Craig you made an excellent case for 1967! The jury returns a verdict of sold on debuts of Doors, Procal Harum, Big Brother, and Aretha on Atlantic! First time viewer, but looking forward to more insightful music videos!

Absolutely THE BEST YEAR EVER!!! People born in 1967, like myself, have an extra dose of creativity and intellect.

Good stuff ! Was looking up some old favorite albums I used to have and a lot of them did drop in '67, quite a year. The Velvet Underground and Nico, Van Morrison's "TB Sheets", Cat Steven's first album "Mathew and Son", Dylan's "John Wesley Harding"..not a lot of people heard the Velvet Underground then and nobody heard Bob Dylan and the Band record "The Basement Tapes" that year..my favorite was the Moodies' "Days of Future Past" for sure

Have you ever read David Hepworth's terrific book '1971 - Never A Dull Moment'? He makes a pretty good case for that year being the greatest in rock.

@@tonybates7870 Wow. Oh I will be reading that; seriously appreciate the recommendation! To be fair, the music speaks for itself in '71. Definitely a top 3 year! 🤘😉

@tonybates7870 Ай бұрын

@@vinylrecordplayer When you look at the albums released in 1971 it becomes pretty convincing. Stones, Doors, Who, Beach Boys, Rod Stewart, Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, David Bowie, Marvin Gaye, Sly Stone, Led Zeppelin, T. Rex were all at the peak of their powers and all released classic albums that year.

Such an excellent video revisiting the 1967 music scene. You certainly have made a strong case for it being the best year ever for music. Great to see the amazing Scott Walker featured along with Al Green's early presence in the non-gospel music world.

1967 is probably when I first started to notice music - I was 4 😮. Yeah I remember Whiter Shade of Pale on radio and TV , that intro really hooked me. Also for me Gladys Knight and the Pips “Take me in your Arms and Love Me” and of course Sgt Pepper. My aunty had a copy and I would sit for ages looking at that cover. Yes I have to agree 67 is definitely one of the best years in music! 👍

To add...it was the peak of the Boogaloo period in New York. Some of the best Northern Soul was from this year. The soul labels like Stax and Motown were cranking out some of their best stuff. Psychedelic Music started with 13th Floor Elevators in late 1966. "Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators"? Garage Bands were at their peak, as well, at least in the opinion of most collectors. Debut of a great English band called TRAFFIC. Van Morrison's 1st album was 1967, as was Pink Floyd's.

Excellent points. Not gonna say which of Craig's choices should be dumped, but the two you mention are definite, unquestionable musts for any summation of the blockbusters of 1967, that monster year for rock music and the youth/counterculture movement. Good job.

Good sound reasoning behind your statemt,Craig/I was just thinking myself if 1967 more or less/First of all,Well.George Harrison said it best..It was the year that they invented marijuana.. But what did it for me was hearing The Doors Strange Days Album..I knew from that moment on/music would never be the same again..no more teenybopper/bubblegum..whatever People called top 40 am foder..Yeah The Doors/especially "Moonlight Drive".. Holy What the heck!

1967 was a great year for me and I wouldn't be who I am today without it. The only thing about it is I just don't remember it well. No, I wasn't higher than a kite or anything like that. I was being born in the beginning of that year haha. I do have a picture of myself from either 1967 or maybe 1968. I'm laying on a bed wearing diapers with a set of brown Koss headphones on. Again, I don't remember that but it makes sense to me 😂 Brian in Fort Worth,, 🎶

@bradmoore7971 Ай бұрын

Good Vidéo. Actually every year from the late 60’s-late-70's could be the best. In terms of album released, my top two would be 1973 and 1975

Oh, this'll be a series, Brad. My years are probably 71 and 72. But I'm gonna go through them, or my name isn't Craig Danger! 🤘😁

Consider it held. And I can definitely make a strong case for that.

Music is subjective. If you gauge by the music changing, or influential albums, it isn’t always a good thing. IMO when the music changed to auto tuned, click drums and sampling it got far worse. Some people like that music and would think that year was the best. Each their own.

@izzytoons Ай бұрын

Yes. Rick Beato does a good job on his channel of presenting the difficulty with appreciating many current so-called musical artists disguising their lack of musicianship with technology, including, as you mention, auto-tuning, click drums, and sampling. They say auto-tuning is sometimes used for effect, like using a wah wah pedal or something, but overall it's just a mask for "artists" who can't sing or play instruments. Computer generated instrumentation. And then you've got the fact that so many more today than ever are loners. The technology allows them to be one man bands, and they'd rather do that than work through the creative collaboration, and the trials and tribulations of people working together. Last, the song-writing, few of today's "artists" write their songs. Basically, today's work is largely derivative of computer products and writing teams. These "artists" are talented computer technicians, not musicians. There are exceptions, of course--Billie Eilish perhaps being the biggest--but most are taking lyrics and music off the shelf and, well, it is certainly reasonable to question (or even dismiss) many performers who have emerged in recent years. Point well taken.

Keep on dreaming! Never will another year pass 1967! Name then reasons why 1979 was so great??? The world was in crisis then, surely in the Uk, where the punks rised against the fascist governments.
