Top 100 Music Albums of the 1960s
by ihwar2000 
This is a mirror of the toplist from my web site, which is dedicated to rating and comparing albums and artists. To be able to compare albums of different genres I have written my own rating formula, which is based on weighed song ratings. The result is presented as a percentage with two decimal places.
I'm currently reevaluating my entire database of albums with a more thorough rating process, which means that this list is bound to change. I'm of course also always searching for new interesting music.

Great, great chart! Really cool to see 'I Got Dem Kozmic Blues Again Mama' in No. 1, I myself have always thought that was Janis' best album! - Not to mention the additional inclusion of Joan Baez's 'Any Day Now'! Great job!
