I like Beefheart's representation in this with Safe as Milk and Trout Mask Replica. The Gilberto Gil choice was great too. Brazil has had some absolutely amazing music that never got the attention it deserved. Other bands/musicians that come to mind include Novos Baianos, Jorge Ben, Chico Buarque. It's a shame that Bossa Nova is really the only Brazilian genre to reach mainstream success in the U.S. Rio de Janerio had an amazing soul scene that I'm just starting to discover too.

Just to knit-pick, I think Highway 61 should have been a bit higher for the '65 albums. I'm a Dylan nut so maybe I'm biased though, I don't know.
