Miles Smiles all the way. Arguably where he started getting a bit more fusion-y and experimental. ------------- "I am so prog, I listen to concept albums on shuffle." -KMac2021 |

No way around Revolver... though I love Sounds of Silence. |

| Four of those albums are in the realm of genius (though not prog) - Pet Sounds, Blonde on Blonde, Face to Face and Revolver (and if you included Bookends you have five) - and you can argue about the others. |

Am I voting Beatles? I'm surprising myself. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

There are so many great albums there, but eventually I’ve decided my vote goes for Sounds of Silence. As per my post about top pre-teen musical influences, S&G were easily one of the greatest. This second album of theirs is just amazing, and possibly my favourite of theirs. ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

| Can't decide between Revolver and Pet Sounds, especially as they were part of a sequence where Brian Wilson and Lennon/McCartney were driving each other to new heights with each offering until Smile fell apart at the seams. |

This may well be the first time that we have both voted for the same thing! 😄 ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

| This is hard. PSR&T was the first album I ever bought, but over the centuries I've probably listened to Revolver the most of these. |

Pet sounds followed by Revolver. Other great albums: Ther Byrds "5Th Dimension" and Love "Da Capo"

Wow, a lot of good stuff to choose! Went with Pet Sounds, just over Revolver. ------------- Welcome to the middle of the film. |

Zappa. Although I like so many of these albums. 'Sloop John B' alone nearly made me choose Pet Sounds. ------------- Levitating downwards, atomic feedback scream. |

Revolver, easy. Is Roger the Engineer related to the legendary Roger the Cabin Boy from Captain Pugwash?

If the Yardbirds were not successfully sued for libel, probably not. 😜 ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

All good albums but Revolver is in class of it's own. Take that Catcher10. ------------- This message was brought to you by a proud supporter of the Deep State. |

Great year. My vote was for Revolver, but I also love Blonde on Blonde, Pet Sounds and Freak Out. A Quick One I think is one of the weakest Who albums. Aftermath by the Rolling Stones is another great album of that year.

Going with Simon & Garfunkel here (Sounds of Silence). I think I even really appreciate it more than Revolver, overall... Could have chosen Coltrane too, though. ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

The Beatles, followed by S&G and Dylan. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

As expected, 'Revolver' is thrashing all other albums in the poll. |
