- Among the many upheavals of the era, the 1960s saw pop music and youth culture achieve a level of influence that may have seemed impossible during the sock-hop era that led into the decade. Here are the top 10 albums of the 1960s.

I swear I see the same 20 people on every music related video.
Bandstand it do be like that
You're one of them
Look who’s talking.

It is impossible to make a list about the 1960s without committing injustice.
Let alone a top mf 10
The velvet Underground deserve that spot it’s a great album
Yeah sorry but sgt pepper is definitely better
Okami Sumo no. Just because YOU like it better DOESNT mean it should be number one. TVU did something nobody did before and inspired tons of generations. Sgt pepper is a good album and personally not my favorite beatles album and it’s not even on this list so Pipe down.
Okami Sumo revolver is better than sgt pepper
@@elstonngunn4193 Definitely
I still like revolver but what sgt pepper did to music can't be understate but I don't mean velvet was bad it is one of the best albums of 60s but I don't think it is the best
1. Revolver
2. In the Court of the Crimson King
3. Abbey Road
4. Blonde On Blonde
5. Velvet Underground and Nico
6. Pet Sounds
7. A Love Supreme
8. The White Album
9. Electric Ladyland
10. Odes dry and Oracle
Do give your thoughts on this one:

Good number 1 pick, but Abbey Road, The Doors, Piper at the Gates of Dawn and In the Court of the Crimson King should be in there.
I agree! Court should definitely be first place and Piper second. The Doors S/T definitely deserves a place too. Don't know about Abbey Road, but for sure Revolver definitely deserves to be on the list and also deserves to be above their S/T album as it's the Beatles' best. I'm glad that A Love Supreme made the list.
How the hell could I forget! Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica, one of the greatest albums of all time, didn't make the list!
@@cooldude123817
It's on there. It's at the website
60s is so hard to choose, but I would say sgt pepper was the best album of 60s. not necessarily my favourite beatles album though.

Glad to see The Velvet Underground & Nico where it belongs.
thanks
Carlos M. Overrated album. Pobably the most important album ever but TVU was there masterpiece. TVU&N is great but a good 3rd of the songs have aged poorly
Leon Connelly Yeah songs like Run run run did, but you still have unique songs like Venus In Furs, witch sounds ancient, out of time and magical, still an untouchable masterpiece, and there are a few other songs on this record of the same or higher value.
Carlos M. Agreed!! Extremely underrated
LOVED seeing them top the list! Really didn’t expect that, but pleasantly surprised.
no zeppelin, no piper at the gates of dawn, no doors, no jimi hendrix? eh well at least pet sounds was close to #1
Have you met Pitchfork?
This is the 1960s. Piper of the gates of dawn is a good album but it's hardly top 10 of the 60s.
Your in the wrong place if you think any Led Zeppelin album from the 60s should be on here
well put
Jimi should be on here, maaaaybe The Doors. I love Led Zeppelin but I don't think they should be top ten just because they're very popular. Their work is largely grabbed from the work of other artists. Great to listen to, but not particularly 'innovative'.
I would have loved to see Love's 'Forever Changes' and/or The Zombies 'Odyssey & Oracle'
defmay no way Aretha Franklin or James Brown should have been on the list over those artists
Great choices, my man. I agree!
there's too many amazing albums of the 60's to cram into a 3 minute long top 10 list
Leon Connelly - This is why I suspect that there was more focus on artists & genres than actual albums.
Live At The Apollo is arguably the greatest live album of all time... how exactly does it not deserve to be here?
Astral Weeks should be on the list
Albin Lundholm it is,read the whole article.
I'd put Abbey Road above these two Beatles records (Rubber Soul as well). VU is a worthy Number one FOR SURE, but I'd rather see Brian Wilson on top.
Niko Kääpä Abbey Road is shit. By far there worst album. Its so dull and it created 70's arena rock which was the biggest cancer ever in music
Thanks for sharing your opinion! I disagree passionately. In my opinion, they really went for it songwriting-wise and went out with a bang. "Come Together", Oh! Darling", "Here Comes The Sun", "I Want You She's So Heavy" and the medley are classics and sure highlights in their discography. There is not one dud apart from maybe "Maxwell's Silver Hammer", which I still have a soft spot for.
By far their worst album? Including everything up to "A Hard Days Night"? Truly a weird opinion. Sorry.
