Top 100 Music Albums of the 1960s
by craab 
This chart is still under construction. As with all my charts, I see it more as a "my favorites" rather than as a "best of" chart. I realize that in putting the entire Beatles catalog before albums by other artists I am being a bit obnoxious. It's just that, well, their stuff is my favorite!
