The Fab Four go 3 for 3 in the years in which they have been nominated, which isn't a surprise. I don't particularly rate Rubber Soul, but I also don't see 1965 as a canonical musical year, certainly for pop music at least. It was something special for Jazz, which is where most of my list came from.
This year, we'll jump ahead a decade to the titanic year of 1975, where some truly era-defining masterpieces were released. Dig deep or don't - there is a bounty of amazing stuff to vote on and discuss.
The next year that we will be covering (which I will do on Friday) will be 1996.
