They're all great bands though, and if it wasn't just 60s output the order would be changed.

Unbelievable that CCR made none of these lists.

The Doors > The Velvet Underground > The Kinks > The Beach Boys > The Beatles > The Rolling Stones

The first two positions are mostly for their debut albums, probably two of the best album made in the sixties.

The Beatles > TVU > The Stones > The Doors > The Kinks > The Beach Boys

Seriously, why so much Beach Boys worship? They had 1 (one) good album.

Wrong. Even if that were true, it doesn't mean they didn't have other good music outside of that one album

Tornados should be included for having the best song of the 60's.

Beach boys are so overrated in terms of importance. Good melodies and harmony singing but didnt write conceptually interesting lyrics at all, their later psychedelic stuff is clunky and he songs are too short for purchase. Finally they had only one real influential album and its more of the kind of album which people just say is nice but doesnt directly influence peoples sound. Furthermore the scene that it influenced most was gone within 3 years.

1. Beatles
2. Velvets
3. Kinks
4. Beach Boys
5. Doobs

>>75150966
Wild honey is severely overrated. Just decent pop songs on lazy production, sounding like spending too much time sucking a blind black mans dick. Also 24 minute record os ridoculous. Cheating their audience. Its an ep.

Any love for the Zombies?

Odyssey and Oracle is top tier, surely?

Beach Boys in the 60s had one A+ album, and another A+ album that wasn't released until 45 years later. They are not that great in the grand scheme of the 60s. Discog does not hold up. The Beatles literally had six A+ records in A ROW. Don't put them beside eachother

>>75148850

The Beach Boys were barely influential and the California sound basically took a totally different direction after they fell out of their prime

prove me wrong

>>75152953
He's right though, that's literally the root of their appeal

>>75152947
Whos a weird one because bar th who sells out, all of their bet work isnt really 60s. Tommy is 69 so its close. I wdnt call it a 60s album though. In the same vein as let it bleed. It capitalises on the decline of 60s culture.

>>75148850

I brought this up in another thread last night but why does it seem like the Doors are a common band for other artists of that era to shit on?

David Crosby hated Morrison in particular and the Doors, Joni Mitchell hated the Doors, I think Keef hated the Doors

One person suggested that they didn't fit in with the hippies of the era, but they weren't really any darker or harder than the Rolling Stones were they?

>>75153072
it's because they were genuinely mediocre and they are only legends because of the hype.

>>75152959
Am I right in thinking they weren't popular at all by the time The Doors, Jefferson Airplane etc where in their prime? And did fans of the aforementioned bands have beef with The Beatles for being too pop or whatever?

>>75153072
Probably jealous of their talent. The Who are the only band from that era that approach them in terms of musical ability

>>75153084
t. brainlet

>>75153072
Morrison is an unlikeable unprofessional character. Pretentious. Doors just seen as commercially capitalising on beatnik culture.

>>75153102
The cream?

>>75148850

Is it just me or did the Rolling Stones basically hijack the Kinks' distinct guitar sound? They had already put out "You Really Got Me" before "The Rolling Stones No. 2" came out and shot them to fame

Was it the other way around and The Rolling Stones were the ones who got hijacked by the Kinks? Am I just hearing things?

>>75148850

None of this really matters because we all know everyone was just ripping off Chuck Berry's sound in one way or another

>>75153312
This.

>>75153072
The End is one of the greatest songs of all time.

>>75153406

Shit and shoddy??
Listen to the Velvets discography and get back to me. You think everything they did was a transexual monologue/Sister Ray?
They (Lou) wrote exquisitely crafted pop-rock, just as good as anyone else in the 60s. Your ignorance is showing.

