Music is a rapidly changing beast and most of us have our preferences. You also notice that as you get older you find yourself often tied to the music you loved in your teenage years. New music just does not cut it!

As you can see the 1960's was a very interesting year for music. The Billboard chart's started in the 50's and it took until the last half of the 1960's for non-musical related albums to start becoming popular. The outh really started to rule and it's great to see it charted in music.
I was born in 1981, the number one album that year was Kim Carnes with Bette Davis Eyes. I be honest I have no idea what this is!!
