It's really hard to pick my favorite Byrds album. I really like the first four albums a lot (''Mr. Tambourine Man'', ''Turn! Turn! Turn!'' , ''Fifth Dimension'' ''Younger Than Yesterday'' ) and ''Sweetheart of the Rodeo'' with Gram Parsons.

To me The Byrds were pioneers. They blended folk, country and psychedelic music. I think they started the whole country rock scene of the late 60's-early 70's, which eventually turned into southern rock in the mid 70's.

I missed the whole Byrds era, but was lucky enough to see Roger McGuinn in concert once.
