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

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.

Are You Experienced surpass Electric Ladyland

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?

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.

Albin Lundholm it is,read the whole article.

Nah properly rated, it's amazing and everyone knows it's a 60s classic

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?

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'.

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.

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.

_this is the end, beautiful friend..._

number 95

In the shit where it belongs

UOR boi do you not have ears?

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

Thinking the same thing

I totally agree. Best album of all time

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

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

Dear Prudence by the Beatles (from the white album)

No. They are in the list. ..not top ten

Chris Serpicø You can’t have several albums for one band on a list. It kinda goes without saying.

@@maticstudios says who?

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

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

James Rocha NO, thank you!!!

NO Thank you Pitchfork. NOT ME

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

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.

Ray Petree One album per artist goes without saying on lists like these.

@@maticstudios the beatles should always be number 1 though

would replace let it be with magical mystery tour
