Shame on all of you - there seems to be an inability to think of great albums before 1966, in other words what about the other 6/10th of that decade? Dylan had a few seminal ones I'm told. Looking through my collection I would nominate The Shadows released in 1961, seminal in its own way and influential on many a British guitarist to come later. And I would say the 1963 recording released the following year, Dave Brubeck Quartet At Carnegie Hall, had it fans amongst the late 60's prog/underground musicians.

The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

To be Perfectly Honest I could just fill this with Dylan releases, but that wouldn't be fair to my other favorite artists and albums at the time. So here it is:

2. Velvet Underground & Nico
1. Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
3. John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
5. Miles Davis - In a Silent Way
10. Otis Redding - Dictionary of Soul
6. Donovan - Wear Your Love Like Heaven
7. The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
4. Jimi Hendrix Experience - Axis: Bold as Love
9. Ravi Shankar - Improvisations
8. Neil Young - Everybody Knows This is Nowhere

Those that missed the cut

:
King Crimson - ITCOTCK
Muddy Waters - Folk Singer
Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Tim Buckley - Happy Sad
Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica
John Mayall and the Blues Breakers Featuring Eric Clapton
The Byrds - Younger Than Yesterday, Notorious Byrd Brothers
Procol Harum - 1st, self-titled
Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac
Fairport Convention - Leige & Leif