Niko Kääpä hey don't dis their early stuff. It's awesome and has arguably aged better than any of their later, more ambitious work except the indomitable Rubber Soul.
Niko Kääpä I admit it, I dislike most of Abbey Road. It doesn't sound...alive ? I don't know, I just can FEEL that things were not going well between them. It sounds cold and kind of depressing in a way. Also I don't really like the medley... I love Come Together, Something, Oh Darling, Octopus's Garden (yes...a lot), I want you, Here comes the sun, Because and The End. So... Most of side A and three from side B. While my opinion may be unoriginal, I love Sgt Pepper A LOT. Like, I listen to the whole album everyday and feeling truly HAPPY. Same for Rubber Soul, Revolver and Magical Mystery Tour. I have troubles finding flaws in those ones!!
Their earlier stuff is nice. A bit boring and repetitive, not that diverse. The White Album has some of the best Beatles songs...and some of the worst... It also really feels cold and all that... My opinion is all about feeling. The last albums make me uncomfortable. Same for Let it Be which doesn't even sound like an album made by a band...
If a band is worthy of a number 1 then why do want to see another one on top?
The Zombies’s Odyssey and Oracle is such an underrated album
Nah properly rated, it's amazing and everyone knows it's a 60s classic
Missing: Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced, The Beatles - Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (instead of white album). But I definitely agree with first place.
If you check Pitchfork's whole list of the 200 best albums of the 1960s, you will find both Are you experienced and S.P.L.H.C.B., but I do agree with you that Sgt Peppers and the white album should switch places and that Jimi's debut masterpiece should have made the top 10.
Are You Experienced? No Pitchfork, you are not.
Are you talking about how Jimi Hendrix's debut masterpiece wasn't on Pitchfork's Top 10 list albums of the '60s or that they just don't know anything about music?
@@izetyusein3323
It's there....19#
@@izetyusein3323 both
@@itsbeyondme5560 I believe it was number 30 on Pitchfork's 200 best albums of the 60s list.
Cool! I'm going to give these albums a listen!
The Band (1969) needs to be on the list.
Where The Doors at????
_this is the end, beautiful friend..._
number 95
In the shit where it belongs
UOR boi do you not have ears?
Thank you for the video.
Wait someone saying the white album is the best beatles album? FINALLY
The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.
In a sense, the Beatles are emblematic of the status of rock criticism as a whole: too much attention paid to commercial phenomena (be it grunge or U2) and too little to the merits of real musicians. If somebody composes the most divine music but no major label picks him up and sells him around the world, a lot of rock critics will ignore him. If a major label picks up a musician who is as stereotyped as can be but launches her or him worldwide, your average critic will waste rivers of ink on her or him. This is the sad status of rock criticism: rock critics are basically publicists working for major labels, distributors and record stores. They simply highlight what product the music business wants to make money from.
Hopefully, one not-too-distant day, there will be a clear demarcation between a great musician like Tim Buckley, who never sold much, and commercial products like the Beatles. At such a time, rock critics will study their rock history and understand which artists accomplished which musical feat, and which simply exploited it commercially.
Beatles' "Aryan" music removed any trace of black music from rock and roll. It replaced syncopated African rhythm with linear Western melody, and lusty negro attitudes with cute white-kid smiles.
Contemporary musicians never spoke highly of the Beatles, and for good reason. They could never figure out why the Beatles' songs should be regarded more highly than their own. They knew that the Beatles were simply lucky to become a folk phenomenon (thanks to "Beatlemania", which had nothing to do with their musical merits). That phenomenon kept alive interest in their (mediocre) musical endeavours to this day. Nothing else grants the Beatles more attention than, say, the Kinks or the Rolling Stones. There was nothing intrinsically better in the Beatles' music. Ray Davies of the Kinks was certainly a far better songwriter than Lennon & McCartney. The Stones were certainly much more skilled musicians than the 'Fab Four'. And Pete Townshend was a far more accomplished composer, capable of entire operas such as "Tommy" and "Quadrophenia"; not to mention the far greater British musicians who followed them in subsequent decades or the US musicians themselves who initially spearheaded what the Beatles merely later repackaged to the masses.
The Beatles sold a lot of records not because they were the greatest musicians but simply because their music was easy to sell to the masses: it had no difficult content, it had no technical innovations, it had no creative depth. They wrote a bunch of catchy 3-minute ditties and they were photogenic. If somebody had not invented "Beatlemania" in 1963, you would not have wasted five minutes of your time reading these pages about such a trivial band.
