Welcome to Amity Tracks. This is a channel where we discuss a wide range of music related topics. The focus will be on music from the 1960’s through the 1990’s, but not exclusively. Classic rock, progressive rock, psychedelic rock, hard rock, jazz, blues, folk, country, soul…all genres are fair game. From time to time we may dabble in other popular culture, such as film, history or sports. But music is primarily what we do here. The focus is on the music and the artists. We hope to encourage an open and dynamic community with fun and informative discussions not only in the videos, but also in the comments section. Please note that, while disagreement and discussion is welcome, no personal attacks or out of bounds comments will be tolerated. We want to be a part of the positive larger #vinylcommunity and other like-minded, music focused communities.

That 1989 album is horrible 😂😂😂
Not my favorite Police album. The synthesizers and horns make the sound weak. I never liked the back up singers when they played live either. Glad they took them out during the reunion tour.
MONGUER.....
The best album is : ……and then there are three 3️⃣ 😊
BEST F-CKING BAND EVER ! EVER!!!
I’ve got original copies of some of his albums, the debut through to Tonight’s The Night, I’d love to seek out the originals and maybe find a few represses for stuff that’s a little harder to find. I at least would like originals of all the 60’s and 70’s stuff lol.
I would consider myself a new fan of Neil’s. I’ve always liked a few songs from before, when I was a kid. But recently I started to really go deep into his stuff. So far I’ve heard all three Buffalo Springfield albums, Deja Vu/CSNY, and everything from his debut to Rust Never Sleeps. And I truly love all of it. I’ve listened to Homegrown, Hitchhiker and Chrome Dreams, loved those as well. And a few days ago I finally received the first archives box set, the long box edition on Blu Ray. Truly am blown away by that, the quality of the content is outstanding. These sets are growing more expensive but I feel I’m becoming that big of a fan where theses sets are going to be appreciated.! I need volume 2 next.!
Wow! XXX rocked 😳. Belt buckle 👍
I don't disagree with your appraisal, but you're a bit difficult to deal with...you organize your thoughts much, do you?
I have all the Byrds albums because I am a Byrds fan to the end and beyond.
1. Tres hombres 2. First album 3. Tejas 4. Fandango 5. Rythmeen 6. Muscularo 7. Deguello 8. El loco 9. Rio grande mud 10. La futura 11. Antenna 12. Eliminator 13. Recycler 14. Afterburner 15 xxx
Hendrix ist the overatet musician of All time. He couldend sing and prouduced online unlisenlibly noise
You may not like Blonde On Blonde, but sorry, it is his best album, period.
i’m finding some stark similarities in style between Gabriel’s Genesis stuff and his solo stuff especially his early solo.
Man, good work. Gracias

Hey, have you ever heard of Craig Smith/Maitreya Kali? He was a classic Acid Casualty, a la Roky Erickson and Skip Spence. You should check out his album “Apache-Inca” - really good music. Sounds a lot like Skip Spence’s Oar - another good forgotten album.
Excellent channel. You nail your reviews ❤️
Good taste,sir. This chart is PERFECT👍🏼
Not a big fan of Blonde on Blonde me neither so glad at least someone agrees. At large it sounds a bit silly and manneristic, far from the mean delivery on the previous album.
Con tutto il rispetto - it's your ranking, not mine -, Abacab, Invisible Touch (one of my three worst of their albums) and Genesis / Mama , cannot be inserted behind Wind , Trespass and And Then There too. Agree with you that Abacab is the best of the Pop era. Thank you for your rating.
Ahh …. Yes, the Bicentennial Year. I was 14 when so many of those legendary albums came out. At that time, I was rather oblivious to some of the band names who had released quality material. Rush, Genesis and Alan Parsons to name a few. Had no clue yet who they were, but I sure did enjoy what I was hearing on the radio from those bands. Obviously, I’m a big prog head, but ‘76 was the year I became attached to that genre. And I’m glad you shed significant light on ‘ Trick. ‘ Not many bands had come out with such a masterpiece after losing their genius, front man. Oh, and Station To Station is an excellent top 3 choice. It’s one of Bowie’s finest.
The first Traffic album the I heard was the second LP. I really like the Dave Mason stuff. I prefer the Traffic version of “Feeling Alright” over the Joe Cocker rendition. It has a much more relaxed feel. Traffic must have brought out the best in Mason. Mason’s first album is really good but he started to sound more like a lounge act. More commercial.
Great ranking, here’s mine!! 😄👍 1. “So” (1986) 2. “Peter Gabriel” (1980) 3. “Peter Gabriel” (1982) 4. “Us” (1992) 5. “Peter Gabriel” (1978) 6. “Peter Gabriel” (1977) 7. “Up” (2002) I haven’t listened to “I/O” yet but I’ll definitely check it out sometime soon!! 😀👍
Broadly agree and Knopfler also on Infidels. Dylan' Rolling Thunder Review threaded through America's heartland for 7 months in 1995 - 6 in with such distinctive musicians as Scarlet Rivera and Mick Ronson (ex David Bowie's lead guitarist). They forged - for me - definitive transformations of even such oldies as Hattie Carrol ('64). The Bootleg Series Vol 5 is a modestly priced 2 cds with 22 of those performances and has become my favorite Dylan hangout. No booklet but Scorcese's film probing - but only 6 live performances that are not playlisted on the DVD. Incidentally his bootleg series 1-3 now a cheap 3 cd set. Thanks Bob.
I like only the ATTWT / Duke / Abacab period. Can't stand the progressive (early) or drivel (late) periods. Maybe it's my age - I was 20 in 1980.
Akward question: could somebody suggest the Bowie's album which is, music-wise, as close as possible to "let's dance" ?
I guess Tonight would be, but it is not nearly as good.
@@amitytracks Thank You!
Robert Palmer is an artist with such great songs but every album is filled with riff raff and a nice comp is perfect. Same with Huey Lewis and they both have scarcely produced comps from different eras at different levels of quality, same with hall and Oates
The double album The Very Best of Hall & Oates does a great job

