Harry Nilsson - Pandemonium Shadow Show

Pandemonium Shadow Show

This Harry Nilsson album from 1967 is one of the best albums of the 60s era. The songs are pop, baroque pop, and psychedelic pop. Some of my favorite songs are "Ten Little Indians", "1941", "She Sang Hymns Out of Tune", "She's Leaving Home", "There Will Never Be", "Freckles", and "It's Been So Long". Fans of The Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band will want to hear Pandemonium Shadow Show.

The never completed SMiLE album by The Beach Boys, from the 1966-1967 sessions, has some of the best songs in pop music, with many psychedelic songs.

The Mamas & the Papas - If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears

If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears

If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears is from 1966, and is my favorite Mamas & the Papas album. The album has the popular 60s songs "Monday, Monday" and "California Dreamin'", which are my favorites. Some other songs I like are "Straight Shooter", "I Call Your Name", "Spanish Harlem", and "Somebody Groovy". I also like their Greatest Hits album and California Dreamin' DVD, which has great performances and interviews with them.

The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds

Pet Sounds

Pet Sounds is from 1966; one year before The Beatles Sgt. Pepper album was released. Pet Sounds also uses various instruments that are played throughout the songs, making for some listening experience. It is one of the best albums ever. The 1999 edition has extra songs and mixes. Some of my favorites are "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "I'm Waiting for the Day", "Sloop John B", "God Only Knows", "I Know There's An Answer", "Here Today", "Pet Sounds", and "Hang On to Your Ego". I also like their SMiLE and Sounds of Summer: The Very Best of The Beach Boys albums.

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Sgt. Pepper is one of the best albums ever, and my favorite psychedelic album. Some of the songs have an orchestra playing, like "A Day in the Life" and "Good Morning Good Morning", making the album sound very different than any of The Beatles other albums. My favorite song is "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!". "A Day in the Life" is the most memorable song on the album. "Getting Better" is a fun song and is another one of my favorites. "Within You Without You", "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", "With a Little Help from My Friends", "Fixing a Hole", "She's Leaving Home", "When I'm Sixty-Four", "Lovely Rita", "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)" make up the rest of this classic album from 1967. I also like their A Hard Day's Night, Help!, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album, Abbey Road, Anthology 1, and 1 albums.
