Autumn 65 to autumn 66 - the greatest 12 months for pop singles ever.

Not that good a year by that list. Except for Sgt Pepper none of those on the list are really that highly rated in the history of Rock.

Starting in 1966 (or so) and ending in 1972 (or so) has always seemed like the most amazingly creative, fertile and greatest period for pop and rock music to me, even though I discovered the music years later.
I have often wondered the reason and tend to believe it was related to both the proliferation of drugs like weed and LSD in the music industry and the huge social changes that drew the younger generation to the music and lifestyle changes. You can't underestimate the important role Rubber Soul and Revolver played, imo.

It had a lot to do with demographics....Between 1966 and 1972 the first baby boomers in England and North America went from 20 to 26 years of age.The peak baby boom year was 1955...in 1972 they were all 17...dazed and confused!

Maybe I'm biased but I'll take Aftermath over any of those three albums mentioned. First Stones album with all Jagger/Richard songs and Brian's magic all over it.
