I used to have a copy of the first Bowie--pretty good stuff, but nothing compared to the next two. I'm going to include "Please Mr. Gravedigger" on my Halloween playlist.

1967 is one of the best years of all time; I've only not heard / not heard of 2 or 3 artists on that list. If you were to zap these albums out of existence, music today would be completely different--with the exception of "Kites Are Fun." I'm blessed to have lived this long and not heard The Free Design. Truly horrid; I think whoever made this list must have had a relative in the band. I'm pouring bleach in my ears as I type.

Imo, the worst not-bad album on the list is "Little Games" by the Yardbirds. It's okay, but a tremendous letdown after "Over Under Sideways Down" from 1966--same kind of problems as your worst pick from '66.
