Well, on youtube's Sea of Tranquility channel this month, the topic was favorite albums from 1966, so one album each day. I managed to pick some that I liked, including a few that I listened to for the first time. There's a ton from that year that I haven't listened to before, and I probably should. I didn't really rank mine, but since the moderator listed them from #31 to #1, I did the same.

Also, in those days before consultants dictated playlists and all media being owned by three corporations you had a good chance of hearing a good bit of that list on the same radio station.
I still have Sinatra At The Sands, a great live album with Frank backed by the Count Basie band.
Where Or When is a cool little number.
Jefferson Airplane - Jefferson Airplane Takes Off
Someday, everything's gonna be different
When I paint my masterpiece.
