Welcome to Amity Tracks. This is a channel where we discuss a wide range of music related topics. The focus will be on music from the 1960’s through the 1990’s, but not exclusively. Classic rock, progressive rock, psychedelic rock, hard rock, jazz, blues, folk, country, soul…all genres are fair game. From time to time we may dabble in other popular culture, such as film, history or sports. But music is primarily what we do here. The focus is on the music and the artists. We hope to encourage an open and dynamic community with fun and informative discussions not only in the videos, but also in the comments section. Please note that, while disagreement and discussion is welcome, no personal attacks or out of bounds comments will be tolerated. We want to be a part of the positive larger vinyl community and other like-minded, music focused communities.

Great selections again. Like the Os Mutantes mention, fun album. As more honorable mentions than top ten I might add: The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark, The Natch'l Blues (T. Mahal,) Anthem of the Sun, Last Time Around, First Take (R. Flack,) Children of the Future, The Velvet Underground (3rd), Eli and the Thirteenth Confession.
Totally agree re Stones , Banquet , Bleed, Sticky and Exile , unbelievable .
The Move self-titled debut should belong on any best of 1968 list.
Very interesting/enjoyable review. My new favourite YT channel!
Great list! Notorious is my favourite Byrds album. Electric Ladyland my favourite Hendrix. What a year. One of the comments mentions The Incredible String Band's Wee Tam and the Big Huge (which I second), but the group also released The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter in 1968, another great one.
Nothing wrong with calling nearly every album from this period unique. I heard an interview with a couple guys from Living Color, and they were asked what kind of rock they play. To which one answered that when they were growing up, The Stones played Stones music, and Deep Purple or Aerosmith all played their own brands of music respectively. Now the various analogies of who belongs where is pretty baffling, even if there are some blatant ripoffs.
just found your channel and caught up on the year top tens, every album you have shown are killer, love them all, i just love the way you present your videos with such passion and knowledge, will try to catch up with your other videos soon, look forward to 1969
Yeah, perfect side 4. Astral Weeks in my top ten all time. Loved watching Dr. John tossing strobe lit glitter out on the audience.
Thanks for this! My vinyl collection will grow substantially after watching you. I was born early 60's and obviously too young to remember much but later on started to appreciate how great this Era in music was and still is.
Love this channel. I probably agree on all choices.
Great choices…again new things to check !!
Doctor John! They ain't heard Doctor John? Is there no hope for the younger generation? (it's the beer* talking, by the way). *Cooper's red label
S.F Sorrow from pretty things
Stones did only covers before Beggar's Banquet? You seem to be overlooking Aftermath, Between the Buttons, Satanic Majesty's Request, etc etc.
Hello, nice video by the way.
First I agree with you Electric Ladyland is a masterpiece, but where are the San Francisco bands
In the list?
Greetings from Sweden……
There is no accounting for taste, I respect someone else's favourite albums, what might be boring for me is great for other people, as far as "music from big pink" it is indeed a great album bit I find it a bit tiring sometimes, I think electric ladyland is my top 10 ever
Wheels Of Fire from
Cream is my favorite album.
Gri Gri was on my top 10 also. I like Floyd’s 2nd album better than the first. Do you like the Byrds?
Great video. Mutantes is without a doubt my favorite Brazilian band, an icon of the Tropicalia musical movement.
Electric LadyLand changed my world. For real. ✌
I really enjoyed this. I have 9 of the 10. New subscriber.
1968 was probably the height (along with '67) of psychedelia so where is "Crown Of Creation" which is probably my favorite from 1968? And "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vita," the 2nd biggest selling album of the 60's and the first album ever to go platinum, Moody Blues "In Search Of The Lost Chord," The Doors "Waiting For The Sun," the first Quicksilver Messenger Service," Strawberry Alarm Clock's "Wake Up It's Tomorrow," or The Zombies "Odessey and Oracle."
Don't waste your money folks on vinyl records. CD technology is 5 times better than vinyl.
Trying to claim vinyl is "warmer" sounding is as stupid as people who might claim that DVD is "sharper" than 4K.
Or that planet Earth is flat.
Your enthusiasm for Gris Gris got me to subscribe. Excellent taste all around. I also love the psychedelic bands–Cream, Buffalo Springfield, early Pink Floyd.
So glad I got some time tonight to listen to this edition. Just wanted to chime in. My candidates who I feel were snubbed: Steppenwolf, the Doors Waiting for the Sun, Buffalo Springfield Last Time Around, and if you're going to have one soundtrack ever make the list, then the Soundtrack Album to Hair deserves a top ten nod, or at the very least an HM.
