The Best Years Of Music: 1965, 1966, 1967, 1969, 1968 -- Rolling Stone

The best thing about the article on KOG over at SeekingAlpha today was the embedded graph which included the ranking by year of the "Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time."

I have long maintained that 1969 was the best year for music. I wasn't far off. The year 1969 had more "greatest songs of all time" than any other year, except for three that immediately preceded it (the exception was 1968, which was #5, which barely beat 1964).
