Best Rock Albums 1960

And of we go into the wonderful decade of the 1960s. Our first article in our Best Albums of the 1960s series will look at the opening year of the decade. The concept of the rock album as we know it was still developing at the time. Many of the well known rock and roll acts released more singles than they did albums. Singles were still more popular than the album format across the board in rock and roll and pop music. There were of course exceptions and many of those were found in the jazz world. The genre of jazz was very popular in 1960. John Coltrane released his masterpiece Giant Steps album. Bill Evans released one of the greatest jazz albums of all time with Portrait in Jazz. Miles Davis released Sketches Of Spain. These were big selling albums and we cant ignore the popularity of this music when looking back at the year 1960. We are not going to include them on the list because its a best rock albums list as opposed to just a best albums list.
