Cheap Thrills
In 1968, Cheap Thrills arrived like a dare. Loud, loose and confrontational, with Janis Joplin pushing against the limits of what rock singing was supposed to be.
1960s
Ella and Basie!
In 1963, Ella Fitzgerald and Count Basie released 'Ella and Basie!' A record where swing is reduced to its essentials.
Gal Costa
In 1969, Gal Costa released 'Gal Costa.' A tropicalia fever-dream where pop sweetness and political electricity share the same breath.
Philosophy of the World
In 1969, The Shaggs released 'Philosophy of the World.' A record with one of the strangest origin stories ever told.
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.
