Pitchfork released another list this morning: Top 200 Greatest Songs of the 60s:
"People always ask: 'When is Pitchfork gonna run a list of the top albums of the 1960s?' The answer today? Probably never. Not that we didn't consider it. It's just that when we sat down to map it all out, we found it would be more rewarding to approach the decade through its songs instead. After all, it was by and large a single-oriented era-- the long-player didn't really take over as a creative medium until the 60s had nearly come to an end. And besides, Revolver's ego is out of hand as it is."
So who knows..... VU & Nico still gets my vote. It's probably the most influential album of the 60's.

Not much support for VU & Nico? dont get it. Sgt peppers is out simply for being rolling stones greatest album of all time.
