1960s

The Pick of the '60s.
Definitive Albums: Scott Walker 'Scott 4' (1969)
Walker's unquestioned masterpiece is an uneasy mixture of MOR balladry, lyrical savagery, and hesitant avant-gardism.
Definitive Albums: Os Mutantes 'Os Mutantes'
These barmy Brazilians' riotous debut album is a freakadelic fusion of Beatles-esque studio experimentation and traditional Afro-Portuguese rhythms.
Definitive Albums: Brigitte Fontaine 'Comme à la Radio'
In 1969, a French chanteuse, an Algerian multi-instrumentalist, and a Chicago jazz quartet undertook an experimental, exploratory, revolutionary musical voyage.
Definitive Albums: The Monks 'Black Monk Time'
With four decade's worth of hindsight, the Monks' still-thrilling debut may've birthed both punk and kraut-rock.
