beatles - Revolver

This is the one. It beats Pepperland, and even Rubber Soul - and Rubber Soul being better than just about anything else in the normal world!! Ladies and Gentlemen, I was there in 1966. 1966 was THE YEAR for music, especially for rock music. Motown, British Invasion, American Rock - especially The Byrds and Dylan were at an all time high. People always wax prolific about the "Summer of Love" in 1967 and all that B.S. but, in 1966 you had Revolver, Pet Sounds and Blonde on Blonde. Beat those albums. Not to mention 5th Dimension by the Byrds, Dylan and Simon & Garfunkel's efforts. 1966 was the last stand. Turtlenecks, black suits,
Beatle Boots and Brian Jones haircuts were replaced by dirty looking men that looked like Charles Manson. What is cooler? Huh? Revolver was the last time we saw the "mop-tops," but this time, they had an "edge" to their music. There was a little more bite to it. And to those that STILL do not know, Paul played the guitar solo on Taxman!!!! This is their best album. PERIOD.
