Hey Man!
I did not think about that Bobby Darin album although I am fan.
(He is one of those artists I mentally place in the "singles" category - whether fairly or not.)
Will give a listen . . .
Actually, I think Cat's album is '67.
Great list as always. (I was wondering if you were going with Dylan or Beatles for the #1 spot.)

The Beatles - Revolver
The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Cream - Fresh Cream
Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde
Simon & Garfunkel - Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme
I sometimes find music so cathartic that it makes me lethargic -

Hey Muckle
Hmm.
Pet Sounds
This must be whispered: I really don't enjoy that album with the exception of 2-3 great songs.
I read the books. Saw the movie. But still . . .
Revolver
the greatest Beatles? What say ye? -

It's like me thinking Sgt Peppers is the most over rated album of all time. The first two songs are great and then filler. A Day in the Life might also be the most over rated song of all time!
You may be right, I might be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic you are looking for! -

What's up Dayodead.
I've said this about other bands: I am a fan of the Animals but always put them in the singles category. (Naturally I will listen to those posted. I know they did the US/UK slight differences thing.)
And Mr. Question Mark had more than the one monster hit? -

Another great year, but based on quantity rather than greatness.
Revolver-Beatles
Blonde on Blonde-Bob Dylan
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
Yesterday and Today-Beatles
Sounds of Silence-Simon and Garfunkel
Aftermath-Rolling Stones
Who-A Quick One
Soul and Inspiration-Righteous Brothers
Rascals-Rascals
Fifth Dimension-Byrds
Sunshine Superman-Donovan
Pet Sounds-Beach Boys
Roger the Engineer-Yardbirds
I think that the Rascals might have been Americas best group. I think I missed their two best Albums(Groovin and Collections) in the 1967 and 1968 years. I really liked Collections. The only Great album was the Beatles-Yesterday and Today.

Hey Henry. Once again you and I have a decent overlap, but I should really check out
Roger The Engineer
. I don't think I've ever heard the entire album.
I weighed in on Pet Sounds above
I won't hold it against you (if you don't hold my opinion of
Blonde On Blonde
against me
).
I guess I should try Love beyond
Forever Changes
I think
Forever Changes
is their best complete album, but the two released before it are also pretty good. If you like
Forever Changes
, there will definitely be tracks on the other two that you will enjoy, it's just a matter of how many.
