1969 was the year I graduated from high school.  It was also a great year for music. 

You have three votes; and you can change them.

The Archies' Sugar Sugar was the #1 biggest hit of the year, The Monkees were still together, and The Jackson Five debuted.

Live/Dead is missing  >:(  Deadheads get no respect in these polls.

Anyway, The Band has to get a vote. Nashville Skyline is a favorite for very personal reasons, so it gets a vote. And Dusty in Memphis is just about the greatest album ever.

Let It Bleed
Blind Faith
LZ II

Though Let It Be was recorded in 1969, it was not released until 1970. Abbey Road is the Beatles album that belongs on a list for 1969. If you can change Let It Be to Abbey Road, I would vote for Abbey Road instead of Blind Faith.

Beatles, Who and Miles

Stockhausen is no match for that combo.

This may sound surprising, but I'd rather hear Stockhausen to any of those three.  Even I have my limits.

Let it Be was recorded in 1969 but not released until 1970. Beatles 1969 = Abbey Road.

In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

Did any of you listen to In a Silent Way in 1969? I was unaware of anything by Miles Davis except for Bitches Brew until the 1990s, when Columbia put out all those box sets.

I added Abbey Road but left Let it Be since people have voted for it.

The Band and Dusty are truly great records - I need to check but John Wesley Harding may also have come out in 1969 (EDIT: actually 1967), and I prefer that one to Nashville Skyline, not to take anything away from that record, which is also great, but for other reasons.

I am unable to change my vote. I would leave off Blind Faith and add Abbey Road if possible.
