The guy gets it. 1966 is really the year album oriented rock came into existence. Pet Sounds and Revolver are right behind Pepper in Rolling Stones top 3 albums of all time.Fishpo31 said:Tough choices...66 has too many of my top cuts to deny
In doing research (because I’m bored), I found a list with the top 4 being
Rolling Stones - Aftermath (British edition for me, Out of Time was a revelation with marimba)
Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Beatles - Revolver
Dylan - Blonde on Blonde
Plus albums by...
Willie Nelson
Ray Charles
The Kinks
Cream
The Sonics
45 singles were the currency pre album orientated rock aka AOR
