The Songfactors' Choice: Top Albums of the Decade - The '60'

[Viaene 0]

This top 40 is awesome

Reflects the general historic consensus so no complaints from me.

I'm glad to see both my noms make it in something. And I agree that the Band is very nice (and deserving) inclusion.

Are we doing the other 3 decades as well in the future?

[Lucky 5]

^^ That's the plan. I'm wondering if we want to continue in order, or mix them up with other topics?

I was out of town for a few days .....

1. Rubber Soul - The Beatles (1965)

2. Are You Experienced - The Jimi Hendrix Experience (1967)

3. Tommy - The Who (1969)

4. Led Zeppelin II - Led Zeppelin (1969)

5. The Doors - The Doors (1967)

6. Let It Bleed - The Rolling Stones (1969)

7. Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan (1965)

8. Beggars Banquet - Rolling Stones (1968)

9. Crosby, Stills & Nash - Crosby, Stills & Nash (1969)

10.Band, The - The Band (1969)

You couldn't ask for a better list. Adding any of the ones I miss (and there are lots) would mean removing oneof these. Congrats to us on a job well done.

I just looked at it and I only noticed about the Dylan covers... but I guess you might know about that, there are no original Dylan tracks on youtube right now...

Technically, Sgt Peppers should have won the tie-breaker with The Band at #10.

When numbers are tied, then it's amount of people voted, which was also tied at 8. Then it's highest peak on any personal list. Peppers peaked at #1 on one list and Band peaked at #3 on somebody's list.

[Carl 21]

Wow, Dylan and Hendrix pretty much vanished from YouTube. They've been replaced with album covers - thanks Edna.

[edna 6]

At least we have the three Hendrix videos...

On my list I have 9 people who voted for The Band and 7 for Sgt. Pepper?

[Wyld Card 5]

Okay, you're right. I miscounted

twice
