another poll where i'm a minority voice ... simon'n'garfunkel baby

although i don't like a bunch of those or haven't heard 'em, seems like a landmark year for music

blonde on blonde

sad-eyed lady of the lowlands (prehaps the greatest 10+ min song in hx)
all in all a perfect album.

Shit, you guys put this one to bed pretty quick. Completely missed it.

Blonde On Blonde wins for me. Still not quite sure that record even exists.

I voted for Freak Out! - The beginning of the wonderfulness that is Zappa.

holy fuck this is a hard one.

revolver?

I'd have to go with Yardbirds - Roger The Engineer

blonde on blonde hands down.

pet sounds

blonde on blonde is like my 5th favorite dylan album. shocking

No love for Got Live If You Want It!?

I don't get all the love for The Monks. Yeah, I know the story behind 'em and it's total punk rock attitude, but musically, in my cozy world of hindsight, I don't get it.