>>75152509
>>75154224

I can't fault anyone for not liking a particular type of music I guess, but at the very least literally no one was doing what the Velvets were at the time. Even the Beatles were just ripping off Chuck Berry until they grew into their own

>>75152610
really embarrassing post

>>75153070
The Who's best work is definitely from the 60s

Listen to more music
Both of your statements are wrong

>>75154424
I don't love Who's Next man, maybe it's because of how much that shit got overplayed on Classic Rock Radio, but I just hate how synth happy they got. I realize the synth was new technology and everyone was excited about it but man they weren't using it right. Even the tiny amount of synth on Abbey Road makes me roll my eyes. But on Who's Next it's just awful. Gimme those tight pop songs from the 60s like I Need You or Whiskey Man any fucking day

>>75154340
The beatles ripping off chuck berry is alot harder to do than the musical equivalent of throwing something in the bin.

>>75154224
Exquisitely crafted is abit far. Half of their songs are incomprehensible. They had good songs but they werent especially special or well written. They wouldnt be popular if they werent shoddy with zero production values on their first two albumsand that exactly their appeal.

>>75154458
the who wasn't a guitar band

>>75154224
And sister ray is my fave song of theirs but it still essentially capitalises on highway 61/blondr on blonde, just with a filthy mouth and screeching. Ill give it to you they were arty and used those influences but so was every other band like the doors or beatles.

>>75154458
I feel whis next used synth very well and very subtly.

>>75154551
Agree to disagree
>>75154518
..lol
>>75154505
I'm certain you've never listened to the Velvets discography if you're still saying this.
Femme Fatale, Venus in Furs, There She Goes Again, the entirety of Self Titled, the entirety of Loaded. Masterfully crafted pop-rock. Incomprehensible? Clean your ears.

Wilson was a near retard.

>>75154626

Yeah i said half their songs
All the songs u mentioned are shoddy productions. There she goes again is literally marvjn gaye rip ofg. Last 2 songs on banana are incomprehensible. So is heard her call my name and heck pretty much most of white light white heat., murder mystery. Run run run. Here she comes is not even a song its a mantra. Half the self titles album is just a rip iff of flying burrito brothers

>>75154638
Not even Brian Wilson would say Beach Boys>Beatles
>>75154748
So this is your criticism of music? Calling 50 year old recordings "shoddy" and calling something a loose "ripoff" of a then-contemporary act? Don't @ me again

>>75154748
Sorry loaded not the self titled. Ironically if they never made the first 2, loaded would probably be considered a better album

>>75154780
They were shoddy ffs
Compare banana album to sergeant pepper. Was fucking shoddy. They wd say that. Its how its supposed to be and their appeal in music. They are underproduced music with no boundaries. Its the sergeant pepper of indie music and overrated as such.

Lol at ur hissy fit.

>>75154687
You are not welcome on this board.

>>75154841
It's not a hissy fit, just bemusement. You'll probably get over this "hi-fi" phase when you're older and start evaluating the music for the music rather than how good the microphones were used to record that music. By your logic all music before 1970 (save the Beatles) sounds like a tin-can cellphone recording. I'm not going to convince you of anything, just know you're a pleb right now but eventually you won't be.

Beatles had better early output (Help, AHDN) Beach Boys had better "late" output (Surf's up, Smiley Smile, Today, Friends)

Beatles
Stones
TVU
Beach Boys
Doors
Kinks

>>75154963
Literally the only Beach Boys album that competes with the Beatles is Pet Sounds. If we're counting Smile, even though it didn't come out until 2011, then two. Beach Boys have two albums that can be mentioned alongside the Beatles. That means better late output? Because I'm assuming you were being silly when you implied Smiley Smile, Surf's Up, Friends can even approach Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, White Album, Abbey Road.

I'll make one concession: Pet Sounds is better than any Beatles album. But the next 7 best albums are all Beatle albums.

Lots of nicely produced 60s music. Im not saying nusic cant be shoddy. Im saying that vu shpuldnt be considered as GOAT because they innovated throwing music in the bin on purpose and pretebding to be bob dylan on crack and whores.

Lol on the contrary, you will get over your lo-fi vu fanboy craze like i did about 7 years ago, walking through the student union in a banana shirt.

