The 60 Best Albums of the 1960s (Paste, 2012)

A message from Springfield: we want The Beatles on Spotify.
From Paste:
If music as we know it today is our universe, the 1960s are the Big Bang. Of course, nothing exists in a vacuum, and many of the groundbreaking artists who rose to prominence in the decade borrowed heavily from the artists who came before them, but looking back, there’s no denying the ‘60s were some sort of scary, beautiful explosion of sound. All of a sudden, there were screaming girls, weeping and tearing their clothes off as they watched their teen idols perform. Black kids and white kids started listening to the same records—a tiny sliver of common ground for future generations to build upon as the battle for equality raged on. As the Vietnam War escalated and a nation tuned in, turned on and dropped out, the protest song became an important part of American life. In other words, the ‘60s produced some of the greatest records of all time, but beyond that, it’s the decade taught us what music could—and should—truly be.
There's always a bit of frustration in making a Spotify playlist based on a 1960s chart. You know that the Beatles will be in the chart and that - since their unavailability on Spotify - you won't be able to include them in the playlist. This happened again with this Top 60 Albums from the 60s. No Sgt.Pepper's, no Revolver, no Abbey Road. Luckily, Paste editors decided to put a "three albums per artist" limit at the list. Beatles aside, most other albums are available on Spotify, making this playlist rather complete and definitely agreeable. In both formulas: full albums for encyclopedians, 3-track-each-album for shuffle-lovers.

Enjoy!
