(Also, Honorary Mention to Simon & Garfunkel, who spent '69 recording Bridge over Troubled Water, but missed Sly's deadline because the album wasn't released until 26 days into the next year.)

2. John Fahey -The Yellow Princess
3. Pentangle - Basket of Light
4. Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
5. Nick Drake -Five Leaves Left
6. Captain Beefheart - Tout Mask Replica
7. Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline
8. Original London Cast - Hair
9. Wendy* Carlos - The Well-Tempered Synthesizer (* known as Walter '69 )
10. Quintessence - In Blissful Company

Albums I discovered later in life:-

1. Boz Scaggs - Boz Scaggs
2. Miles Davis - In A Silent Way
3. Isaac Hayes - Hot Buttered Soul
4. Neil Young - Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
5. Kevin Ayers - Joy Of A Toy
