Brian Eno said this band only had 200 fans, but each one started a rock ‘n’ roll band. Alternative rock starts here.

DJ MTSPEN says:
For me, this album changed how I listened to music and how I developed deeper connections with artists. All nine members stand out on the album, and its such a unique mix of sounds and display of raw creativity they show.

DJ Cheshire Cat says:
By 1969, The Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, Gong, and others had hinted at the progressive rock genre. The cacophonous audio assault of “21st Century Schizoid Man”, this album’s opening track, was the howling birth cry of the newborn movement. The specificity and purpose of King Crimson’s arrangements on their debut is amazeballs. That they eschewed mining psychedelia and existing folk music for their inspiration and created a self-contained mythos in each song is simply astonishing.

52. The Beatles – Magical Mystery Tour [1967]
Nominated by
DJ McKenzie of Splitting Hairs & The Beatles: A Week in the Life.
In their new songs, the Beatles continued the studio experimentation that had typified Sgt. Pepper and the psychedelic sound they had introduced in 1966 with Revolver. Author Mark Hertsgaard highlights “I Am the Walrus” as the fulfilment of the band’s “guiding principle” during the sessions – namely to experiment and be “different”. To satisfy Lennon’s request that his voice should sound like “it came from the moon”, the engineers gave him a low-quality microphone to sing into and saturated the signal from the preamp microphone.
