underground even if on a major label



I haven't spent much time trying to think up things I would have had on the SPIN Top Alternative Albums of the 60s, but here are a couple from my own record collection I might consider. Going through the list though, and being persuaded to buy more than a couple and stream many more, I think "underground" is how it would have been described at the time. But I guess the thinking here is to show that when the term "alternative" became voguish it was by no means a new phenomenon. Whatever the intention or how closely it was adhered to, it is an excellent list with some good write-ups.
