1965 basically continues what 1964 started. The British Invasion has no brakes now with tons of beat bands invading the charts. Everything British is cool, and the mod style has overtaken music, fashion and art simultaneously. Meanwhile, Motown is on a roll releasing some of its best material. Besides those, the charts of 1965 also welcome the brazing sound of "garage rock".
All in all, 1965 is a geniunely great year and a seminal one in rock history, but only serves as an intro to the absolute amazingness of the year after.
