- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- It was the Summer of Love, hippies were taking over Haight Ashbury, things were getting psychedelic and bands were spending more and more time in the studio.
There was so much great music made in 1967 but we've made our picks for the best album of the year.
Jason, Joe, and Kramzer each choose their favorite of the year and give 4 runners up each. How do our picks compare to yours? Please let us know in the comments what your favorite albums of this monumental year are. Take a stab at guessing our favorite albums of 1968, if you feel so inclined.
As always, thanks for watching!
67 is a tough year to do a top five, but I am surprised no one mentioned Love's Forever Changes.
I know that is an unbelievable oversight. Forever Changes is the best record of the decades.
1 Love - Forever Changes
2 Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced?
3 Velvet Underground --- Velvet Underground & Nico
4 The Doors- The Doors
5 The Who - The Who Sell Out (their best record for me)
6 Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour
@@oppothumbs1 I agree with you, forever changes is at least number 2 on my list
Totally. Whether they like it or not, it was definitely an important album and should have been mentioned.
Agreed, should be on a list. Cream and Airplane also strong in 67!
Love does not get enough love...
Forever Changes. An absolute classic
1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles
2. Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles
3. The Velvet Underground and Nico - The Velvet Underground

5. Donovan - Gift From a Flower to a Garden
4. Rolling Stones - Between the Buttons
3. Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed
2. Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour
1. Beatles - Sgt Pepper
Nice to see 'A Gift from a Flower to a Garden' on your list. I considered that one as well, but sadly had to omit it from my final five.

My top 5:
5. Between the Buttons (U.S.) - The Rolling Stones
4. Younger than Yesterday - The Byrds
3. Strange Days - The Doors
2. John Wesley Harding - Bob Dylan
1. Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
I agree with you totally, so many great debut albums in '67, it's hard to choose. But for me there's only one choice for No. 1 and that's The Velvet Underground and Nico, such ground breaking sounds and lyrics, and still sounding as fresh now as it did then. I'd also give "Scott" by Scott Walker a shout, a great album and his first solo outing post Walker Brothers.
I relistened to my list and gave actual scores. I also added 5 albums to my list based on your lists. Two of those, The Who and Left Banke, ended up as top ten. The Left Banke would have scored higher but I couldn't really take the harpsicord on a lot of the songs. I love every song on Sgt. Peppers but there are two on MMT that I don't love so it made their order easy for me
1) Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles 5
2) The Doors - The Doors 5
3) Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles 5
4) Are You Experienced - Jimi Hendrix Experience 5
5) Disraeli Gears - Cream 4
6) The Who Sell Out - The Who 3.5
7) Piper At The Gates Of Dawn - Pink Floyd 3.5
8) Buffalo Springfield Again - Buffalo Springfield 3.5
9) Walk Away Renee/Pretty Ballerina - The Left Banke 3.5
10) Surrealistic Pillow - Jefferson Airplane 3.5
Dont... like... the harpsichord?????! - Joe
@@TastesLikeMusic lol. Even in that music class I had to take in college.
I agree with Joe and Jason. Magical Mystery Tour is one of my favorite albums. Are you Experienced is a good choice though.
5- Moody Blues --- Days of Future Passed
4- The Beatles --- Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
3- The Velvet Underground --- The Velvet Underground & Nico
2- Cream --- Disraeli Gears
1- Jimi Hendrix --- Are You Experienced
Nice to see Days of Future Passed...a landmark album for the Rock/Prog genre.
Interesting to hear your summary of that year. The majority of people however did neither live in San Francisco nor in New York nor in swinging London. So what you told in the video is as much of history to most of us as it is to those who were already listening to music in the year itself. There was no internet and rock music was neither on TV nor much yet played on the radio, at least not in my country.
1. The Doors - debut
2. Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced
3. Kinks - Something Else
4. Velvet Underground & Nico
5. Aretha Franklin - I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You
Most of the 67 albums are discoveries I made in later years however (not too much later though), it was still a lot of 45s or compilations for me instead of already buying whole albums.
Five that weren’t mentioned, but deserve recognition:
1. Buffalo Springfield Again
2. Disraeli Gears-Cream
3. Strange Days-The Doors
4. Days of Futures Past- Moody
5. Piper at the Gates of Dawn- Pink Floyd
Buffalo Springfield Again is just the perfect album. It should be on the top five of 1967.
Moody Blues is an extremely successful band that people forget for some reason. Fantastic band
Tremendously strong year, one of the most important years in Rn'R history.
5. Are You Experienced? - The Jimi Hendrix Experience
4. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles
3. The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn - Pink Floyd
2. The Velvet Underground & Nico - The Velvet Underground
1. The Doors - The Doors
Good stuff gentlemen!! Damn I was born in a pretty solid music year. 🤟😉
was born 67. wish iwas 20 years or something.
absolute brilliant year!!
Jasons choice for country in that era is interesting..
have to check it out
i think that you all
know the debutalbum of Moby Grape?
westcoast a brilliant mix of country, rock n roll soul some jazzy and of course psychedelic influences in short compact songs.
second album of Buffalo Springfieldis also very nice but not coherent, a sort of Deja Vu from 67.
i think this two albums can compare with Surrealistic Pillow from the Airplane but thats amatter of taste
have yet discovered the channel, already addicted !!
its great !! greetings from Netherlands.
This year was like pulling teeth. So many great albums left off. I was going to disqualify Magical Mystery Tour since it was originally released as a double ep in England. However, in America they got the 11 song album that year so it's fair to count it. It is the ultimate psychedelic album in my opinion. Piper and Pepper were released on the same day. In terms of psychedelia, Piper makes Pepper look almost look like child's play. Both are masterpieces but Pepper has slightly better songs. I only left Pepper off the list because I already had a Beatles album at number 1.
5) The Velvet Underground and Nico - The Velvet Underground
4) The Doors - The Doors
3) Piper at the Gates of Dawn - Pink Floyd
2) Are You Experienced? - Jimi Hendrix
1) Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles
How about Love-Forever Changes?
The best!
1. The Beatles- Magical mystery tour
2. Jimi Hendrix- Are you experienced?

