      @@2106522 Musical preference is always in the ears of the beholder. I likde both years, I can't say one is better than the other because it was what it was and was merely evolving.Now we have evolved into computers and auto tune. My perference is "sorry, I'll take James Brown and the Beatles and stuff in 1966 anytime over that."

    Born in 1966 and as a lover of music I'm surprised these beautiful songs were all released during my birth year. Though I always identify myself with 70s music I realize now 1966 was one gigantic year for music and most of these songs actually reached many generations through some great covers as well. Well obviously things were still looking up in 1966😊

    There's no way, 150 hits in one year; that's 3 hits a week?!!!
    But by golly, there they were. One hundred fifty hit songs.
    1966, my family moved from SF to LA; in between we stopped by Nevada, Arizona, ...
    we moved from apartment to apartment, school to school, ...
    But I can tell you exactly where I was, which street corner, which city, who I was with, when each song first came on the radio.
    I just had a hundred some flashbacks; the memories these songs bring back.

My favourites are 'Paint It Black' by The Rolling Stones, 'Its A Mans World' by James Brown, 'River Deep, Mountain High' by Ike and Tina Turner, 'Strangers In The Night' by Frank Sinatra, 'When A Man Loves A Woman' by Percy Sledge and many more! Seems as if this year is a hidden gem!

    "I Saw Her Again Last Night". The Mamas & The Papas
    "Where Were You When I Needed You". The Grassroots
    "Sweet Dreams" Tommy McLean)
    "I Want You" Bob Dylan
    "Billy & Sue". B. J. Thomas
    "Searchin' For My Love" Bobby Moore & The Rhythm Aces
    "Brainwashed". David Clayton Thomas
    "Impossible Dream". Jack Jones
    "Solitary Man". Neil Diamond

    Quite a few super awesome tracks from this year.
    And surprisingly, quite a few I had never heard of.
    Some surprised me as I thought they were earlier or later than 1966.
    Thank you for including The Seekers, and The Easybeats. Both are usually ignored on such lists, even though both had top 10 hits.
    Is this a remake? I could have sworn you already did 1966. (Oh I think I found the vid I was thinking of: 120 Number One Hits of the '60s (1966-1967))
