1960s
Tous Les Garçons et Les Filles
In 1962, Françoise Hardy released 'Tous Les Garçons et Les Filles.' A debut album that made loneliness fashionable and gave pop music a new emotional vocabulary.
Safe as Milk
In 1967, Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band released 'Safe as Milk.' A blues record bent just far enough out of shape to feel dangerously unhinged.
Hot Buttered Soul
In 1969, Isaac Hayes released 'Hot Buttered Soul.' A record that broke soul music out of the three-minute single and rebuilt it as something cinematic, slow-burning and expansive.
Freak Out!
In 1966,The Mothers of Invention released 'Freak Out!' A debut album that treated American pop culture as something to be cut open, examined and laughed at.
Blasé
In 1969, Archie Shepp released 'Blasé'. A record that drifts between jazz, chanson, blues and theatre - and refuses to belong neatly to any of them.
