Best albums of the 1960s
Singles paid the bills at the start of the decade and albums did by the end of it. Once a record could hold one idea across two sides, psychedelia and Southern soul both started writing for the longer form, from opposite ends of the country.
According to Riffiter listeners, the best album of the 1960s is Help! by The Beatles, rated 4.6/5 by 16 listeners.
