I agree. Their output in 1966 was astonishing, mainly because Brian was still a fully functioning member of the band and was at the height of his multi-instrumental explorations. It all still sounds great, but it's the amount of growth they showed that is so stunning. A long way from '65.
Not only that, but they were the coolest LOOKING band in the world in 1966.
Only Bob Dylan looked cooler or had a more impressive year recording-wise.
