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.

Albums like this make me wish that I had been a teenager at the time this record was released. The music was so lively and exciting.

There are some great songs on here. Dylan is a noted wodsmith, but I tend to listen to albums for the sound. This is one of a select few albums that I sometimes listen to just for the lyrics.

The Beatles are really beginning to develop with this album. They are certainly experimenting that little bit more.

The Beatles albums always have enough on them to make them worth a listen. They should appeal to everyone.
