Wow what a great thread, keep them coming! Forgot my favorite Pete Townsend album with small faces alumni Ronnie Lane, "Rough Mix". A real sleeper album at the time , I think I was the only person in our group at the time who had ever heard or listened to it.

Mellow Yellow by Donovan, Traffic - Welcome to the Canteen, Darryl Hall and John Oats- Abandoned Lunchinette, Joe Cocker - Mad Dogs and Englishmen, and a big thumbs up for "Tea for the Tillerman" listened to all of these on a continous rotation.

Laufey; Everything I know about love

Samara Joy;  Linger awhile

Kandace Springs;  The women who raised me

Stunning piece i remember listening for the first time 50 years ago ...

But with Cambridge Choir ... 😊
