without wanting to labour this too much. Mentions of Stockhausen kind of miss the point for me. Stockhausen was operating in some rarified field where he was expected and encouraged to be avant-garde, performing music to a very small circle. If he'd wanted to be really radical and shocking he should have made a rock n' roll record!

From, arguably the first double lp, I give you Frank and the Mothers.
Is it the best track from ‘66? Is it their best track from ‘66? Maybe not, but it’s up there as more than a curiosity.

I don't want to derail the thread, or necessarily get into another Beatles discussion This was a key point for me. It's interesting to you, but not to me. |

For my 1966 selection I'm going for pure excitement and punk attitude..

Time for 1967!
My nomination for this most magical of years is 2000 Light Years..
Ominous, exciting.. it feels like it's taking you into a strange, and slightly disturbing, alien world. I've always been obsessed by the sound of this record, which The Stones never bettered or replicated, the groove of the drums, those ghostly, whistling electronic sounds, the crunch of the guitar, Wyman's great bass line. It's a huge record for me.

1967
Albert Ayler heading back to the roots of jazz with his New Orleans inspired riffing, full of passion and spirituality. Yet he also creates the most progressive, beautiful, awe-inspiring moments in jazz as the structure repeatedly folds in on itself, and re-expands in different forms. If I had the proverbial time-machine, and could go back to one musical moment, it would possibly be to this Greenwich Village gig; imagine the feeling of seeing Albert redefine the concept of beauty in real-time.
Btw, the year of recording is 1966, but it was first released in 1967.

A masterpiece (and I think the first track where Charlie does a shaker in one hand and a stick in the other - a groove of his that I love more than any other). People talk about things being covered in 60s dust (as a positive, I hasten to add) and this song has PLENTY of it. |

1967 is another (maybe more than any to date) scenario when I'm sitting down at the restaurant with the amazing menu, spoilt for choice, and asking everyone at the table to let me order last. There's a handful of personal icons that cause me to think "Well, if Dougie orders the ribeye and hatz orders the catfish, I can just go ahead and lean into the crab legs with full confidence."

It might not play out like that. Hatz will probably go for some vegan tofu thing and Dougie a deep fried mars bar! |
