The Greatest Music
If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears
The 538th greatest album of all time
If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears, the 1966 debut by the Mamas & the Papas, blends folk roots with pop sensibilities and baroque pop touches. John Phillips' songwriting and the group's four-part vocal harmonies are central, pairing acoustic guitar and breezy folk textures with pop arrangements that include orchestral flourishes and piano accents. The album features the songs "California Dreamin'" and "Monday, Monday" and exemplifies the West Coast folk pop sound of the mid 1960s.
