Let's start off this topic with this one, my favorite 60s album

The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour
http://991.com/newGallery/The-Beatles-Magical-Mystery-T-343712.jpg

Well known songs from the album:

Strawberry Fileds Forever
Penny Lane
All You Need is Love
Hello Goodbye
The Fool On The Hill
(The first 4 were #1 hits in Cnada)

Simon & Garfunkel
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
Columbia/1966

http://images.uulyrics.com/cover/s/simon-garfunkel/album-parsley-sage-rosemary-and-thyme.jpg

Album: #4 (U.S. Platinum x3)

Singles:

The Dangling Conversation: #25
Scarborough Fair/Canticle: #11

"Bookends" charted higher.  Bridge Over Troubled Water charted higher and sold far more.  But...PSRT is my favorite S&G album!
:)

These three albums came to mind (from my past). One is a 'Best of' but it was still a great album in the late 60's...

The soundtrack to the movie The Sound of Music was released as album in the United Kingdom in 1965. It reached number one in June of that year, and spent a total of 70 weeks at the top over several runs. It was the biggest-selling album in the UK during 1965, 1966 and 1968, and the second biggest-selling of the entire decade.


Track listing

    Prelude / The Sound of Music
    Overture / Preludium (Dixit Dominus)
    Morning Hymn / Alleluia
    Maria
    I Have Confidence
    Sixteen Going on Seventeen
    My Favorite Things

Well, first off, every Beatles album.  This one was probably the most played on the most stations the day it came out.  I remember, I was there.

Rolling Stones - Aftermath (US version)

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41CVKRZCV0L._SL500_AA300_.jpg

Paint it black, Under my thumb, Lady Jane.

The UK version had "Mother's little helper" and "Out of time"

I've always thought these guys were a bit overrated, with a few exceptions (like "around the dial" and "destroyer"), but the revolution sparked by "you really got me" and the popularization of the power chord was a real bellwether in modern rock. i don't even know how or if the album charted, though i'd be shocked if "you really got me" didn't make #1 at some point.
