The Doors achieved national prominence after signing with Elektra Records in 1967 and releasing their self-titled debut album which became one of the best-selling debut albums of all time. The album spawned the number-one hit “Light My Fire” and established the band as one of the leading acts of the psychedelic rock music scene of the 1960s.

Following its release, Are You Experienced spent 33 weeks on Billboard’s Best Selling Pop LPs chart, including eight weeks at number one, and has been awarded five times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.

It was met with a highly enthusiastic critical response and topped record charts in several countries, eventually selling more than two million copies worldwide.

The Who – Tommy

Tommy is the fourth studio album by the English rock band The Who, a double album first released in May 1969. Decca Records in the UK and MCA Records in the US issued it as a stereo recording and as an quadruple album set, considered one of rock music’s first box sets. A expanded re-release appeared in 1972 as a triple LP and as a quadraphonic release on 8-track tape and Q8 cartridge. It was reissued again for compact disc in 1993, 1996 (as part of the remastering series), 2002 (briefly) and most recently in 2012 as a deluxe edition.

The album was mostly composed by guitarist Pete Townshend as a rock opera about a “deaf, dumb, and blind boy” who becomes a pinball champion and pop star. The story is based on Townshend’s experience of obsessively staring at objects for long periods to cope with his struggles with hearing loss from tinnitus (ringing in the ears). The record was The Who’s firstadel bottom workstation release that failed to reach number one on the Record Retailer chart in Britain, reaching number two instead. In its home country Canada, Tommy reached number one on RPM magazine’s national albums chart. In 2003, Rolling Stone named Tommy the seventeenth greatest album of all time; it also ranked second on Classic Rock magazine’s list of Greatest Albums Ever Made and was voted #86 on VH1’s 100 Greatest Albums of All Time.[1][2] In 2004, it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for “historical, artistic and significant” value;[3][4] that same year it received multiple nominations at both the Ivor Novello Awards[5] and Q magazine Awards.[6] It won Best British Album at the latter ceremony.

Their style drew from a wide variety of influences, including the blues rock of Cream and Jimi Hendrix, the floaty folk-rock of Donovan and Fairport Convention’s Liege & Lief…

Black Sabbath – Paranoid

Black Sabbath’s second album, Paranoid, was released in September of 1970. The album was an immediate success, reaching the top of the UK charts and hitting #4 on the US Billboard 200. The album’s namesake single, “Paranoid,” quickly became a metal classic and is still one of the band’s most popular songs.

The album as a whole is considered to be one of the most influential metal albums ever released, and it has been cited as a major influence by numerous metal and rock bands. Paranoid is also notable for being one of the first metal albums to achieve widespread commercial success.
