The Mamas and the Papas!
A towering masterpiece of vocal and instrumental melody, counterpoint and arrangement. Originally Monday Monday was my #1 favorite and pick for all of 1966, but now I have it at all time #24, superceded by the best landmark innovations that came in the following months.
More well-known today because the lyrics apply to so many things, the previous hit California Dreamin' caught my attention immediately as something special too, and before long most everyone agreed that the Mamas and Papas were great indeed, although this song was not a #1 favorite of mine. But both are great landmarks of folk-rock and neo-classical and baroque music.

The unfortunate mid-60s practice of splitting audio tracks meant that sometimes one of them is reduced in volume, and I couldn't find a video of this one where the sound is balanced.
Another 1966 hit, I Saw Her Again
