Notes:  I look forward to listening to other mid-60s years, because this was a lot of fun. This is also the year with the most repeated artists so far; partially because the albums were generally pretty short, and partially because you can't make me choose between Help! and Rubber Soul or Highway 61 Revisited and Bringing It All Back Home.