>>75155104
>Lots of nicely produced 60s music
not really, most 60s bands sounded like shite

>>75155022
Smile is overrated i think and overpretentious.
Dont even consider it pop music. The dribble of a mad man.

>>75155135
And lots sounded nice when the technology presented itself. I can name many.

>>75155104
>Lol on the contrary, you will get over your lo-fi vu fanboy craze like i did about 7 years ago, walking through the student union in a banana shirt.
Lel. I don't care about lo-fi or hi-fi, I care about the music. How well it's written, arranged and performed. The fact that you wore that shirt around so proudly but are no renouncing them shows me that you carry music around a fashion accessory and probably don't care all that much about the sounds going into your ears. Also I don't believe you've listened to much 60s music if you think the Velvets sound like music in a trashbin. They sound pretty well par for the course as far as music from then is produced and recorded. Yeah, White Heat sounds pretty bad but that's only one of their albums. So maybe you just don't like old music because it doesn't sound like crisp clean Max Martin production: your loss.

>>75155136
Fair enough. I like Smile and thought I'd mention it because most people think it's pretty great.

>>75155022
Pet Sounds is inferior to several of the albums that came after.

Most of the Beatles albums you mentioned aren't that good aside from Sgt. Pepper's. The Beatles early output > their late output.

Your opinions are stale.

>>75155136
I genuinely don't think Brian is capable of being pretentious. He's very outwardly insecure.

>>75155231
I'd rather have a stale opinion than a hopelessly contrarian opinion like yours.

>>75155022
Triple post but just going to point out that Rubber Soul is a solid 5/10.

>>75155271
Any other cutting edge opinions you want to get off your chest before this thread is lost with the dust of the internet ?

>>75155254
Having an opinion contrary to you means that I must be holding that opinion just to spite you.

How narcissistic can you be ?

>>75155285
Whoa I just go deja vu. I think I might have had this exact conversation with someone on /mu/. I hate reruns, time for a new thread

Before I leave though, reread your post (the one this is replying to) and see if you can spot the irony

>>75155191
You miss the point. I never said i didnt like shoddy music. I said vu should be put on a pedestal for making shoddy music. Theres also a difference between an album which lacks production values because of some necessity e.g. technological or economic, and the vu actively throwing music in a bin when tryig to be creative. Dont u see that is there appeal? And where their biggest respect is drawn from? They made it okay to shit on music with droney violins and screeching and talking about getting your cock sucked by underage prostitutes.

Banana album sounds no where near as nice as pretty much every other popular album produced in 67.

And i changed my mind because people change and i listen to far more 60s music now than i did then. I have a broader perspective on music now.

>>75148850
Your list:

Kinks
Beach Boys
Velvets
Beatles
Stones
Doors

Actual best 60s bands:

Stooges
Magic Band
The Monks

>>75155243
But it comes across that way because smile is so conceptually convoluted and forgoes pop convention. Ots not as offensively pretentious as townsend sometimes though.

>>75155357
I just don't understand why you're so vehemently against The Velvets if you say you like 60s music. For the most part they just made pleasant 60s pop rock. You can hate their noisy droney guitar songs and their songs about fucking trannies and still be left with dozens of wonderful songs. And I never said they were the GOATs but they are quite good and one of my favorites. They're not half as polarizing as you're making them out to be. Were the Velvets an ex-girlfriends favorite band or something ?

>>75155438
I still like them, my point is theyre just overrated. Theres not one of their albums except white light/white heat that i wouldnt change.

>>75155651
Now you're just confusing me. So the one album of theirs you like the most presumably (because you wouldn't change it) is the one album of theirs that embodies all the things you don't like about them ? What the fuck ?

Anyway "overrated" is such a tepid, nothing criticism that it's not even worth wording. Everyone is overrated in the eyes of another person.

>>75155798
>is the one album of theirs that embodies all the things you don't like about them ?

No, embodied why people overrate them. Tbh i think of the banana one not white light white heat when i hink of why theyre overrated.

>>75155896
So which is your favorite?

