Top 25 Music Albums of the 1960s
by YoungPunk Unknown

a rating of 90 is the cutoff for decade charts

Running Commentary: Apart from lone genius Jimi Hendrix, Country artists from the capitalist U.S.A. made the world's best new music. O.K. So now I have listened to more British music and this is no longer relevant, but I once wrote this. I think it was the underground movement though, cause I'd initially never heard of it...

I think it's so awesome that you have Foggy Mountain Banjo and 2001. I love those too. But they're the only classical and bluegrass banjo albums that I own. Maybe I need to listen to more.
