1966 is het jaar van Pet Sounds, het jaar waarin Amerika
een antwoord probeert te verzinnen op de Britste beat invasie van 1963-1965.
De Nederlandse top 40 bestond nog maar net ... België deed nog niet mee.

(in willekeurige volgorde)

SIMON & GARFUNKEL vallen af, omdat ik de elektrisch
versterkte versie een pak minder mooi vind dan de akoestische.

1966 was een prachtig hitjaar, dit zijn 18 favoriete nr.1-hits daaruit. Allemaal 5*-songs, ik heb voor zoveel mogelijk afwisseling gekozen en dan heb ik nog veel moois moeten schrappen.
