"Shapes Of Things" #11 5/14/1966

Music critic Richie Unterberger of the Allmusic website said this was arguably the first psychedelic pop record. The otherworldly guitar solo by Jeff Beck contained a very early use of feedback and was considered groundbreaking. This Top 5 UK single cemented the Yardbirds as being one of the most influential groups of the 60's, and certainly shaped the thing called rock and roll.
