#180 Love, 'Forever Changes' (1967)

Another drastic drop. To be honest, I felt this album was ranked too high last time and this feels more right. I had never heard of Love before I did the last countdown. Firstly, upon my second listen today, I strongly recommend listening to this one in headphones. On my second listen I’m hearing so many things that I hadn’t earlier today. The album was released during the Summer Of Love. Ironically, despite its release date and the name of the band, bandleader, Arthur Lee didn’t subscribe to the idea of Flower Power at all. Lee was convinced he was about to die and these were his parting words.
