Top 61 Music Albums of the 1960s
by 
Robert Anton Wilson 
You know how the saying goes: If you remember the 60s, you were not really there.
I have done the run around of my 60s favorite rock/pop/blues albums and this is what is sounds like. The other 40 positions will likely be held by jazz albums which I have never bothered to rank within themselves and even else in comparison to rock albums. So the next step will likely be to list my favorite top 40 jazz albums from the 60s, to rank them, and then, as a last step, to do an integrated all chart ranking. I expect this to be done by the time the cylons take over.
