Awh yeah. I've got pretty much everything I can by them. They'd either go right over or right under The Beach Boys for me, depending on what day it is.

As for the other 8 I haven't a clue.

I'mma check out Weezer's music. Smiley
The Byrds are ok i just hate how they changed the sound and made it country. Gram Parsons really influenced them to make that change. smh :/
The Monkees were a gimmick band as much as people will try to deny it. they had a few hits my favorite of their singles is "A little bit of me, A little bit of you".

The Monkees started out as a manufactured pop band - in much the same way the Beach Boys started out singing songs about surfing and girls. Their run of albums from Headquarters through Head, though, is as good as any other four-album run in history. Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd, in particular, is as good as any album I've ever heard.

Gram Parsons is cool, though, although Sweetheart of the Rodeo is a pretty limp album. If you want to see what the fuss is about, try listening to The Flying Burrito Brother's 'The Gilded Palace of Sin' for the real 'country rock' sound. Rocks harder. Better songs. Gram is actually present.

They were going away from it anyway - Have you heard The Notorious Byrd Brothers? Definitely more psychedelic/country, and in 1968 the band were kinda in crisis - No Crosby, no Gene Clark, and McGuinn couldn't carry it alone. Also, it wasn't just Gram pushing them - Hillman was also advocating the country direction. But yes, it's a definite change. I like the later ones, as they slot into the Laurel Canyon style music that I'm digging presently.

I would just like to throw in that Sweetheart of the Rodeo is not the first ever country rock album. It's a rock band playing straight country music - there is a difference. Only the last Dylan cover sounds remotely rockish. I do think if the original Byrds lineup had stuck together they would have been the best group of the 60's, that's right, even better than The Beach Boys!!

Too FM Radio for me in spots, I'm afraid. Apart from a few songs, not a fan of The Doors, Zeppelin or Pink Floyd save the Syd Barrett era and while I do love the Stones, I wouldn't put them ahead of The Kinks or The Who or several other bands for that matter.

Its a miracle that "notorious" was finished, and an even bigger miracle that it was one of the best Byrds albums ever made.

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

Don't worry about being rude -- but Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman would disagree with your opinion about Gram!

Man, that boxset is insane. I love it. I've been reading a Barney Hoskyns book about the scene (Hotel California, which seems to posit all was cool until David Crosby stopped sharing his cocaine and The Eagles showed up) too and connecting the dots - Judee Sill, Joni, The Byrds and assorted branches, Little Feat, Randy Newman, VDP....So much good stuff. Although I'm worried it'll get me listening to The Eagles.  LOL
