Top 63 Music Albums of the 1960s by BasdeWit97

These are the best albums of the 60's I've heard, listed as in my best ever albums top 100.

I've not listened to many albums of this decade, so this isn't a very reliable list. The ones I've listened to are all included here, except for the worst that don't deserve a place at all in my chart. (eg. Bob Dylan)

Great chart, predictable, but it is okey considering the decade.

There's much Beatles here, because I've listened to much Beatles. And all albums I've listened from the 60's are included here, ecxept for the worst as I said above.

Most albums by Bob Dylan I've listened to I found rather boring and overrated, although I liked Desire.

You definately get bonus points for the inclusion of Canned Heat & Golden Earing but too much Beatles for my liking. I'm going to ignore the comment about Bob Dylan as I know not everyone gets him but he really is a genius. If you are interested, as a start you should check out artists like The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield & Creedence Clearwater Revival. All great '60's bands IMO.
