It's...The Yardbirds!

Yeah, it's just another generic Yardbirds album pre-Clapton. Nothing special about it, not too sure why it's on this list. Not to say it's a bad album, it's just...again?

Psychedelic, Bluesy, and already done.

The first of Neil Not-So-Young's Album's on this list, this little Album is pretty cozy to sit down and listen to, but eventually degrades into the same sound over and over, which can be very bland to listen to. Young's lyrics hit pretty deep, affecting a young Kurt Cobain, who took lyrics from "My My, Hey Hey" and put it into his suicide note. Apparently, this hit Young pretty hard. Tough shit, I guess.
