This was such a groovy idea by Connie Mclean(Constantia) that I had to do one too..here are my 26 albums of the alphabet (some of them are the artist name instead if I couldn't find the letter), and most of the music is 60s & 70s & 90s mixed in:
A - Abbey Road - Beatles (I have to say that most of the Beatles albums I love a lot!! umm..i picked this album of theirs because its got my fav. song ever by them on it..Octopus's Garden..theirs so many good songs on it like Let It Be, Here Comes the Sun etc..)
B - Breakfast In America - Supertramp (one of the albums that I can listen to over and over and never get bored of it)
C - Cross of Changes - Enigma (nature paradise music..it takes me to far away exotic places and very relaxing..i usually meditate with this album)
D - Diamonds - Elton John (a fun album to listen to when feeling down, especially Crocodile Rock!)
E - Electric Light Orchestra (one of my most fav. 70s bands, great music to rollerskate to!)
F - France Gall - 1968 (she's one of my fav. French 60s singers and the songs are so poppy in a groovy happening way!)
G - Gold - Traffic (Dear Mr. Fantasy is hands down one of my fav. songs ever!!! its got a double cd of all their hit songs and more..its a groovy trippy album.
H - Hotel California - The Eagles (Glenn Frey is so dreamy!! one of the great bands with great harmonies and this is a groovy album to listen to in the car going on a long road trip)
I - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida - Iron Butterfly (another groovy trippy album..i love the song Flowers and Beads and also they have a super duper version of the album title song at the end..its like a whopping 17 minutes!!)
J - Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland (yess..Crosstown Traffic!! reminds me of a vintage vinyl shop in Ottawa by the same name..i miss that place a lot! Although my fav. Hendrix song is not on this album (Purple Haze), its still a groovy album to listen to! Jimi Hendrix is my guitar God always forever!!
K - K - Kula Shaker (the 90s album that got me back to being a flower child hippie..i love the Indian sitar vibes, there's also a song dedicated to the Grateful Dead on it, there's mantra music..its just an incredible album..i own all Kula Shaker albums they've ever done, but this one is still my most fav.)
L - Legend - Bob Marley (reggae king!! its groovy summer music!!)
M - Morrison Hotel - The Doors (i'm not too into the bonus tracks though, but the first part is heaven really!! Love Jim's voice, the band is beyond great, and Roadhouse Blues really gets me going in the mornings before heading off to art class (I miss my art classes a lot!!). Also love the song Peace Frog.
N - Naked Eye - Luscious Jackson (this is an ep with 4 songs in total, this is a 90s gem to own!!)
O - Odelay - Beck (another groovy 90s album!! I got into Beck when I first heard the song "Loser" and this is the best album he made..its got so many amazing songs on it like The New Pollution!
P - Poems Prayers & Promises - John Denver (Take Me Home Country Roads is a song my Grandad would play in the truck a lot when we'd go visit his farm in Plantagenet Ontario)
Q - Queens of Noise - The Runaways (a total rock n roll album!! love Cherie Curie's voice and guitar riffs..makes me wish I could be in an all girl band!!)
R - Rumours - Fleetwood Mac (huge Huge Stevie Nicks fan!! Go Your Own Way is fun to sing real loud in the car!!)
S - Sgt. Pepper - Beatles (another fav. of theirs!! Lennon/McCartney genius writing duo!!!)
T - Thunder Lightning Strike - Go Team! (fun times in high school & dancing in the lunch room!)
U - Ukuyeye - Mareva Galanter (I think this is a 90s album? her music is very catchy 60s pop like Pourquoi Pas Moi which was originally done by Stella in 1963)
V - Vortex - Candice Pacheco (techno tribal band D'Cuckoo..incredible African vibe music, very nature-y)
W - Wolfmother - self-titled album (since being a fan of Led Zeppelin, this band has recreated that amazing 70s rock sound..its one of my fav. albums to play when I feel lonely)
X - Xavier Rudd - Food In the Belly (amazing Australian guy who plays loads of instruments including my fav. didgeridoo, this sound is so much fun when I used to do Modern dance in Ottawa, there was a guy there who'd play this instrument when we danced..fun!!!)
Y - Yardbirds - (I got into them when I saw the 1966 film Blow-Up online and loved the film a lot! And there's a groovy concert scene near the end when the Yardbirds play on the stage and it got me loving their music!!)
Z - Led Zeppelin 2 & 3..LOOOOVE this band!!!
