Top 100 Music Albums of the 1960s
by Junomoogmello 
For me, the sixties was the birth of Psychedelia, music of the free and mind expanding and creative albums with amazing cover artwork dominated. Many of the albums below fit into the psychedelic genre and some cross it like the Yes album which sits between the sound of psychedelia and the birth of prog. Listen to the Colours of Your Mind by Dusty Springfield and even this crosses into that psychedelic arena. Psychedelia and prog are just labels, if you listen to an album which has the trademarks of a genre then you decide. Nobody is going to shoot you down for mis-describing something you like, the main thing is that you enjoy the music. In my listing of the albums below, I have categorised how I feel the album sits, mainly as a guide for fellow music lovers, if you disagree, that is fine.
