Good list ElD. Well apart from the fact it made me feel very old (I was going 'O levels' and listening to Joy Division the year you were born  )

Thank you I'm finishing the book challenge before I start this but I think I'm going to crib a fair bit from your list. If anyone has a shout out for their favourite album from 1969 onwards give us a shout! I was going to try haim and led zeppelin

If you're not averse to trad/folk, Fairport Convention's 'Liege And Lief' is an excellent example of the genre.
Complete different: Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band, 'Trout Mask Replica' and Frank Zappa's 'Hot Rats' show how far the musical rubber band can be stretched.
Eponymous Stooges album is a cornerstone of proto-punk.
I much prefer The Kinks's concept album, 'Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)' to 'Sgt Pepper' 2 years earlier.

Marvin Gaye - What's going on. Up with the likes of Sign 'o the times as a real high water mark in R n B history and very listenable

I think it's 1969 that's the year in question. 'What's Going On' was 1971. Cracking album tho'.
