Top 100 Music Albums of the 1960s
by 
ERadio 
I loved making this chart. It gave me a chance to listen to a decade I don't spend a lot of time in anymore (outside of '69), to find some new favorites, and to hear some sweet deep cuts. Comparing my chart to the cumulative '60s chart I've selected a bit more soul, motown, and jazz, 'cuz that's the way I like it...The '60s had some GREAT music - Cheers!

Yes it's true - I enjoy Magical Mystery Tour more than Sgt Pepper's. It's just the way it is.
