it down to 8 but it's so hard because there's not one standing out above the others. I be back!

I bet Court will garner the most votes.
Me, I'll vote for Santana's debut. There was nothing else like it at the time.

Stand Up all the way. My first prog album I ever owned, so it has a special place in my heart.

-On the Threshold of a Dream is the closest Moody Blues ever came to making kosmische:D - Still mostly cozy, warm and very melodic, but with some genuine soundexcursions into space. I love it - including the spoken word parts that others might find cringeworthy. |

There are three kinds of albums on this list for me:
those I don't know (about half or a little more) those I know and like/love a lot (almost all the rest) Abbey Road That is to say, Abbey Road means more to me than almost all of the rest of these records combined, sans LZII and maybe ITCOTCK, which I have a lot to thank for. This is a no brainer poll for me with its inclusion, as there's simply nothing else here that even comes close.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

*on Miles in the Sky (1968) and Filles de Kilimanjaro. (february, 1969). But I think the first jazzrecord released featuring el-piano is Sun Ra and his Arkestra - Super-Sonic Jazz, from 1956 or 1957).

From this list I'd choose either Basket of Light or Abbey Road - voted for the former. My overall favourite from 1969 is Ummagumma.
