-'''''Turn! Turn! Turn!''''' is the second album by [[The Byrds]] and was released in [[1965]]. Its lead single, the title track of the album and adapted by [[Pete Seeger]] from the Book of Ecclesiastes, proved to be a big smash, reaching #1.  The album was very much similar to its predecessor, ''[[Mr. Tambourine Man (album)|Mr. Tambourine Man]]'', and while still well regarded and commended for its generally high quality of songs, ''Turn! Turn! Turn!'' is considered by most critics to pale slightly when compared with The Byrds' first album.
