On this day, 50 years ago. Two albums were released that changed music forever. More specifically, they elevated the artistic merit of rock/pop music to soaring heights and began an era of unmatched progress and innovation in popular music. Ofcourse, i am talking about:
Bob Dylan-Blonde on Blonde
The Beach Boys-Pet Sounds
>everyone will die soon
4 real? they were both released on the same day?
>Meme Sounds
>Meme on Meme
Lmao, neck yourself rockist.
I know Sup Forums mocks born in le wrong generationers, but imagine being a teenager into music in the 1960s. Every couple of weeks or so you'd have a release that makes you think 'huh, I guess music has been transformed forever... again'.
>Pet Sounds
>rock
What a day this was in '66
I wonder if people of then thought the music of that time will be forgotten, 'cause in the future it's gonna get better and better. How wrong they were, if so.
>The dating of the album's release is uncertain. May 16, 1966, has been widely accepted as the official release date;[24][110][111] however, Michael Gray, author of The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia, disputes this. Gray maintains the earliest Blonde on Blonde was available was late June or early July.[28] This coincides with the album's promotion in Billboard, which carried a full-page Columbia advertisement on June 25,[112] selected the album as a "New Action LP" on July 9,[113] and ran a review and article on July 16.[105] The album debuted on Billboard's Top LP's chart on July 23 at No. 101[114]—just six days before Dylan's motorcycle accident in Woodstock removed him from public view.[115] Clinton Heylin argues that early July is the probable release date, stating that an overdub on "Fourth Time Around" was recorded in June.[116]
What the fuck?
LMFAO
EEEEEEEEEEEEVERYBODY MUST GET STONED
Wow a bunch of white guys made some more guitar music
Very amazing

Pet Sounds is great, Wouldn't it be Nice and Sloop John B are the only weak tracks. One of my favorite albums.
Sloop John B is a slapper family to be honest shaking my head
>caring about dadrock
Lmao gtfo kid
licensing rights ye fuckiest of fuktards.
comparing blonde on blonde to pet sounds
>WEW
Why? They're both GOAT records
if u think pet sounds is better u should probably consider ending ur life
Blonde on Blonde is legit one of the most boring albums i've ever listened to. People were right to be angry at Dylan going electric
if trips both Dylan and Wilson will be dead before the month ends
Considering I'm seeing him in a month I'm glad you're wrong.
Pet Sounds is one of those where it stands up to the hype built over time, great on acid too.
>I'm fucking sick of sugar sugar. the starchies and the monkpees are the worst thing in music. why wasn't I born in the 50's
Listening to Blonde On Blonde for the first time, why does Dylan have such weird inflictions on his voice? Does he normally sing like this? Never listened to anything by him before.
Yes, but BoB is possibly the most extreme example. He started by kind of imitating an old folk singer, but then kind of developed his own weird voice which peaked with BoB.
The weirdest voice is on Nashville Skyline, though, because he goes Full Country. Sounds totally different.
>elevated the artistic merit of rock/pop music to soaring heights and began an era of unmatched progress and innovation in popular music
That would be Sgt. Peppers in 1967. The biggest cultural impact an album has made.
>sgt. peppers
>album strongly influenced by Pet Sounds
No one did that.
both are 6/10 albums
>I listen to real music. Beethoven, Mozart, Vivaldi, the list goes on...
what albums do you consider to be better?
I always felt Sgt Peppers was the turning point of my dislike for the Beatles.
That's pretty interesting as the time most people start to dislike The Beatles is when they encounter Beatles fans.
reroll
Beatles fans are literal cancer. I like the Beatles but I actively try to distance myself from being called one
Beatles fans =/= Born in le wrong gene pool fags
More like every couple of months or so. I went through an oldies phase, and the vast majority of music of the 1960s was very unimpressive
no u
wouldnt it be nice is fucking sick man
Music being transformed forever every few months is still pretty damn good.
The problem is, if you're listening to try and get a sense of the innovation of the time you have to be listening in chronological order. Phil Spector's stuff all sounds basic to our ears by now.
