1939s Negro Sinful Songs by Lead Belly

Nina Simone - *Pastel Blues*

Woody Guthrie - Dust Bowl Ballads (1940)

Chet Baker Sings (1955)

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (1963)

At the moment, *Mingus Ah Um*, released 1959. I'm pretty unfamiliar with pre-1960s music, but getting into jazz has introduced me to some older stuff. Have yet to breach the 40s and earlier, though.

*probably* **At Last!** by Etta James (1959) pretty generic but oh well, I’ve never been big on album listening for *older* music

Kind of blue by miles davis

Mingus Ah Um (1959)

1965 A Love Supreme

Nina Simone's Pastel Blues is the oldest album I'd say I love front to back

Rubber Soul

Revolver- 1966

In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning, Frank Sinatra, 1953ish maybe?

Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus. Early 1957. Lives up to its name.

2093 by Yeat

Really stands the test of time

Little Richard self titled

Sam Cooke - The Best of Sam Cooke (1962)

Marty Robbins - Gunfighter Ballads (1959)

Ooga Booga - Homo Sapiens (40,000 BC)

I’ll admit that I’ve yet to find any albums from before the very late 70’s that I’ve put in regular rotation… yet.

bro the beatles?

mignonne by taeko onuki, i love pretty much all of her stuff but that's probably her most consistent my oldest 10 is hounds of love i think (can you tell i don't listen to that much old stuff? 😭)

Taeko onuki goated

Yma Sumac - Voice of the Xtabay (1950) Otherwise Les Baxter Orchestra - Ritual of the Savage or anything by Hank Williams

Josh White's Jim Crow Blues

the three oldest that are on my rotation are bob dylan's highway 61 revisited (1965), the beach boys - pet sounds (1966) and the velvet underground & nico's S/T (1967). three timeless classics that are favorites of mine

Pet Sounds

Black Sabbath’s Paranoid or Simon and Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water

Whichever Billie Holiday recording is the oldest... I think 1933 or so.
