Just one more Who's searching for A world that ought to be
When the ebbing tide retreats
Along the rocky shoreline
It leaves a trail of tidal pools
In a short-lived galaxy
Each microcosmic planet
A complete society
A simple kind of mirror
To reflect upon our own
All the busy little creatures
Chasing out their destiniesโฆ

Heat of the moment
Curse of the young
Spit out your anger
Don't swallow your tongue
Stick it out
Don't swallow the poison
Spit it out
Don't swallow your pride
Stick it out
Don't swallow your anger
Spit it out
Don't swallow the liesโฆ

Celebrate the moment
As it turns into one more
Another chance at victory
Another chance to score
The measure of the moment
Is a difference of degrees
Just One Little Victory
A spirit breaking free
One Little Victory
The greatest act can be
One Little Victoryโฆ

Feeding on the fires

Drive you when you're down
Dreams transport the ones
Who need to get out of town
Out of townโฆ

I mentioned during the previous polls of 50s and 60s albums that it was my first time listening to Joan Baez's albums. I wasn't going to let this poll get by me without taking the opportunity to listen to this album again.

Please Please Me (1963)

I've voted The Beatles #1 in so many of these polls... That won't be the case this time, but it may make my top five.

Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise
Beating down the multitude and
Scoffing at the wiseโฆ

Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin (1969)
#5debutalbums50s60s
Another one filed under "no-brainer" when it comes to voting for five favorite debut albums from the 50s and 60s. Only Hendrix can keep Zeppelin out of the top spot for me.
Steppenwolf
Steppenwolf (1968)
#5debutalbums50s60s
When I was a kid, I thought of "Born to Be Wild" as the ultimate expression of pure rock and roll, and I still do. I don't hear Steppenwolf much anymore, but this really ranks among the greatest of the early hard rock albums.
Deep Purple
Shades of Deep Purple (1968)

Santana

These early Santana albums, with Greg Rolie on vocals, are phenomenal.