Leo Söderlund JESUS FUCKING CHRIST DUDE YOU TYPED A FUCKING ESSAY NO ONE IS GONNA READ BECAUSE YOU FAILED TO READ MY COMMENT WITH ANY LEVEL OF COMPREHENSION! I never said a word about the beatles being the most significant artists or any of the other shit you rambled about for 5000 characters. All i said was the white album was getting ranked higher than it normally does.
Ned Gold It's either that or Revolver for sure
Leo Söderlund How fan you objectively say someone's a better songwriter than someone else? What made the Stones more skilled musicians? The Beatles had a lot more diversity in their ouevre than The Stones.
Ned Gold White Album is probably the best album ever
I’m so excited the velvet underground hit #1. Also not surprised since it’s pitchfork
Having heard all of these albums, along with hundreds more from the 1960s, delving into Jazz and Blues, Soul, Funk, Motown and Stax Soul, Psychedelic Rock, Rock and Roll, Country, Rockabilly, etc., I 100% agree with this list.
I think it's impossible to narrow down the 60's to just 10 albums.
I would argue that Blonde should be at #1.
why Harsh Mehta?
@William Magee You can't do that on ~stage~ Internet anymore. Big Zappa fan though. Absolutely Free, Freakout, Hot Rats, Burnt weeny and One Size fits all are my favourites amongst many more.
Fr Frank's masterpiece
Strange Days.
Surprisingly great list👍
FUCK YEAH NUMBER 1
I totally agree. Best album of all time
Blonde on Blonde should be at number one.
My top 10:
1. Velvet underground and nico
2. Blonde on blonde
3. Abbey road
4. Pet sounds
5. Let it bleed
6. Velvet underground (3)
7. White album
8. Beggard banquet
9. Electric ladyland
10. arthur
No Rolling Stones? (Out Of Our Heads, Beggars Banquet, ...)
The Stones start with Mick Taylor
Daniel Jman fuck those two, Let it Bleed: last great record of the 60's
What a boring ass band
There is no great Rolling Stones album
Daniel Jman this is the best of the 60's and although beggars banquet and let it bleed are significant not as significant as others on this list. In the 70's is Where They shine
I thought it was a very fair list. There was so many great albums in the 60's so obviously there are bound to be some TH-cam commenters that are upset that their favorite 60's album didn't make it in the top 10. I'm glad to see that there was more room for other artists in the top 10 such as Nina Simone and Coltrane instead of just listing all Beatles records. VU & Nico makes a great #1.
Don't no why blonde on blonde beat highway 61 but v & u is rightfully so the best album of the sixties.
More than any other album, I think every person has had that pure 'wow' moment when they first hear it.
'Pet sounds' sounds nice and all, but it doesn't hold a candle to what v and u evokes
Pet sounds evokes plenty, different strokes
When you have you're whole musical brain being displayed by other gifted musicians in the studio and you realize that musical brain is the one who made it all happen, that wow comes out
no Odessey And Oracle?????
Thinking the same thing
Can not tell you how happy I was to see the velvet underground at #1
The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn? The Doors? Forever Changes?
Should have been a top 25 list
Laura Nyro's ''Eli and The Thirteenth Confession'' should be there for many fabulous songs included on the album and influence on several generations of female (and a few male) singer songwriters.
Are you going to do these vids for the best albums of the other decades as well?
Very much a post 2000s perspective. All great albums, but #1 in particular is more important to the following decade than the one it was made in. And thus historical perspectives begin to rewrite the ledger on behalf of those who can no longer speak or be heard.
You can't do a top 10 60's albums, there are so many amazing artists from this decade
from wich songs the harmonics notes in intro came from?
Beatles twice, no captain beefheart. Yep pitchfork
jack C imagine thinking captain beefhart is unironically good
Yes...
#1 trout mask replica. -CB&HMB
#2 velvet underground & nico - TVU
#3 parable of arable land - Red
#4 Piper at the gates of dawn - Pink floyd
#5 The doors- The Doors.
They are their ..rank 60
Great that the Velvets made it to the top
Hey, you guys did a real good job on this. Pretty darn good.
I am so glad the velvets are number one
- Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
- The Beatles “White Album”
- Led Zeppelin
- The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
- The Smile Sessions (Beach Boys)
The fact that there's no Kinks on here is a crime against humanity
Nice video. Pleasantly surpised by the inclusion of miles , coltrane and VU. I have to say i don't thunk that the white album is as good as sgt pepper, but hey hey
Top 10 without any Motown artist is absurd
10. The Moody Blues - Days of Future Past
9. The Pink Floyd (As they were then known) - The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
8. The Beatles - Abbey Road
7. Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced?
