The Beatles "Tomorrow Never Knows". "Revolver" was probably the best Beatles album and a perfect example of what 1966 was all about - commercial pop with a little extra, some musical experience here and a sly reference or two to banned substances there. If nothing else it was a "real album" and not just a collection of tracks, even "Rubber Soul" wasn't quite so cohesive. "Tomorrow Never Knows" is perhaps the most extreme track on the alnum - a real hint of things to come. As Lennon said "I imagined in my head that in the background you would hear thousands of monks chanting". In 1967 they would probably have let him have them.
