JUNE 1969 ALBUM TRACKS

PLAY THE SHOW

The older I get, the more I feel capable of determining which music will be deemed timeless and ‘classic’ and which can be dismissed as trendy or short-lived. Either that, or I’m so old I can’t see past the music of my own youth. The music from 1969 makes me wonder which of these options is the right one, because I seem to like so much music from this era. I’m not some ageing hippie, pining for the ‘good old days’, but I feel that there is an undeniable quality to much of the music created during this era, a quality that makes itself just as apparent to subsequent generations as it had been to mine. To varying degrees, each of the albums featured today can be considered classic; if an album has remained available forty years after its initial release, what else can you call it?
