We've now gone through 4 wonderful decades of music, and it's time to dig even further back in our memories to come up with our favorite albums and songs of the 1960s! Don't worry if you didn't participate in the previous polls- I'd love to have as wide of a representation as possible. Feel free to submit ranked lists of up to 200 songs and 200 albums, and I'll post the results after the deadline at midnight, February 1st, 2011 org time! Please submit your lists to ian_renner[at]yahoo.com, replacing the [at] with the @ symbol. Make sure you tell me what your Org username is. I'll reply to your message to let you know that I got your list. I'd prefer to receive lists made in Microsoft Excel with a .xls extension with separate columns for artist, album/song and year.

I'd like to change the artist format guidelines:

I'd appreciate artist names to be submitted this way:

David Bowie (not Bowie, David)
Cure, The (not The Cure) (This is different to previous poll formats!)

Each list must contain at least 10 albums or 10 songs.

One other thing- no compilations!

Feel free to use this thread for recommendations. Last time, most people just posted their lists here and didn't send me an Excel spreadsheet. I will accept these lists, but it takes me a lot more time to compile them.

Bring on those lists!

Poll History:

1970s: Poll, Results

1980s: Poll, Results

1990s: Poll, Results

2000s: Poll, Album Results, Song Results

Here's my woeful album list as it stands.

I kinda dislike it when certain lists get singled out for being uniquely good (it always strikes me as a little act of disregard to others who have gone to the trouble of putting a list together) but that really is an immense and nicely varied list.

Cheers. It was the first list I've done from home, so it's pretty much all culled from my vinyl snd CD collection and took a fraction of the time to compile. I missed out so much from the seventies and eighties.

There are so many my list coming your way Moonbeam.

tentative songs list:

Should have an album list up pretty soon, song list will take longer.

I'm considering an extension.

I can definitely have an album list by Monday.

A comprehensive song list would take me more time to assemble. I wouldn't mind an extension until February 15th. If that's not possible, I can compile a quick top 10 by Monday also.
