Top 100 Music Albums of the 1960s by Junomoogmello 
For me, the sixties was the birth of Psychedelia, music of the free and mind expanding and creative albums with amazing cover artwork dominated. Many of the albums below fit into the psychedelic genre and some cross it like the Yes album which sits between the sound of psychedelia and the birth of prog. Listen to the Colours of Your Mind by Dusty Springfield and even this crosses into that psychedelic arena. Psychedelia and prog are just labels, if you listen to an album which has the trademarks of a genre then you decide. Nobody is going to shoot you down for mis-describing something you like, the main thing is that you enjoy the music. In my listing of the albums below, I have categorised how I feel the album sits, mainly as a guide for fellow music lovers, if you disagree, that is fine.

My absolute favourite Airplane album, a Psychedelic masterpiece to lose yourself within. One of my top ten psychedelic albums where you hear more with each listen.

Progressive with Psychedelic leanings. A real chameleon of an album, the first track leans towards to psychedelic, the next track towards jazz and the nextbtrack is a beautiful acoustic type backing to what could be the best Jon Anderson vocals on any album. And so, this theme continues throughout, the interplay between keyboards, guitar and drums on 'Everdays' is stunning, what a first class album.

Psychedelic/Pop. Along with Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon, possibly one of the most iconic album sleeves of all time. Less experimental and psychedelic sounding than Sgt Pepper with the addition of a 'fun' track 'Octopus Garden'. 'I Want You' and 'Sun King' re flythe psychedelic flag. 'Here Comes The Sun'and in fact the whole of side two (vinyl) is excellent, by far the better side.

Progressive. Considered by many to be the album which gave birth to prog, many will argue that honour should fall to Yes- Close To The Edge. Whichever camp you fall into, there is no doubting the importance of this pivotal album.

Being a fan of psychedelic music, I took a chance on buying this album by a band I had never heard of until today. At a local record fair I was drawn to the cover and when I saw Rod Edwards and Roger Hand listed as musicians it sealed my decision. Fans of Psychedelia will not be disappointed by this dreamy and very well produced album. Love the use of numerous instruments which add to the listening experience. Strangely, the other instruments are not credited to anyone? Definitely hearing what sounds like an oboe, flutes, clarinet.
