    I thought I was the only somebodys that had this one.

    There are only a 3 cuts I like off this ... "Chariots of Silk", "Catblack the Wizard's Hat", & "She Was Born To Be My Unicorn" (jesus how embarssing).
    The album's enough to turn anyone into half a ... I mean... the rest of the stuff sounds swishy and really heavy handed compared to what The Incredible String Band were doing in the same vein.

    yeah, good stuff.......I really dug their music post pet sounds, the surfin/girls/school/car songs were ok, but these were deep and were more of the time. I love all the songs you named, along with Forever, no one but Dennis could have sung that song.

    I would have to pick Let It Bleed as well.

    I bought the new Stones cd tonight. I'm not expecting Let It Bleed/Beggars Banquet/Sticky Fingers quality (or even Some Girls), but I hope it doesn't suck.

    Monkey Man

    By Jagger/Richards


    I'm a fleabit peanut monkey
    All my friends are junkies

    That's not really true

    I'm a cold Italian pizza

    I could use a lemon squeezer

    Whould you do?



    I've been biten

    I've been tossed around by every she-rat in this town

    Have you, Babe?



    Well, I'm just a monkey man

    I'm glad you are a monkey woman too



    I was bitten by a boar

    I was gouged and I was gored

    But I pulled on through

    I am a sack of broken eggs

    I always have an unmade bed

    Don't you?



    Well, I hope we're not too messianic

    Or a trifle too satanic

    We love to play the blues



    And I'm just a monkey man

    I'm glad you are a monkey woman too

    In July of 1968, Iron Butterfly released the monumental LP, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, featuring the 17:05 minute side-long track that shook the entire music industry with its phenomenal reception. 'Vida outsold every record in the history of recorded music within the first year of its release (over eight million copies sold) and therefore outgrew and outsold the standard of the music industry's "Gold Album" award. For this achievment, Iron Butterfly was subsequently awarded: The Industry's Very First "Platinum Album"! This historic award was created and presented by then-president of ATCO Records Ahmet Ertegun, who went on to become the current CEO of the WEA Group. Most recently, "Vida" received the Multi-Platinum award.

    I'd definately say Dylan's Nashville Skyline is one of my favourites out of all that's been mentioned; and I'll also say Ummagumma, since I love Pink Floyd, even though it was by far the worst album they ever recorded.
