Have just been piecing together a list of groundbreaking, innovative, weird and wonderful 45s from 1966 for the January issue of Shindig!
Was just wondering . . . if push came to shove, what would YOUR faves from thee golden year be?

This is one that is right up there. The old English band abroad story

OK, my suggestion is 1966 singles by The Beatles.

OK, my suggestion is 1966 singles by The Beatles.

I don't think they released that many.

[Col Wolfe]

I don't think they released that many.

The ones released in 1966 were very much groundbreaking, innovative, weird and wonderful, though.

I'm down with this - and The Who and The Byrds and The Kinks and The Beach Boys....and off the top of my head, you might also mention;

R. Dean Taylor - There's A Ghost In My House
The Flies - I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone
The Girls - Chico's Girl
The Temptations - (I Know) I'm Losing You
Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made For Walkin'

[Cacapo]

I don't think they released that many.

Probably more if you count variants.

Although there are a ton of possibles, I'm currently inclined towards this unsung doom-laden masterpiece . . .
