"After a year of meteoric success, he quit the band due to an ironic fear of flying, and contention within the band over the fact that Gene was the only one making rock star money with those songwriting royalties. He blessed the band once more before leaving by casually tossing off the lyrics and idea (Coltrane jazz-rock) for Eight Miles High, one of the very first psychedelic songs, and The Byrds most legendary achievement.
Byrds stans know the RCA studios version that got vaulted is superior to the stiffer single/album version;"

the geezers seem to disagree with you

The one time Crosby was right

the geezers

honestly haven't listened to much of the yardbirds at all...just never got around to it good starting point?

he's gonna tell you Five Live Yardbirds but honestly I'd just listen to their string of singles starting with For Your Love up until Happenings Ten Years Time Ago. and after that just listen to everything from the beginning until Beck left

i dont stan the Roger the Engineer album like he does tho theyre definitely a band i think of in terms of their godly singles vs. albums. Having a Rave Up With The Yardbirds isnt even a real album either since its just half live tracks released earlier

so many beatles songs I catch myself saying overrated instead of overplayed. Eleanor Rigby is a masterpiece, definitely a psychedelic/otherworldy feel to it that makes it stick it out in their discog

still never seen the receipts for this claim

You f***in b****

Oh you claimed it

I know because I had a specifically logged in my head that you wrote off everything pre velvets

ok. receipts?

That is a whole ass endeavor I'm not doing right now

@Elric @RVI

yall gotta get the full scope of 60s/early 70s psych and jump into some Samba/MPB records.

Yeah man absolutely f*** @Aruji

Will try to expand to 20+ for every year after this. There's a few albums with songs I didn't include due to not listening for a while and didn't want to force a larger list. Also, yea, never been a B-Side or non-album singles guy, so I'm completely out of the blue for that kind of stuff

what zee german say

says the sting arrangement fails to accomplish its goal or something the cello is off a quarter metre or something

So how long do y’all take discussing each year? A week or like monthly?
