In this list, I calculate the average rating of the top 20 albums of each year since 1968. If you like stats, this list is for you. Keep in mind that the years before 1980 don’t even have 20 eligible albums…
1. 1960s. Average score: 7.897/10. The 60s did not see the birth of metal, but some releases of the decade did influence and inspire the genre a lot, which I guess is why they do appear on the website.
2. -----------------------------
3. Deep Purple - Shades Of Deep Purple
4. King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King
