    5 fav LPs from 68 and 78

    FIVE from each year - ANY genre, no restrictions. Only ONE condition - studio albums or premiere live performances only (i.e. for classical works), so no live albums of previously released material and no compilations.

    Now for a Psych year and a New Wave year.


    1968
    1. Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets
    2. The Doors - Strange Days
    3. Buffalo Springfield - Last Time Around
    4. Cream - Wheels of Fire
    5. Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland


    1978
    1. Kate Bush - The Kick Inside
    2. Gerry Rafferty - City to City
    3. Dire Straits - s/t
    4. The Stranglers Black & White
    5. Squeeze - s/t
