Did you know that two rock masterpieces—Bob Dylan's Blonde On Blonde and The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds—were both released on the same day in 1966? That day was in fact 50 YEARS AGO TODAY!
Veteran music critic/Rolling Stone editor Anthony DeCurtis wrote an essay for Genius about the significance and impact of these very different albums.

"The two albums, different as they are, stand Janus-like as markers of the end of one rock era and the beginning of another.
Some really excellent writing here!
On Dylan's album cover:
The shot is out of focus, an eloquent reflection of Dylan's persona at the time: impossibly poetic, grippingly present, but incapable of being fixed and fully comprehended.
On Pet Sounds:
As rock & roll stood on the brink of revolutionary transformations, Pet Sounds marinated in feelings of nostalgia and melancholy, the yearning for a world of wonder and innocence that would always be the same.