6. David Bowie - Space Oddity
5. The Velvet Underground and Nico - The Velvet Underground and Nico
4. The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
3. The Beatles - The White Album
2. King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King
1. The Beatles - Revolver
1. Beatles - Revolver
2. The Band - Music from big pink
3. Beatles - White Album
4. Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
5. Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde
6. Beatles - Sgt. Pepper
7. Beatles - Rubber Soul
8. Beatles - Abbey Road
9. Velvet Underground - Nico
10. The Band - The Band

You can’t have several albums for one band on a list. It kinda goes without saying.
@@maticstudios says who?
To mention all the best albums,this list needs to be top 30 at least
Pretty good but damn no doors
My Top 10:
10- Blonde On Blonde
9- A Love Supreme
8- Are You Experienced
7- Highway 61 Revisited
6- Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
5- In The Court Of The Crimson King
4- The Vu & Nico
3- Pet Sounds
2- Revolver
1- Abbey Road
In the court of the crimson king?
Thank you pichfork thank you pitchfork thank you pitchfork thank you pitchfork thank you pichfork thank you pitchfork thank you pitchfork thank you
James Rocha NO, thank you!!!
NO Thank you Pitchfork. NOT ME
I think you gotta have some Led Zep, Doors, or Hendrix on the list.
No. They are in the list. ..not top ten
Dennis Olivieri's 'Come to the Party' was the best album of the sixties.
look it up
Albums that should no. 2 insted of pet sounds (in my opinion)
Green onions - booker t and the mgs,
The stooges debute,
Any hendrix,
Either self titled or white light white heat by velvet underground,
King crimson,
Kick out the jams - mc5,
Songs of leonard cohen,
Johnny cash at folsom,
And any ravi shankar, mingus, or otis redding
Blonde on Blonde is where it's at. The Velvet Underground and Nico is probably the most innovative album of the 1960's, but come on, it's not the best. Also, what's up with no Jimi Hendrix Album?
Surprised for not having the classic top 1 Sgt. Pepper's
Krautrock exists too! Lol, is impossible to narrow a list like this to just ten
No Hendeix, Zep, Who, Stones, Cream, Blind Faith....nice job.....nice.....job...
1. Rubber Soul
2. A Hard Day's Night
3. Help
4. Sgt Pepper's
5. Abbey Road
6. Revolver
7. The Beatles (White Album)
8. Beatles for Sale
9. Please Please Me
10. Let it Be
would replace let it be with magical mystery tour
No.1 is kind of a no-brainer - especially for Pitchfork.
Blonde on blonde over highway 61 revisited? Cmon man
I would love to say something that's wonderful it's 69 years of age I was a musician and I love music so much that I just want to know why it just doesn't do everything that anyone could be in their life sound feeling and talent I think it's still out there tell me that I'm right or tell me I'm wrong just play the music
pet sounds at number 2 lol
I personally prefer "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" over "The White Album". Don't get me wrong, I do love The White Album, but it's tracklist is over-saturated with filler tracks like "Wild Honey Pie" and "Why Don't We Do It In The Road". I still think these are fine tracks on their own, but they do make the album drag on for far too long for my taste. Anyways, here's my list:1. Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 2. Pet Sounds 3. Court of The Crimson King 4. Their Satanic Majesties Request 5. Odyssey and Oracle 6.BeeGees 1st 7. Are You Experienced? 8.The Notorious Byrd Brothers 9.Butterfly 10.Days of Future Passed
The Dave Clark Five Return
Best list ever! Velvet Underground is my favorite band, and for countless explanable and unexplainable reasons. It's the most influental album ever, one of the most groundbreaking and important records ever, influencing many other artists I love, like David Bowie, Pixies, Joy Division, Sonic Youth, Talking Heads, R.E.M. The Stooges, The Modern Lovers, Patti Smith, The Smiths, Suicide, The New York Dolls, Pere Ubu, My Bloody Valentine, Young Marble Giants, Glenn Branca, Television, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, The Strokes, Sex Pistols, The Cure, The Fall, Throbbing Gristle, Slint, etc.
My dad approved this video
Good list but I would have Revolver higher.
