1966 was the greatest year for pop and rock music.
>>131313277the last year where rock still kind of sounded like the 50s as psychedelia really took over next year.
>>131313277>no Animals or Troggs
>>131313277agreed
the first Airplane album when they were a generic bar/blues band and there was no Grace Slick
>>131313277The year LSD was added to the Federal controlled substances list.
>>131313434When we said it was the greatest year for pop and rock music, we didn't mean you, Steve. Go away.
Yeah
>>131313277Paul Revere and the Raiders
>>131313277if you have to pad out the list out with a yardbirds album it wasn't
>>131313511The Yardbirds were one of the most original and innovative bands of the 60s.
>>131313511?
>>131313453>>131313434Mainstream 60s pop was really gunning for the rich supper club audience who drink bad overpriced mixed drinks.
>released in 1966i still cant believe this isnt a late 70s cbgb scene album, ahead of the curve alongside pet sounds and freak out
>>131313277There's a certain contingent of hipsters, especially Gen Xer hipsters who make it a sport to hate all 60s music except the Velvet Underground and Stooges S/T.
>>131313560a lot different vibe from the 50s, housewife pop mostly stopped being a thing in the 60s other than maybe Trini Lopez
>>131313434>track 6I'm staying with BB King, thank you very much.
>>131313545all you need is a good comp from them though. that album is like half filler
>>131313522This was after she moved from Liberty to Imperial and forgot how to rock.
>>131313610first year album sales in the US exceeded singles sales was '68
>>131313609I think the big problem with Lawrence and wifey was that neither of them sang in a live band before beginning their recording careers so they had no swing or rhythmic sense at all. Tony Bennett kind of had the same issue.
>>131313621ok so? it's still a bad album as a whole no matter what excuses you can make. the fact that bands were only just barely starting to make enough good music to make good albums kind of proves it wasn't the best year.>>131313618i just re listened to this for the first time in years. genuinely unlistenable
>>131313610>that album is like half fillerI don't say this often because it's overused, but you genuinely got filtered.
>>13131330066 psychedelia is less dated than 67 psychedelia which was full of le ironic nursery rhyme shit and half assed marching band shit (if they actually commited to the marching band thing it would have been cool, looking at you Shittles, Sgt. Peppers is LAZY and ridiculously overrated).
>>131313277all of that is shitty uncslop and aged horribly
>>131313565It's good and ahead of it's time but >cbgb scene album Nah, the organ dates it a lot
>>131314447Post your favorite albums.
>>131313277nigga pls
>>13131744466 still better
>>131313277Based.1966 was the year the cheesiness of the 50s died and real music was born. It’s hard to believe Revolver came out just a year after Help.
>>131317444Jazz from 1966 was better than that fusion crap
>>131317472>1966 was the year the cheesiness of the 50s died andif you mean Mitch Miller slop, that was killed off with the late 50s recession
>>131317502I mean listen to this. It WAS the big hit in '65.by 1966, songs like this had disappeared, and creative pop and rock emerged in their place.https://youtu.be/3TPYmeSqLjc
>>131317519That's entirely typical 60s R&B and sounds nothing like anything from the 50s, nor is it even particularly cheesy. The stuff from the 50s was way cheesier.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWlK2XEqL0M
>>131317547he must mean early 60s R&B like "Please Mr. Postman" because by 65 that dry Motown sound had taken over
>>131317444in 69 everything had that dark, dry country rock vibe
>>131314447whenever you see a post like this, you can be sure it was written by an unc desperate to stay young and relevant15yo kids all listen to old shit
>>131317633The early 60s still had very cheesy hits but was distinct from the 50s and had its own vibe to it.
>>131314435Cuckgau's "100 Best Albums of 1967" list was written ten years later and he admitted that many of those albums didn't hold up.
>>131317838lol this
68-70 had a blistering intensity that rock never pulled off again.
i was gonna post something fun but this shitty antispam filter doesnt like fun. i love bob dylan
>>131313522The thumbnail looks like she's holding a soccer ball.
Love also put out TWO albums in 66
