You bring up a great point About-The-Home because as I researched this subject I remember thinking the same thing about alot of these albums.
If I was spinning for a sixties night and no one was there to check my facts, I would definitely be playing Janis & Sly & Doors.
rockinjoe - did you notice any suspicious choices here by any chance??? :) ???
These are getting tougher, as I'm still learning your taste. I would nuke Carol King and her snooze festival cousin, Joni Mitchel, and possibly the Ramones self titled album. I was always a huge Ramones fan, but don't think they should have been included in the Top 50. How about the FM Soundtrack? That should be in there, in my opinion.
Just keeping you on your toes, man.
They could be anywhere.
I left Carrot Top on the funniest one for almost a week b4 somebody said something. I was dying.
Ha ha! I missed that! Props to Carrot Top! Get it? Props....

Good Job DJ!!
There you go, DJ. Quite a few of the early 70s stuff so obviously belong with the sixties.
Led Zep,Bowie,Floyd,Doors,Stones,Who,Joni,Sabbath,Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel,Janis Joplin,Carole King, CSN&Y.
All sixties stuff to me!