No 'The Court of the Crimson King'?
pet sounds should be #1 uhhhh
No Crimson King?
YES, white album and blonde on blonde top under revolver
Nice to see The Beatles not top this list
Lol still like 2 albums on the list...
And? I'm not arguing The Beatles shouldn't be here, i just don't want another boring list that chooses the obvious.
James Marlon why is the obvious boring?? Why is there a need to make a list if every single person that reads it is gonna have a different version of a number one record? Why am I so hungry?
Whats the point in putting up a list if it's same as the status quo? If someone says "my favourite record is Ok Computer, Wish You Were Here, Sgt Pepper etc" you can't really argue against em cause they're good shit, but it's still predictable and expected which makes for a less interesting conversation.
James Marlon an all time list fluctuates because you have new shit coming out. The 60s have been over for more that 40 years. The music is in its own time capsule and those records won't ever change musically. The only thing that changes is the people who listen to it, which is younger people. From that perspective I can see why a 60s list would change. Again I don't disagree In making new lists there's always gonna be a never ending discussion about what's the best
I missed the doors and king crimson
my number fucking 1
the piper at the gates of dawn
Where was in the court of the crimson king?
What happened with the stones?
SF Sorrow - The Pretty Things.
Forever Changes - Love
I like White Light White Heat more than the debut. I am one of those people
The problem is that there is a typo in this vid’s title. It should read: Top 10 Albums of the 1960s...for the editors at Pitchfork. This reads this reads like someone trying hard not to look like they are trying hard. No Floyd, Zep, Cream, Stones, Dusty Springfield, CSN, Byrds, Jobim, Muddy at Newport? No Sly, Zappa, Kinks, Simon and Garfunkel? And since you have Jazz, why not country, classical, blue grass, musicals?
Seriously, love the Velvet Underground and am often meh to the Beatles but the Beatles’ influence on pop culture is just too significant.
Switch pet sounds and tvu&n and you have a perfect list
1. Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music, Ray Charles
Minimalist isn't the word that comes to mind when I think of The White Album tbh.
A DAY IN THE LIFE!!??!?!
Needs more rock
What's playing at 0:19?
Dear Prudence by the Beatles (from the white album)
Not entirely my top 10 (I mean I'd be scared if it was beat for beat the same xD) But i can get behind this. :)
For me though, id have kept the top 6 the same then added...
7. The Doors
8. In the Court of the Crimson King
9. The Incredible String Band - The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter
10. Led Zeppelin II
If you're going to rate these based on how ***important*** they were, then where is, among other albums vital to the development of more complex/"progressive" rock, King Crimson's debut album? And why do The Beatles appear on here twice?
You Forgot one BIG one that is VERY essential to the 60's: Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix!!! You cant talk about 60's music without talking about Hendrix!!!
They just did
All good but Sgt. Pepper should be on top of the list!
Sgt Pepper is overhyped shit. Psychedelia was done better and earlier by tons of other bands who happen to be less popular than the Beatles. Besides the first two tracks and the last track, the songwriting is sub par and the subject matter is childishly indulgent. Only kids brainwashed by Rolling Stone magazine and baby boomers with zero taste would rate it #1. Every album on this list is 10x better.
WHERE IS ASTRAL WEEKS WHERE IS ASTRAL WEEKS WHERE IS ASTRAL WEEKS
Surrealistic Pillow at 187
The Piper at the Gates of Dawn at 120
The Doors at 95
Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone with 2 albums EACH in the top 30. Was it really necessary or did they just get the "strong black womyn" bonus points?
greyankle the doors should be higher as well as piper and yea I'm sure there's black women points given at the end of the quarter.
This isn't 'Top 10 ROCK albums', it's albums overall. Sorry you hate blues and jazz. Also I don't see you complaining about The Beatles.
Faltó el *THE PIPER GATES AT THE DAWN*
That's why these top ten decade list, should be separated by genres. Cause then people will start bitching about how, they favorite Metal, Country or RNB albums weren't on the list.
10. The Velvet Underground and Nico
9. Led Zeppelin I
8. Rubber Soul
7. Disraeli Gears
6. Abbey Road
5. Highway 61 Revisited
4. Sgt. Peppers
3. Pet Sounds
2. Revolver
1. In the Court of the Crimson King
Ray Petree
One album per artist goes without saying on lists like these.
@@maticstudios the beatles should always be number 1 though
Ok but in the court of the crimson king should be the first one
Where is "Are You Experienced?"
