10 Best Albums 1967

FYI Nico does not sing Sunday Morning. It's sung by Lou Reed, who is trying to sound like a girl. He was trying to prove they didn't need Nico in the band.

It's hard to argue that '67 was probably the biggest year for albums, certainly a major shift in music. While '68 and '69 has more of my favorite albums, everything you showed are classics and I know them backwards and forwards.

The greatest ever debut album by a solo artist, Laura Nyro's 'More Than a New Discovery', spawning 4 major hits including And When I Die, Wedding Bell Blues, Stoney End and Blowin' Away. The album is honoured in the Grammy Hall of Fame. Nyro wrote the songs aged 16, recorded it when she was 18. A genius level singer/songwriter. She performed at Monterey Pop aged 19, in between The Byrds and Jefferson Airplane. Her 1968 and 1969 albums are mindblowing - songwriting so far ahead of the game.

We didn't have a FM rock station until 69.... I'll tell you a funny story about that Hendrix are you experienced album. In 1967 when that album came out we chopped up an ounce of Speed on it with a razor blade. Speed had lots of crystals in it back then. The Purple dye came off the album and made the speed a purpley mauve color. We hit it or sold it anyhow. LOL.. I ran into a guy at my Bar 8 or 9 years ago and somehow the conversation ended up about the great drugs of the 60s. The dude mentioned one time doing the best speed in his life and the color of it was purple. LOL... Yep he bought that speed off of us some 50 years ago. We had quite the laugh when I told him why the speed was purple... LOL.. Come to think of it it might of been in 68 that purple speed not 67. I wasn't hitting in 67, I was in 68... yeah the summer of Love 1967. It was a very good year let me tell you. There was a different vibe going on. It didn't last long though.

wonderful choice and i agree with all but one,now this is only my opinion but the world of rock in 1967 embraced all these records all were number ones ,except one, aretha franklin,in 67 the music scene was busting wide open and if you were young and hip and white you listened to rock and psych,i never bought or listened to , and neither did anyone else i knew listen to aretha's music,it was not played on cool underground stations,it just wasn't, now in the decades since we realize what a mistake that was,musicians listened to her and otis redding, but the rock world of white teens did not if you doubt me go watch the film on woodstock and see how many people of color make up the audience, how many african american bands played there. so the impact arthea had on music in 67 was limited.i would have added moody blues days of future past instead ,because it like the doors , hendrix,velvet underground,cream and beatles changed and influenced rock for at least the next few years till around 71, my favorite was traffic's first in all its forms. ,i simply loved that record,as much today as in 67.also all those bands played around multiple times live in LA,except the beatles of course.this was a great list and yes i still don,t own that aretha album haha but after your review i,ll look for it, and im not saying she was not worthy,clearly she was ,but in 67,the doors first was a debut like no other ,it was played everywhere,and the long version of light my fire is still powerful.i loved 1967,you just tapped on it but it was a giant year,i will say one thing ,thinking back a lot of blues bands played on bills,black blues bands, so maybe im all screwed up in my history of those years,i had a job at a factory and one night my black co worker was singing mo town so i started singing cream ,ect he was teasing me and i said i listen to black music,jimi hendrix ,well he about fell off his forklift laughing so hard ,he shouted hes not black , man --hahaha thanks cant wait for 1968 another year that may be as good or better than 67. also i would have added DONOVAN, (my opinion). Great video thanks so much.

[@vinylrichie007]

In 67 we didn't have a FM station. The AM station KAFY played everything. By 67 they were even playing the hard and heavy stuff. I still think these are the best.

Good list! I saw an hour long discussion by Howard Goodall the composer on Sgt Peppers Musical Revolution and he pointed up the way the LP used different musical styles/eras , and made a strong case that George Martin definitely was the 'fifth Beatle' on this one; also that Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane belong on the LP and its a shame they released those songs as a double A side 45 instead.

[@vinylrichie007]

Can you imagine side two starting with Strawberry Fields Forever and then Penny Lane? The Beatles would not have been what they were without George Martin. That said, George Martin wouldn't have been what he was without The Beatles. They were a perfect match.

[@latheofheaven]

Bro, you are frigg'n Hilarious! :D BTW, FWIW, I'm not usually a mono guy and especially not for the Psychedelic era. Even though 'Audiophiles' claim that for example the mono version of Axis, Bold as Love is SO much better, sorry, I just love all the neat channel to channel trippy stuff on the stereo version, and the same with Revolver. BUT... I guess the original mono master for Disraeli Gears was **SO** much better than the stereo one, that the recent Abbey Road 1/2 speed mono remaster done by Miles Showell is actually pretty dang good! It is the only real mono album I have out of about 2400 vinyl albums, so I thought I'd throw that out there.

[@vinylrichie007]

With Axis there is no way I would pick mono over stereo. When the Ramones debut 40th anniversary album came out in mono I picked it up. I thought if anything would sound better in mono it would be the Ramones. I think the stereo is better.

[@latheofheaven]

@@vinylrichie007 Well, if you ever get a chance to listen to that mono master that Showell did of Disraeli Gears, you will be impressed my friend.

Every album a great choice. Are You Experienced blew my head off at the time and cemented my transition to hippiedom. I still remember the first time I heard it in a little coffeehouse in upstate NY.

Unlike you, I am a fan of The End. Took me somewhere, lol.

Even if you're one of the three people on the planet who absolutely hates the Beatles, you have to give them credit for using their popularity to change things like the multiple versions of records for different countries. Because of the concept of the album they insisted it be released in the same version worldwide at the same time.
