*This was by far the toughest year yet. As you can see below, there are 34 songs from 1965 on Rolling Stone's top 500 list, far more than any other year. Not only that, but the top two songs are from this year (and not surprisingly are my top two picks for the year).

*The Beatles meet Elvis Presley at his home. Lennon (rightly) questions why Elvis stopped recording rock songs.

*Once again, The Supremes are no match for Martha & the Vandellas.

*Alan Freed, the legendary disc jokey who coined the term rock n roll and was brought down by the payola scandal, passes away.

*Rubber Soul is a great Beatles album, but is marred by the disturbing "Run For Your Life".
