Pet Sounds - Beach Boys1966 had 3 monster albums, plus some other really great ones. Not quite as much depth as 1967 and beyond, but really the first true year of album oriented rock displacing singles. Pet Sounds, Revolver and Blonde on Blonde at 1a, 1b and 1c for me. I think overall, Revolver, has more depth than Pet Sounds (this album still has some weak, corny tracks) but the highs of Pet Sounds trump those of Revolver.

Revolver - The BeatlesTaxman and And Your Bird Can Sing are my favorite tracks. The openly drug related subject matter in three of John's songs was what really made the album cutting edge and makes it stand apart though. She Said She Said is the funniest, and most accurately representative, description of a typical conversation during an acid trip that I've ever heard.
If Paul hadn't been mostly fagging out with soft artsy shit, and had embraced guitar driven rock like the others were at the time, Revolver would have a way higher place on the all time rock album list. It's up there anyways because the strengths are just that amazing. -

Paul had been fagging out since 1963 (e.g., covering "Till there was you" on With The Beatles). But Revolver is where he really started to get too cute. McCartney is a god damned genius albeit a very flawed one.RaceBannon said:Fuck Paul

And they could barely play instruments. But the Wrecking Crew sure could. Wowza!chuck said:

Pet Sounds is such a fascinating moment in rock history. The Beach Boys had withstood the British Invasion onslaught and basically caught up to the Beatles in the artistic arms race. Good Vibrations (later 1966) trumped anything the Beatles did in the studio pre Pepper. But Brian Wilson was a mentally weak loser carrying a bunch of squares like Mike Love who didn’t want to fuck with the formula. Their artistic and commercial collapse by 1967 is the saddest in rock history.chuck said:

Revolver - The Beatleswell I picked this because it was my favorite Beatles album.
good ones on that list, disappointed no Rod Stewart - he influenced Neil Young -
Aftermath - The Rolling StonesProlly because Paint It Black is my favorite Stones’ song of all time. The darkness and despair in Mick’s voice make this such a great song. The songwriting is literally genius!

The Yardbirds peaks in 1965 and 66 were on par with anyone but overall they just didn’t have depth as songwriters to make great albums w/o a lot of filler.Baseman said:http://youtu.be/YUa0tyND03c

Although Jeff plays on the song, the video appears to be Jimmy Page.Baseman said:http://youtu.be/YUa0tyND03c

Pet Sounds - Beach BoysPet Sounds and Revolver tied up but I think both will earn a spot in the brackets.