>>75155798
Im not sure i like it the best. I used to but maybe i like the material in selftitled better, not sure but i think its coherent in a sense tat i cant imagine a better version of it. Maaybe because of its "anything goes" ideology. I do like the analogy though that thay album is like rummaging for broken songs from a dump. Not in a bad way but sister ray and white light white heat sound like broken versions of relatively traditional music styles.

The Beatles (1966-1969)>>>>>>>>>The Beatles (1963-1965)>>>>The Beach Boys

James Brown is the GOAT
Most underdiscussed artist on this board by a mile

>>75157665
Single oriented musicians are impossible for /mu/ to talk about or evaluate since the album is the centrepoint for music as art. As JB has no good albums hes almost impossible to talk aboyt.

>>75158012
Problem with James is that his best albums are all live albums. Live at the Apollo 1, 2, and Sex Machine. And as you said, a lot of singles. He should be top10 on everyone's 60s lists but no one ever talks about him. Maybe they need the Mr Dynamite-pill

>>75159528
This might be one of the most autistic things I've ever seen, ever

>>75159570
Seconded

I'd put the Doors at number one because their catalogue is fairly expansive with the early raga rock, the big band middle period, and the stripped down blues of the late period, but also has some true masterpieces early on

Then the velvet underground because while they got pretty middling later on the first two albums are incredibly high quality and prescient. The s/t is pretty comfy folk rock and Loaded/VU have some nice tracks

Beatles go next. They have some pretty good psychedelic pieces between revolver and MMT, their late period has some relatively modest but high quality tracks. I'm a big fan of the first half of their discog, with the early 50s pop and then the folksy albums that I like best (might just have burnt out on the later beatles desu but rubber soul stands up the strongest after autistic listening)

Fourth are beach boys. Smile/Pet Sounds are GOAT albums, the early singles are phenomenal pop, and the 70s albums have some pretty good and interesting material. Brian's a fucking genius btw

Stones come very close after beach boys. They have some of the best pop songs (Spend the night together, brown sugar, start me up), and have a few good albums (aftermath, their satanic majesties, beggars banquet, sticky fingers, and exile). Mick is a great vocalist, Jones brought a lot of interesting sounds, Taylor played guitar pretty well on some songs, and Wyman/Watts probably deserve the spot of the tightest rhythm section, especially among these 6.

I'm not really familiar with the Kinks so I can't comment on them really but I like most of the tracks they have. Kinda surprised the Who aren't on the list but I understand why I suppose

>>75151286
Except the fact Smiley Smile was 20 years ahead of its time with the idea of lo fi albums? It's infuential as fuck.

>>75153072
Don't forget that Dennis Wilson beat the crap out of Morrison in some bar in the 60's. And Beach Boys was Jim's favorite band I think. kek

>>75154626
You forgot I'll Be Your Mirror, probably my favorite song of theirs. Just beautiful.

>>75148850
The Jimi Hendrix Experience > The Doors > everything else

>>75159678
And Something Else too.

>>75161631
I really hope Are You Experienced is his worst album because that's the only one I know and it was average. Completely didn't get the hype.

>>75161554
How was it ahead of its time?

>>75150931
It somehow became cool to like them here and /mu/ is full of mindless sheep.

Haven't listened enough of the Kinks to comfortably rank them.

>>75169298

Start with "The Kinks Are Village Green Preservation Society" or "Arthur:Decline of the British Empire".

>>75148884

Stones always trailed the Beatles while the latter was active. The Satanic Majesties Request was a a poor follow up for Sgt Peppers. Rolling Stones' golden run only started when Beatles run ended.

>>75152947

Everyone has forgotten the Who here. Putting Beach Boys over Who is wrong. The Who gave the first proper concept album[Tommy] and Townshend was a better songwriter than most[maybe except Ray Davies of Kinks]. Daltrey's voice was powerful enough and they had possibly the best drummer in the game.

>>75159640

Wait, the Doors weren't raga rock ever. Raga rock incorporatizes usually Indian elements of music and sitar as an instrument. Doors never used a sitar on any of their songs. Their distinctive sound was due to use of keyboard bass instead of a bass guitar.

