The Greatest Music
S.F. Sorrow
The 492nd greatest album of all time
S.F. Sorrow, released in 1968 by The Pretty Things, is a psychedelic rock concept album that follows the life and trials of its titular protagonist. Musically it blends acid-tinged guitar work, melodic baroque-pop arrangements, Mellotron and orchestral touches, and studio experimentation to create a cinematic, often melancholic atmosphere. The album is frequently cited as an early example of a rock record built around a continuous narrative and is notable for its ambitious songwriting and atmospheric production.
