Top 100 Music Albums of the 1960s

Hey, it's the decade I was born in, how much can I know? I did have older brothers and sisters and we had a console Stereo smack dab in the middle of our living room. Plus there are a bunch of albums that I went back to at one point or another in my life plus others that I know I would have liked if I was there.

30 picks in common...and my 60s chart is only 50 albums. Looks like this is the place to come if I ever want to consider upping it to 100.

A lot of all the well-known classics, that one can't disagree with, and which I have on my chart aswell, so a great chart, with very little I can disagree with!
