1966

The year 1966 is probably the earliest year in pop-rock music to have numerous fantastic albums. There are obviously some great albums made before that, but this year's list has ten fantastic albums. Not all the good albums made it to the list and the whole top six is quite phenomenal. This year sees the birth of psychedelic rock and first exceptional studio productions. The songwriting on these albums is quite extraordinary. There are a lot of folk albums on the list, but also great pop albums. 1966 may remain the last wholly great lists in this blog, since the good albums are getting scarcer as I move onwards to the past. So enjoy this terrific list of albums of 1966.
