The Pretty Things - Parachute (1970)

You know who it sucks to be? You! If you don't have this album, because it's hands down one of the best rock albums ever. But you know who I envy? You! Because you still have this great album to discover.

Beatlesy, Stonesy, tough and sinister, beautiful and tender, trippy and rockin', it's a mystery to me why this is as obscure as it is. I'll be the first to admit that their subsequent output is patchy at best. You only really need to get the previous one, 1968's S.F. Sorrow and this one, and file them right next to whatever other albums you deem to be stone cold classics.
