1 vote- The Byrds- Mr. Tamborine Man
This is the Byrds debut album, in which Roger McGuinn whipped out his 12 string Rickenbacker guitar and basically created folk rock. If you want to know where Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers got their sound and inspiration, it’s right here: it still sounds fresh after all these years: their covers of the title track, “Chimes of Freedom”, “The Bells of Rhymney” “Spanish Harlem Incident”, and the original “Feel A Whole Lot Better” are all definitive. Love love love the sound of this record.
