Just one single no.1 vote for:
Dusty Springfield - Stay Awhile/I Only Want To Be With You
There was another Dusty Springfield vote but I've just realised that unfortunately it was for A Girl Called Dusty and I've had to drop this from the main list.
Shirley Collins and Davy Graham - Folk Roots, New Routes
No question about it's top spot for me, but not for yous.
The Incredible Jimmy Smith - The Cat
This is some groovy shit that I should have listened to. But I didn't.
The Incredibles - Keep on Pushing
Curiously I can't find this on discogs or rate your music. Powerful soul with tight minimalist arrangements. Better than the Sam Cooke LP if you ask me.
Jan Johansson - Jazz på svenska
Is baroque jazz a thing? It turns out yes. Yes it is. If Anders von Düben the Younger made a jazz album it would sound like this. Personally I'm coming back to this one. Very curious.

16 - Jerry Lee Lewis – "Live" At The Star-Club, Hamburg
From the old footage I've always been aware that Jerry Lee Lewis could really rip it up, but I was never quite sure where to find the recording for it. Turns out this is it.

The cumbia entry of course. Not a genre I know much about but this is blast.

12 - The Yardbirds - The Five Live Yardbirds
One of the British bands that played rock'n'roll too darn fast. But here there's real fire on display. Like they picked up the blues and these American sounds, didn't quite understand them and translated it into something still incredible.

I'm not surprised you can't find it on Discogs or RYM if you were searching for The Incredibles as they're called The Impressions.
11 - Françoise Hardy
Simple arrangements and sometimes bold musical choices and a delicate touch of something powerful. I feel this should be higher, but that's my fault for not voting for it.

9= - The Ronettes – ...Presenting The Fabulous Ronettes Featuring Veronica
Sounds good blasting out of an old radio. For the slow dances. But honestly I find it difficult to listen to this without fast forwarding to Be My Baby which is of course fantastic.

An early samba-jazz outing for Flora Purim. I'm pleased it made it into the top 10 even if I didn't vote for it myself in the end. When it's great it's really great.

Hard edged political (anti-coup) bossa nova. Another one I'm pleased made it into the top 10, and all the more impressive as it was split vote.

7 - Prince Buster - National Ska: Pain In My Belly
I don't know what standing this has in the world of ska, but it sounds amazing to me. A genre I really should know better.

5 - Stan Getz & João Gilberto featuring Antônio Carlos Jobim - Getz/Gilberto
The most breezy and beautiful bossa nova record ever. It had to be up there, even if it doesn't exactly address the political turmoil.

4 - The Supremes - Where Did Our Love Go
Great songs and great performances. But that production! It hasn't aged a day.

We found out later that there's more to Bob Dylan than The Times They Are A-Changin'. I submit - that's a shame.

2 - Herbie Hancock - Empyrean Isles
Another hard bop classic. To be completely honest most of it sounds pretty pedestrian. I don't have enough meh in the world for Cantaloupe Island. But then we get to The Egg. Alright fair enough.

1 - Eric Dolphy - Out to Lunch
Listening back I'd forgotten how great it is in its spidery modernity.

Just getting around to actually listening to this for the first time now, and fuck me, Je n'attends plus personne is great, some proper evil bass going on at some points there.

My fairly short and not-very-well considered list was:
Ronettes - Presenting the Fabulous Ronettes Featuring Veronica
Supremes - Where Did Our Love Go?
Kinks - S/T
Prince Buster and the All Stars - National Ska/I Got A Pain
Sure there's others I would've probably included if I'd listened to more recommendations from this thread though, the Hardy for instance.
