60's music

Here are my favorite albums released in the 60's...


1. The Beatles - Beatles(White Album) (1968)



Because its cluttered, weird, all over the place, and has some of the best rock music you'll ever hear.


2. Led Zeppelin - I (1969)



The amazing debut from one of the greatest of all rock bands.

3. Led Zeppelin - II (1969)



One of the greatest guitar albums ever. And drum albums as well. Why don't we just say one of the greatest of all rock albums.

4. The Beatles - Abbey Road (1969)



5. Bob Dylan - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (1963)



Traditionally this is not ranked as Dylan's greatest, but its my favorite. I love love love this album.

6. The Beatles - Revolver (1966)



Yes, another beatles album, and more still to come. This album was their turning point, out of lovey dovey pop songs.

7. Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced (1967)



Hard to pick a favorite hendrix album, but if pressed its this one.

8. The Beatles - Rubber Soul (1965)



another great album by a great great band.

9. The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds (1966)



brian wilson sure as hell can write a catchy love song

11. Simon and Garfunkel - Bookends (1968)



Frances McDormand was right, they do look stoned

12. Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited (1965)
