Far Out Magazine has put together a list of ten albums from the 1960s that the writers believe deserved to top the charts but were largely overlooked at the time. The piece argues that although the decade produced huge commercial successes, several genuinely excellent records were too experimental or ahead of their time to find a wide audience, and it aims to give these overlooked works belated recognition.

Among the albums highlighted are 13th Floor Elevators' "Easter Everywhere", praised for pioneering a psychedelic sound before the genre was properly defined; T Rex's "My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair… But Now They're Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows", noted for its gentler pre-glam rock style; and Lazy Smoke's "Corridor of Faces", which drew comparisons to the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper-era sound while still standing as its own distinct work. The article also references Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson discussing Led Zeppelin's influence on progressive rock, suggesting further entries explore similar cross-genre influences, though the full list extends beyond the albums detailed here.
