Every album that Jimi did during his tragically short lifetime was a true classic & this is the best.

A great decade chart. 34 albums in common but there are musical differences but that's a good thing. I will definitely explore some of your choices that I have not heard of. (Edited)

Wow. I can tell you know a lot about 60s albums. That's very cool.

"I have to own it." Ironically this is the same rule I have with my charts. The thing is I don't have a big of collection as you obviously. So yes I happen to only have 3 albums from the 60s and they are all Beatles' albums. So giving it a 5/100 and calling it predictable is a bit misconstrued don't you think? Wouldn't it have been better to give me some recommendations?

Hadn't realised that I hadn't picked any pre 65 albums. Weird. No plan to that & as the chart gets towards the 100, there are definately going to be albums from all 10 years but well spotted.

One thing, though: no albums released before 1965? There are some excellent albums which were released in the early '60s.

Great chart!
And I also have this "no compilations" rule on my decade charts, except if they contained music which was directly connected with that decade, or that contained music that had been created in that decade! On my overall chart, though, I do include compilations.