My top. 1 Darkness 2 Born to run 3 Nebraska 4 Greetings 5 The River 6 Western Stars 7 Born USA 8 The wild 9 The promise 10 Letter to you. Special mention . Tunnel of love, Magic.
Somebody To Love was actually written by her brother-in-law, Darby Slick 😲 😲 😲 😲 😲 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
13th Floor Elevators 🛗 better than Sergeant Pepper? 🤦♀️ 🤦♂️ 🤦
For me personally, yes. Objectively, no.
Not a Beatles fan! 😡 😢😢😢😢😢
I am a Beatles fan.
Overlooked! Buffalo Springfield Last Time Around! 😮😮😮😮😮😅😅😅😅😅
I'm a huge Springfield fan, but that one was kind of a hodgepodge release put together after they already broke up. But some great songs on there.
Actually, Brian Jones played autoharp on a song from Let It Bleed! 😲 😲 😲 😲 😲 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Gram Parsons overrated! Agreed! 😊😊😊😊😊
Excellent video! Here are 4 of my favorites: 1. Grand Funk- On Time 2. Grand Funk- self-titled 3. Steppenwolf- Monster 4. It’s A Beautiful Day- Self-titled 5. Jefferson Airplane- Volunteers
As a big Jackson Browne fan I find it strange someone claiming to be a fan spends a lot of time actually knocking over half of his albums. Also a real fan wouldn't have to study the back of the album covers to know what songs are on them. Name a Jackson Browne song and I will tell you exactly what album it's on. By the way, Naked Ride Home is way better than Lawyers In Love, which is easily his worst record.
So you are the Jackson Browne real fan police.
No, just a real fan. The thing is despite what you say Brown is still producing quality stuff which is comparable to the album's he made in his peak oeriod. Both his last two have been excellent. Name me one other from his era who's doing that ? Dylan, Neil Young, James Taylor, Springsteen ? None of those have made a decent album in 20 years.
Disagree that Dylan and Springsteen still don't do excellent work.
When you talk about genesis 1983, you don''t mention "it's gonna get better", which is the best song in this record.
"Invisible Sun" has additional vocal parts. "I Burn for You" here is a different version, not just cut compared to single release.
Loads of great albums missed here! Bad Co's debut, Little Feat, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Before the Flood, Planet Waves, two Deep Purple LP's, two Queen LP's, Budgie, UFO, Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest, Richard and Linda Thompson, Wishbone Ash, B.O.C., Supertramp.There's probably more, but all these artists brought out amazing albums this year!! Still, very enjoyable stuff, keep up the good work
Thanks! Those 70s years were loaded.
I haven’t even seen where you put Freedom yet. But I agree. And I think Ragged Glory is low, if anything. Great record.
Edit: wow, impressed with #3. I have to agree; beautifully produced, compelling songs. A true classic of his career.
I absolutely agree with Western Stars. His best album in the last thirty years. Was very surprised when this came out. His first four albums are his best for me, always loved Greetings from Asbury Park. He slowly declined from The River, although the slow songs on this album were great.
Afterburner above Tejas and Fandango is bold. Tres Hombres should always be 1 or 2.
Spot on about 'I've been waiting for you' - one of Neil's very best songs in my opinion (from a fine album), the Bowie version is not nearly as good
I think it's too impossible to do , I change my fav every month after a listen . Too many brilliant albums to put them in order , but well done trying .
My number one favorite is the self titled debut 1967 Low my second favorite
You dont have the Shopping Bag for Bark ?
Nope. Picked mine up used and it didn't have it.
Great picks, love your love for Outside, perfect often overlooked album. No Scary Monsters in top 10 though!
I think the "podium" is not arguable at all, the "wonders series" : Foxtrot-Selling England- The Lamb (in any order you prefer) for the rest we can debate... 😉
