Buffalo Springfield（水牛春田合唱团）是一支生命力短暂但较有影响的美国民谣摇滚乐队。它曾是Neil Young、 Stephen Stills、 Richie Furay 和 Jim Messina音乐事业的跳板。乐队最为流行的曲目是"For What It's Worth"。这首"For What It's Worth"也成为了影视金曲，在《阿甘正传》，《战争之王》等深刻讨论人性的作品中都出现。 自1966年4月成立后，乐队历经的内部口角、外部音乐行业的压力等导致乐队成员频繁更换，最终乐队也以短短的25个月的“寿命”解散。 Buffalo Springfield 一共发行过三张专辑，另外留下了许多demo和现场录音带。

1966年，吉他大师Eric Clapton为了继续施展在布鲁斯方面的抱负，离开了先前的乐队，跑到伦敦找到John Mayall的Bluesbreakers一起合作，仅仅数月之后，Clapton就离开了Bluesbreakers，组建了Cream。然而，就是在这样一次短暂的合作期间，却诞生了一张伟大的专辑，这张专辑从一开始就以Clapton的吉他为卖点，在伦敦引发了对Clapton的崇拜热潮，有fans打出了“Clapton是神！”的标语，吉他之神从此也就成了Clapton的绰号。 这张专辑在布鲁斯摇滚历史上的地位可谓十分显赫，被认为在很多方面创立了布鲁斯摇滚的标准。专辑在该年度进入UK专辑排行榜的前十。 这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第195位。

For the first time in 40 years, here it is in dangerously powerful MONO, exactly as it was intended: the stupefying debut album by Texas' heroic psychedelic point-men, the 13th Floor Elevators, on Sundazed's uncannily accurate high-definition vinyl! The unearthly banshee howl of Roky Erickson, the blistering guitar of Stacy Sutherland and the demented electric jug of Tommy Hall haven't sounded this scary since their glory days in the third eye of the lysergic hurricane!

Pet Sounds is the eleventh studio album by the American rock band the Beach Boys, released on May 16, 1966, by Capitol Records. It was produced, arranged, and primarily composed by Brian Wilson with guest lyricist Tony Asher. Recorded largely between January and April 1966, it furthered the orchestral sound introduced in The Beach Boys Today! (1965). Initially promoted as "the most progressive pop album ever", Pet Sounds is recognized for its ambitious production, sophisticated harmonic structures, and coming of age themes. It is widely regarded as among the greatest and most influential albums in music history. Wilson viewed Pet Sounds as a solo album and attributed its inspiration partly to marijuana use and an LSD–rooted spiritual awakening. Galvanized by the work of his rivals, he aimed to create "the greatest rock album ever made", surpassing the Beatles' Rubber Soul and extending Phil Spector's Wall of Sound innovations. His orchestrations blended pop, jazz, exotica, classical, and avant-garde elements, combining rock instrumentation with layered vocal harmonies, found sounds, and instruments not normally associated with rock, such as French horn, flutes, Electro-Theremin, bass harmonica, bicycle bells, and string ensembles. Featuring the most complex and challenging instrumental and vocal parts of any Beach Boys album, it was their first in which studio musicians, such as the Wrecking Crew, largely replaced the band on their instruments, and the first time any group had departed from their usual small-ensemble pop/rock band format to create a full-length album that could not be replicated live.

First CD reissue of the album. Revolver is the seventh studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. It was first released on 5 August 1966, accompanied by the double A-side single "Eleanor Rigby" and "Yellow Submarine". The album was the Beatles' final recording project before their retirement as live performers and marked the group's most overt use of studio technology to date, building on the advances of their late 1965 release Rubber Soul. It has since become regarded as one of the greatest and most innovative albums in the history of popular music, with recognition centred on its range of musical styles, diverse sounds and lyrical content.

Wild Is the Wind is jazz singer-songwriter and pianist Nina Simone's sixth album for Philips Records. The album was compiled from several recordings that were left over from sessions (in 1964 and 1965) for previous Philips albums.

One of the most ambitious debuts in rock history, Freak Out! was a seminal concept album that somehow foreshadowed both art rock and punk at the same time. Its four LP sides deconstruct rock conventions right and left, eventually pushing into territory inspired by avant-garde classical composers. Yet the album is sequenced in an accessibly logical progression; the first half is dedicated to catchy, satirical pop/rock songs that question assumptions about pop music, setting the tone for the radical new directions of the second half. Opening with the nonconformist call to arms &Hungry Freaks, Daddy,& Freak Out! quickly posits the Mothers of Invention as the antithesis of teen-idol bands, often with sneering mockeries of the teen-romance songs that had long been rock's commercial stock-in-trade. Despite his genuine emotional alienation and dissatisfaction with pop conventions, though, Frank Zappa was actually a skilled pop composer; even with the raw performances and his stinging guitar work, there's a subtle sophistication apparent in his unorthodox arrangements and tight, unpredictable melodicism. After returning to social criticism on the first song of the second half, the perceptive Watts riot protest &Trouble Every Day, & Zappa exchanges pop song structure for experiments with musique concrète, amelodic dissonance, shifting time signatures, and studio effects. It's the first salvo in his career-long project of synthesizing popular and art music, high and low culture; while these pieces can meander, they virtually explode the limits of what can appear on a rock album, and effectively illustrate Freak Out!'s underlying principles: acceptance of differences and free individual expression. Zappa would spend much of his career developing and exploring ideas -- both musical and conceptual -- first put forth here; while his myriad directions often produced more sophisticated work, Freak Out! contains at least the rudiments of almost everything that followed, and few of Zappa's records can match its excitement over its own sense of possibility.

Black Monk Time is the debut studio album by Germany-based American rock band The Monks. It was released in May 1965 through Polydor Records and was the only album released during the band's original incarnation. The album's subversive content was radical for its time and today is considered an important landmark in the development of punk rock.

Neil's 1966 Capitol debut contains some of his best known (and most covered) songs including "Dolphins," "That's The Bag I'm In," and the future theme song to the 1969 blockbuster film Midnight Cowboy (and Harry Nilsson hit) "Everybody's Talkin'." Original artwork. Detailed liner notes. Water. 2005.
