A little over a week ago, I randomly decided to give Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys a listen and quickly became obsessed with the album. One thing lead to another and now I've been listening to music from the 60's and 70's pretty much exclusively. In addition to The Beach Boys, I've also been enjoying The Beatles, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Electric Light Orchestra, The Zombies, and even Frank Sinatra.
I used to listen to a decent amount of classic rock and oldies back in the day, but my exposure was limited in the sense that I was only familiar with popular hits. I never listened to any albums in their enterity and didn't know more than a handful of songs per artist, perhaps with the exception of Billy Joel and Foreigner (my mom played the shit out of those bands in her car when I was growing up). Thankfully, this older music trend that I've been in lately has enabled me to explore a bunch of albums in greater depth and develop a rich appreciation for the music of other generations. Does anyone have suggestions for other albums I should be listening to?
