My knowledge in music is still a bit limited, but thought of giving it a try,

1966-1970

1966:
The beginning of the best Beatles albums with Revolver
The release of Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde
The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, personally, their only good album [as a whole]
and the mothers of invention's debut with Freak Out!, the first concept album.

1967
I think that is the best year in music history, great debut albums for soon to be, some of the greatest bands:
Piper at the gates of dawn (Pink Floyd) , The Doors (The Doors), Are you experienced? (Jimi Hendrix Experience), The Velvet Underground & Nico (Velvet Underground)
and many great psychedelic albums
Forever Changes (Love) , Magical Mystery Tour, Sgt. Pepper (The Beatles), Surrealistic Pillow (Jefferson Airplane), Strange days (The Doors)other than the above albums. And my favorite Beach Boys track "Good vibrations".

1968
The pretty things' debut album is released, S.F Sorrow. Many other bands continue to release some of the greatest albums in history: Waiting for the sun (The Doors), Electric Ladyland (Jimi Hendrix Experience), Bookends (Simon & Garfunkel), Odyssey and Oracle (The Zombies), A Saucerful of secrets (Pink Floyd), We're only in it for the money (Mothers of invention). Finally, the release of the self-titled The Beatles album, that will prepare for the beginning of the solo-careers of Harrison, McCartney and Lennon.

1969
The beginning of the end, of the 60s era. The Led Zeppelin debut is here, with Led Zeppelin I. Led Zeppelin II is also released that same year. Pink floyd are still releasing very good albums, like Ummagumma. The Beatles are still on the run with the release of Abbey Road.

1970
Not that good of a year, it actually marks an end. The year ends with the death of Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. It even marks the break up of the Beatles. But it sets the beginning of a new era; Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, each releases his solo debut.Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother feels like a transition between the the bit chaotic start of the band, between the experimentations and Syd Barrett's departure, and the later years of popular recognition.
