Album of 2011 (Part III) - VOTE NOW!

[1964white]

My three favourite albums already nominated

[Muppet the Cat]

The winner Cat

Not so sure 64

Probably between Revolver, BonB and PS. But Revolver isn’t even my favourite Beatles album; I don’t own any Dylan album and the only vote PS would get from me is ‘most crap LP cover of all time’...........so who knows

[1964white]

In a way it’s better when we don’t know (pretty much) which album is going to win before we start and it’s a closer run thing

I doubt any of our players could have predicted the winner Cat

Another album that should fare well, a Dylan classic.

First album I bought with my own (pocket) money, aged about 13, after seeing a busker playing Dylan songs outside York Minster.

[Sara]

Has to be Frank Zappa and the Mothers 'Freak Out'

Seminal

My second choice, only on the basis that I didn't hear it until years after the Dylan.

[John in Louisiana]

Great year for albums. The Who released "A Quick One" and Otis Redding released "Dictionary of Soul."

"Pet Sounds," "Revolver," "Freak Out," and "Blonde On Blonde" are all amazing.

I'm going to nominate "Face to Face" by the Kinks.

[hector]

I don't own any from this year, never have owned any from this year, and never listened to one of them all the way through

so no nomination from me...

'Revolver' is a splendid album & will be my firm favourite to win this poll imo!

I nominated the gorgeous 'Pet Sounds' as it is in my top ten albums of all-time. I know not everyone enjoys PS which is the Beach Boys Sgt. Peppers according to many music critics. Brian Wilson's classic work requires a few listens, one of my desert island discs. Love it

'Blonde On Blonde' is a Dylan classic & will do well even though there are some folk who can't stand Bob's music

[1964white]

Indeed John, a splendid year for us oldies

Beach Boys, Beatles, Buffalo Springfield, Byrds, Cream, Donovan, Dylan, Kinks, Mama & Papas, Mayall, Love, Redding, Simon & Garfunkel, Nina Simone, Stones, Who, Zappa & more....

Makes years like 2015 look distinctly average!

Of course you can listen to the nominations & vote accordingly Hector, you maybe pleasantly surprised

[The Subhuman]

Yardbirds - Yardbirds aka Roger the Engineer also high on my list, all JB guitar work o that one

Donovan's Sunshine Superman I like a lot, The Monkees debut, S&G - Parsley Sage Rosmary and Thyme,

There's an under rated album from Paul Revere and the Raiders called Midnight Ride. 13th Floor Elevators too

Wilson Pickett challenges Otis Redding for Soul Album of the Year

Buffalo Springfield, Tim Hardin and Phil Ochs for the folk crown

Good year all round but 67 is better

[Sara]

Don't forget East-West by the Butterfield Blues Band.

Don't know the Revere 'Midnight Ride' album, one for the playlist

The rest are familiar to me. Hardin & Ochs are good shouts

[1964white]

I'm hoping someone nominates Nina Simone's Wild Is The Wind' album, absolutely superb

[onemoreslogan]

faaip hit on my nomination: Buffalo Springfield, Buffalo Springfield

[onemoreslogan]

Also a shoutout to a pet fave of mine: Dirty Water by the Standells

[gessa]

I'm hoping someone nominates Nina Simone's Wild Is The Wind' album, absolutely superb

It's 1 of the 2 I'm considering

[billie1]

“ Ascension “ John Coltrane

( I also considered the soundtrack from Alfie by Sonny Rollins ) .

[gessa]

Have 3 from the year.

The Blues Project - Projections
The Standells - Dirty Water.
Nina Simone - Wild is the Wind.
Also like the 13th Floor Elevators, Nick nominated in a previous poll.
