Albums First Released in 1965

Folk musicians plugged in, soul grew more ambitious and rock bands began making albums with a stronger identity. Albums that help explain 1965 include A Love Supreme by John Coltrane, Rubber Soul by The Beatles, Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan and Otis Blue by Otis Redding.

1965 sits at the point where pop singles culture began giving way to album-oriented listening. Dylan, the Beatles, Coltrane and Otis Redding each used the LP to extend ideas beyond a single hit.

Our Pick of the Year: A Love Supreme by John Coltrane

A Love Supreme is a four-part suite built around a simple musical phrase and Coltrane's spiritual purpose. The classic quartet of McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones gives the album both discipline and freedom. Its clear structure makes it approachable, while repeated listening reveals how closely the group responds to one another.