The Monks>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>everyone who made music in the 60s

>>75169620
It's Monks, without the.

>>75169399
Artwork is the only similarity between these albums. If anything, TSMR is closer to Piper's style.

>>75169534
You really don't hear Indian influences in The End?

Best song written by any of them is Waterloo Sunset

>>75148850

The Byrds really should not be left out on this list, how many acts of that era can claim that they were the literal founders of their genre while influencing even Bob Dylan and the Beatles?

vu>kinks>beach boys>rolling stones>beatles>doors.

1. The Beatles
2. The Who
3. The Beach Boys
4. The Velvet Underground
5. The Kinks

Stones and Doors suck.

>the who number 2

>>75171078
lol I remember that game. That was in Miami. Poor Joakim.

And yeah, Who Sell Out, Live at Leeds, and Quadrophenia easily put The Who over everyone else.

>>75169371
Village Green is a top5 album in the whole 60s. Shame most people haven't heard it. Nothing sounds like it

>>75170854
Waterloo Sunset is such a meme. Not even one of the Kinks 10 best songs
>>75169620
Literally 1 album. Fuck off
>>75171001
This nigga knows. The Byrds are arguably the most influential American band ever.

>>75161722
The only song that I really enjoy on this album is Purple Haze, but Eletric Ladyland is arguably better.

>>75161722
Are You Experienced is average? Hahaha holy fuck imagine thinking this. I would just quit music as a hobby and take up reading or something.

>>75172135
it's a great song, fuck off. Name 10 better then

I think this was brought up earlier but were the Beach Boys even influential in the long run? The so called "California Sound" ended up going more in the direction of the Grateful Dead and the Doors after Brian lost his fucking mind

>>75172723
>>75172802
great songs of course, I just prefer Waterloo Sunset

>>75172723
I agree, i barely listen to waterloo sunset. Boring.

>>75172135
I agree byrds are one of the most influential big american bands in folk rock psychedelia and country but they just never had any songs that really stood out.

>>75148930
the beach boys were their greatest competition in 65, paul admitted this

>>75172979
I like Waterloo Sunset too but I'm in this boat
>>75173268
I just find it dull among their catalogue and find it curiously singled out as their masterpiece.

>>75173297
I guess their hits are mostly covers but that speaks to their brilliance so be able to take someone elses song and totally make it their own. I just find them very under-discussed here considering how many acts and people they influenced. They were the only American band the Bealtes hung out with and for a reaosn

>>75173595
Its not that they don't have good originals they just dont stick out. There best albums dont have outsick songs. Their later period albums anyway

>>75173745
I disagree. Many of their songs pop into my head throughout the week and I haven't listened to them in months. I think you should give them another chance. Their first five albums are masterful

>>75173745
>>75173779
Also I'd like to add that the Byrds are one of the few acts that actually have great stereo mixes. The layers of jangly guitars are given new life

>>75173779
Yes i do. I like notorious and sweethear alot though. They dont have strong hit type tunes.

>>75173863
A hit is based on how popular or catchy it was, but the thing is, it's just you listened to the music. Any song you really like is a hit for you. Doesn't really matter what the charts had to say about it because they weren't there listening with you. Every song I like is a hit.

>>75171001
my nibba
their cover of tambourine man is better than dylans
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUSeJtqHIKE

>>75173923
Every Dylan song is better than the original
Every cover they did period is better than the original. Best cover band ever

>>75169779
not them, but that's one song bruv

Was Michael Clarke (guy in the center for those not familiar with individual Byrds members) autistic or something, he's making this awkward face and body posture in every single picture of the band

>>75174461
He wasn't autistic. I notice this in a lot of pictures of the band, I believe he was the youngest which make make up for the awkwardness in his appearance. They all had quite different personalities, Gene Clark for example was really serious during interviews and in many photos.

I could tell which one David Crosby was immediately, even today he has that prickish unjustified arrogant look about him
