I don't know how much this has been true for past lists, but there's plenty of room for obscurities on this list when it comes to rock, not much of any when it comes to soul.

"You Keep Me Hanging On" over "Tomorrow Never Knows."

Even Motown seems under-represented. '66 Motown standards that don't appear:
"This Old Heart of Mine," "Get Ready," "Ain't Too Proud to Beg," "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted"

I wouldn't call any of these songs obscure.
"This Old Heart of Mine" OH YEAH. "Knock on Wood" another important omission, but it's still a very strong list. "Pushin' Too Hard" isn't here either. There aren't that many songs I can quibble with the inclusion of (whether I love them or not), although I don't get how "Friday on my Mind" made this list, that just seems like a pretty typical rave-up next to something like, oh, "Bus Stop" by the Hollies (missing).
Also, I favor the cool short songs on Blonde on Blonde like "Sooner or Later" & "Most Likely You Go Your Way" to the long snoozers on the list.

It's rock that gets the deep cuts, though, and rock that gets its "Sunday Morning."
These also don't appear:
"Hold On! I'm a Coming""Sweet Talkin' Guy""I'm Your Puppet""634-5789""Barefootin""(I'm a) Road Runner""Cool Jerk""Sunny""Summertime""How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)""(I Know) I'm Losing You""Mustang Sally""Standing in the Shadows of Love"

"Money Won't Change You" is 1966 too, James Brown to psych circus

Ah, I should have expected 'God Only Knows' would take this.

the lone vote for "Psychotic Reaction". Not quite as psychotic as 1966's "Mirror of Your Mind" by We The People
Mirror of Your Mind is one of those records like Slade's "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" - that have done serious longterm damage to my eardrums

I ended up voting Walk Away Renee but now I'm thinking maybe I should have given the Spencer Davis Group some lovin'
