quite possibly the best of its ilk. All of Norm's charts are ace but the man has a true affinity for the best this decade has to offer

Im guilty of not listening to nearly enough albums from the 60's. Will definitely be using this chart going forward though.

[RoundTheBend]

Very good aesthetic.

[LimpLimbs]

The Beatles belong under the Top 10!
!
However, The Beach Boys at first is also an opportunity...

[Norman Bates]

Thank you very much for all the kind words, friends. Love y'all, and your 60s charts too.
