Dappled's Personal Top Ten


Recommended Posts

Now we dive into the non-traditional album cuts, primarily of the 60's and 70's, from the musical mind of our esteemed Dappled. While reviewing, I thought it interesting that many of his selections highlighted the connection of the early 60's folk music wave to many acts later identified as pop/rock purveyors.

Please listen to the playlist and vote!
