Well, this is the eleventh week of RAC, time flies quickly! Let's tackle a year whose results might turn out to be very interesting... also, we have some not so predictable names here and a good bunch of 'The' bands, so pick a favorite from 1965 and leave a comment!

I'm flying high with the Byrds, but Rubber Sole reminds me that I need to replace my worn-out slippers. Smile

Probably Rubber Soul...but Rave Up, My Generation ,  Out of Our Heads(Satisfaction...) , and Turn,Turn, Turn... are all very good also.

I have to admit I saw 'Rubber Soul' as the sole favorite but I am just a tint surprised that John Coltrane's 'A Love Supreme' is getting a good number of votes as well.

A Love Supreme takes it for me, followed by both Beatles albums.

Well, Coltrane was a visionary. I don't like his tone or his style that much, but I cannot downplay his significance in the music world. His usage of triadic shifting and hexatonic stuff was revolutionary. Probably the most important figure in modal jazz, after Miles Davis sort of popularized it I guess.

Rubber Soul.

Was I the only one who was confused by the poll question? It says favorite album of 1968, but the topic said 1965. Anyway, I understood by looking at the albums, so what the neck!

It's between Rubber Soul and Having a Rave Up with the Yardbirds. At the end, I voted for the Beatles.

OK, I'm going to cause a little trouble here.Evil Smile

Rubber Soul could have been an absolutely amazing album, here's how.
Take Drive my Car, Michelle & Run for your Life & set them on fire. 

Go with the American release that has I've just seen a Face but keep Nowhere Man & and add We can work it Out which was recorded during the Rubber Soul sessions but not put on the album.  Throw in Day Tripper, (also recorded during those sessions but released as a single, not on the album) and BAM! Absolutely killer album. 

I realize many people love the Rubber Soul just the way it is but in my mind this would have been a better album.

I must admit, I was a bit confused by the year mentioned in your poll question: - "Pick your favorite album out of the 15 released back in *1968*", but then just above that it says "Random Album Clash - 1965". I'm guessing you copied and pasted the question from your 1968 random album poll without changing the year. Wink
