My top ten albums for the Sixties aee very good. Not Nineties good, but probably better than the Seventies and Eighties. The Sixties was interesting because the early years were still singles dominant, but the second half was marked by the concept album, rock operas, garage rock, psychedelic rock, prog rock, hard bop and festivals. Music took a huge creative leap in the Sixties, much like the Space Program putting a man on the Moon by 1969. No band exemplified this more than The Beatles. But how will they fare on my list? Let's find out.
1) Odessey and Oracle
2) My Generation
3) Abbey Road
4) Revolver
5) The Doors
6) Nefertiti
7) A Love Supreme
8) Are You Experienced
9) The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society
10) I've Got a Tiger By the Tail
This list might be better than the Nineties. It's hard to say because it's more diverse. The Nineties doesn't have two jazz albums and a country record. Every album on this list is 5 stars. And I didn't even have Pet Sounds, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan or Simon and Garfunkel. Great decade! Peace.
