    1964 certainly signaled the rebirth of rock and roll, with the Beatles leading the British Invasion and the Rolling Stones hot on their heels, while the Beach Boys climbed toward new heights and Bob Dylan started leaning in the direction of electrifying his sound.

    1965 was a development year, where these four bands developed uniquely identifiable sounds that nevertheless started to congeal into the common framework of rock and roll music.

    1966 proved to be yet another banner year, and perhaps the most important, as each act developed their unique identity until their style of music was virtually perfected. All four of the above-named acts would release career-defining albums in 1966. The Rolling Stones were the first, releasing ‘Aftermath’ in the Spring of 1966. It marked their first album to be wholly written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, a sea change that forever altered the band’s method of working. It also provided a musical bed for Brian Jones to stretch out in numerous directions, giving the Stones a depth that was not previously imaginable.

    2) Stupid Girl

    3) Lady Jane
