Top 100 Music Albums of the 1960s
by mikepen 
Have only just created this chart, so apologies as I haven't actually ranked them as yet, just dumping in those albums/artists that are coming to mind as a "must be in the list" [as at 5th April 2020]
Well quickly added the next 40, dropped a couple, added some "must have" omissions. Reckon this will be my Top 100 for the 60s and now the equally tough challenge, to sort them! [10th April ]
