Top 100 Music Albums of the 1960s by 
lancashirearab (2012) 
If an album is in my Top 100 Greatest Music Albums of all time, it will not re-appear in this one. The sixties produced so much great music. Unfortunately my parent's taste in music from the sixties was appalling. Apart from the occasional nod towards the Beatles, I was left to discover the music from this decade on my own. Thank goodness for the music papers.

1. (=) | Trout Mask Replica | Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band | |||||||||||||||||||
| This is probably the most important album ever. Without it so much would not have happened. Where would post-punk be without this album. My record collection would be so different. | |||||||||||||||||||||

2. (=) | Astral Weeks | Van Morrison | |||||||||||||||||||
| I love this album. The musicianship is scary. The songs just sound right. I really wasn't expecting this after hearing one of my mates introduce me to his music with A Sense of Wonder. | |||||||||||||||||||||

3. (=) | White Light/White Heat | The Velvet Underground | |||||||||||||||||||
| This was the Velvet's album I hoped my son would love the most. It is so challenging. Sister Ray gets a lot of deserved praise, but I love I Heard Her Call My Name especially when Cale knocks over the pile of chairs in the studio. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| I have seen Simeon reproduce a lot of this album live. He had a hand-built pile of electronics. It wasn't the original Simeon machine. He tweaked oscillators to make an amzing sound. It was a great night that gave me a clearer insight into how he made this album. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| The following tone is a reference tone recorded at our operating level. I love this album. His voice is just so powerful. I believe it that he could break microphones. | |||||||||||||||||||||

6. (=) | Strange Days | The Doors | |||||||||||||||||||
| I never wanted to be Jim Morrison, but so many of my mates did. Some even bought leather breeks just to be a bit more like him! This is such a great album that I was tempted, but with such short legs, I couldn't get any to fit, thankfully. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| How can a song be so good that it gets a committed atheist to sing "Jesus, help me find my proper place" out loud in the streets of Arbroath? Fantastic album. | |||||||||||||||||||||

10. (=) | Sweet And Dandy | Toots & The Maytals | |||||||||||||||||||
| I recently saw Toots playing the same old songs at a FREE concert in Blackburn. Rain had washed off the free festival in the park, so Toots was moved to the small stage at King George's Hall. What a great night. He played a number of tracks from this, including the title track. | |||||||||||||||||||||
