Another one where it's really hard to decide... I've still to hear Coltrane, Magnetic Fields and Love... Was youtube-ing Dr. Dre yesterday, and it seems decent, but nothing more than that... Other than that, I prefer 1966 singles (on account of that annoying Mambo song), and while I love Agaetis Byrjun, I do still prefer Revolver, and I also slightly prefer the pussy folk of Simon and Garfunkel to the Fiona's sophomore effort. So... Yeah I'm gonna try to hear at least some of the 69 Songs and maybe youtube Coltrane or sth.
Leaning towards 1966, but won't vote just yet...

Truer words have never been spoken. (Also, Shankly, you sure know how to promote this stuff 😉 )

Both teams are great, but '66 is slightly better for me.

Dig the guitar playing in this little gem from Revolver!

And then from McCartney, comes this incredible song about the end of a relationship (Has there ever been a better one?:

But Revolver should really be listened to in its entirety, so here you go:

But I'm not sure in the longrun 🤔

Your singles selection is unbeatable.

Just you wait. We're just getting started with the singles. 😉

Promotion time:

1966 was a seminal year for music. So much was happening. Two years after The Beatles landed in America and US groups responded in a big way. First, you had the folk rock movement, started by Dylan, picked up by The Byrds, and in 1966 along comes Simon and Garfunkel who were starting to make their mark with some thoughtful, pastoral tunes for the college crowd to groove on. There hasn't really been better mellow chill out music since. Another big movement that was in full bloom was American garage rock (more to come in that department), and a new movement that would come to be known as psychedelic music. Love's debut, sadly overlooked because of Forever Changes, is a wonderful melding of all three of those movements. Check it out. It's a great album. In the world of jazz, John Coltrane was becoming more and more experimental and chartering vast new soundscapes with his sax. Check out Ascension. It takes the template set up on a Love Supreme and pushes the music further and further out into the stratosphere. Coltrane was a genius, and his playing and musicianship was/ is unparallelled. And then there were the British Invasion bands still led by The Beatles growing and maturing and creating new palletes and textures in rock. Revolver was and is an incredible innovation that in some ways is still ahead of its time, and if you think what I'm saying is hyperbole, at the very least, it's one of the greatest pop/ rock albums of all time. And when was American soul and R&B ever more exciting? River Deep, Mountain, High is all I have to say.... for now, that is. 😉 And then you had The Beach Boys who put out one of the most deeply affecting, artistic statements of the rock era in 1966, as well as Good Vibrations, one of the most ambitious and innovative singles ever made with the lead instrument of a theremin! Yes, 1966 was the year pop went art, and without it, who knows where music would be now.

As for '99... I like 69 Love Songs. 😉

OK. Thanks, Joy of Division!

I'll make my sales pitch later...although, Revolver is playing in this round. That should be enough, right there... and did you see/hear those singles... Damn! 😎
