- 100 Send Me A Postcard. Dutch psych rockers Shocking Blue would score a US Billboard Hot 100 No.1 with 1970’s ‘Venus’ (covered so memorably by Bananarama 16 years later), but ‘Send Me A Postcard’ is a darker proposition altogether, singer Mariska Veres evoking Julie Driscoll or Jefferson Airplane’s Grace Slick as she hollers over fuzzed guitar and the obligatory swirling organ.
- 99 Ring Of Fire. This paean to the grisly aftermath of an unforgiving curry – or tribute to love’s steamy embrace, whatever you fancy – was written by Johnny Cash’s future wife June Carter with Merle Kilgore, and originally recorded by June’s sister Anita.
- 98 I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night) The opening track on Lenny Kaye’s ‘Nuggets’, his essential compilation of late-60s garage and psych rock, ‘I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night)’ was written by professional songwriting team Annette Tucker and Nancie Mantz but musses up its classic structure with needling, distorted guitar from Ken Williams – recorded backwards – and a growling lead vocal from James Lowe.

- The Velvet Underground: ‘The Velvet Underground & Nico’ (1967) Cooked up in Andy Warhol’s Factory warehouse in New York City, The Velvet Underground’s 1967 debut was a dark counterpoint to hippie idealism, and stands as on of the most influential albums of all time.
- The Beatles: ‘Abbey Road’ (1969) As the final album recorded by The Beatles, Abbey Road found the group on typically groundbreaking form. Not only did guitarist George Harrison come into full bloom as a truly great songwriter (Something, Here Comes The Sun) but drummer Ringo Starr emerged with a charming aquatic ditty (Octopus’s Garden) while John Lennon’s swampy, minimalist rock (Come Together) sat neatly alongside Paul McCartney’s Moog-laced music hall (Maxwell’s Silver Hammer).
- Led Zeppelin: ‘Led Zeppelin II’ (1969) Led Zeppelin’s sophomore outing earns its place as one of the best 60s albums for how the group honed their pioneering blend of blues and hard-rock.
- The Beatles: ‘Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ (1967) No album captured the cultural zeitgeist of the 60s better than Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
