Good list. And off the top of my head, how about: Buffalo Springfield (eponymous) The Doors (eponymous) Joni Mitchell, "Song to a Seagull" Leonard Cohen, "Songs by" Neil Young (eponymous) Santana (eponymous) Poco, "Pickin' Up the Pieces" Sundays, "Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic" Kennedy Rose, "Hai-Ku" Randy Newman, "Something New Under the Sun" (aka eponymous) Allman Brothers Band (eponymous) Mike Oldfield, "Tubular Bells" ... and that's why 1960s rock is *so cool* ... Gil NP Buffalo Springfield, "Bluebird" (live, extended, off The Missing Herd Volume 1)
