In this new series, "The Album Years with Andy", I will be sharing my top 10 favorite albums release in each year! We will start with 1965, and continue our way up until we have reached 2021 (then this will just be an annual thing of course)!


Today, we will talk about my top 10 favorite albums that were released in 1966. Here is a timeline of what was going on in music back in 1966 from Rock Music Timeline: https://www.rockmusictimeline.com/1966


"John Lennon is quoted in a London newspaper saying the Beatles are more popular than Jesus, resulting in Beatles record burning events across the southern US. Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass have four albums simultaneously in the US Top Ten. The Beatles perform their last official concert at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. NBC has a hit TV show with The Monkees, featuring the comedic exploits of a "Beatlesque" pop group. In April, for the first time since January 1964, the US Top Ten does not have a UK band in it. So called "garage" bands make a big impact in the US."
