Top 100 Music Albums of the 1960s
by

If an album is in my Top 100 Greatest Music Albums of all time, it will not re-appear in this one. The sixties produced so much great music. Unfortunately my parent's taste in music from the sixties was appalling. Apart from the occasional nod towards the Beatles, I was left to discover the music from this decade on my own. Thank goodness for the music papers.

What a powerful performance. This one actually got handed to me by my grandad! He usually listened to albums by Andy Stewart or the Clancy Brothers so this was a bit of a surprise.
