True enough. I was noticing how many of my favorite albums of the '60s came out in 1969, and that plays into it even further. The decade began as a singles one and ended as an album one. The Beatles obviously pushed that direction, though others followed suit. Meanwhile there were so many great garage bands who really could only scrape up the money for a '45 and so put everything into those two 4 minute bursts energy wise that the people with real backing and popularity put into 45 minute LPs.
