RIAA's "Grammy Award Winners for Best Pop Album/Album of the Year"

Add to my lists | Print this list

Awarded since 1967 at which time it was called "Best Contemporary Album", it started as a catch-all category for any new music which wasn’t easy listening, standards singers or jazz. Beginning in 1968 I have assumed that the "Album of the Year" winner constituted the best pop album.

1 album away...Glen Campbell — 3 years ago

Library doesn’t have the Glen Campbell album, won’t do interlibrary loan for it.

Anyone know where I can stream the entire BY THE TIME I GET TO PHOENIX album from him?
