These days, we think of the period between 1965 and 1967 as one of white-hot musical progress, a dizzying three-year period during which innovation followed innovation, a succession of totemic albums and singles were released and pop music changed irrevocably. But, as Jon Savageâs superb book 1966: The Year the Decade Exploded made clear, not everyone at the time was impressed with how things were going. Savageâs research revealed a succession of contemporary naysayers, devoted to âringing the death knellâ as he put it: 1966 â The Year Pop Went Flat was noted music journalist Maureen Cleaveâs assessment of 12 months that had seen the release of Revolver, Blonde on Blonde, Reach Out (Iâll Be There), Eight Miles High, Itâs a Manâs Manâs Manâs World and 19th Nervous Breakdown.