What a hard year! So many great albums. I never loved a man the way I love you and Surrealistic Pillow hurt to not have in the top 5. Not having something else on there hurts my soul.
My favorite year ever for music. This one was tough.
5. Days Of Future Passed - The Moody Blues

1. Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles

2. "Axis: Bold As Love" by Jimi Hendrix Experience
3. "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" by The Beatles
4. "Wild Honey" by The Beach Boys
5. "Disraeli Gears" by Cream
A watershed year in music, to my taste there is everything before 1967 and then everything after, and for me this is driven by my #1 from that year.
5 - Sgt Pepper's Lonley Hearts Club Band - The Beatles
4 - Days of Future Past - The Moody Blues
3 - The Doors - The Doors
2 - Disreali Gears - Cream
1 - Are You Experienced - The Jimi Hendrix Experience
As much as many folks chalk up Sgt Peppers and the ground breaking album, for me and my taste in music, Are You Experienced was a watershed moment
If it was the US version of Are You Experienced it would have won for me. - Joe
@@TastesLikeMusic
Both UK and US versions were released in 1967, I believe. Perhaps there being no definitive release version for that year excludes it from consideration?
1. The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico
2. Love - Forever Changes
3. The Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed
4. The Beach Boys - Wild Honey
5. The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour
These top 4 are all in my top 100 albums of all time!
1. Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced
2. The Doors - (debut album)
3. Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed
4. The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
5. The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour
Moody blues is my favourite lp that year 👍
5. The Who: "The Who Sell Out"
4. The Velvet Underground: "The Velvet Underground & Nico"
3. The Beatles: "Magical Mystery Tour"
2. The Jimi Hendrix Experience: "Are You Experienced?"
1. THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE: "AXIS: BOLD AS LOVE"
Absolutely pivotal year, as noted in the clip. Rock would never be the same after 1967, quickening in complexity and expressiveness, and the youthful counterculture, the engine of so much of this evolution of taste, emerged in force at this time. So many great works had to be passed over to arrive at a mere five, but I think all these represent high points of this groundbreaking year. All selections listed in alphabetical order by title:
--'Axis: Bold as Love' by the Jimi Hendrix Experience (most would probably rank 'Are You Experienced' by this ensemble higher, but this succeeding 1967 release contains my favorite Hendrix track, the wistfully beautiful "Little Wing")
--'Days of Future Passed' by the Moody Blues (ambitious, atmospheric outing by a key band of the era, rock aspiring to the refinement and sweep formerly the preserve of classical music, with "Nights in White Satin" becoming a signature number for this group)
--'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' by the Beatles (essential to any list of top albums for 1967, a landmark achievement and enduring classic)
--'Songs of Leonard Cohen' by Leonard Cohen (wonderful debut from one of Canada's finest artists, with concluding track "One of Us Cannot Be Wrong" devastating in its piercing beauty)
--'The Velvet Underground & Nico' [self-titled collaboration] (stunning debut from this assortment of talent, with most every song a standout, especially the track "Heroin", overwhelming in its desperate intensity)
1. Sgt Pepper
2. Songs of Leonard Cohen
3. Days of future passed
4. The Piper at the gates of dawn
5. The Doors
Though somewhere in there Magical Mystery Tour should be, even if it isn't a "proper" Beatles album
#1 The Doors - The Doors
2. Jimi Hendrix - Axis: Bold as Love
3. The Who - The Who Sell Out
4. Cream - Disraeli Gears
5. Bob Dylan - John Wesley Harding
1. Love - Forever Changes
2. Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced?
3. Rolling Stones - Between the Buttons
4. Doors - Strange Days
5. Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour
6. Kinks - Something Else
I know I’m in the minority, but I don’t find this year that strong. There are a bunch of important records, but important doesn’t equal great. Sgt. Pepper embodies this. That second side drags until we get to “A Day in the Life,” and songs like “Fixing a Hole” and “When I’m Sixty-Four” just grate me.
10. the Doors
9. Disraeli Gears
8. John Wesley Harding
7. Their satatnic Majesties request
6. The velvet underground + Nico
5. Axis: Bold as Love
4. Strange Days
3. Sgt. Peppers
2. Are you experienced
1. Magical Mystery Tour
St range days is my number 1
In reference to the roots of hard rock and eventually heavy metal, Link Wray must definitely be mentioned. Even someone like Eddie Cochran experimented a lot on the studio and was way ahead of his time. It would have been interesting to see what he had come up with if he had lived longer.
Anyway, here we go:
1. Pink Floyd - Piper at the gates of dawn
( my référence is the UK issue but the US issue includes the awesome "see Emily play")
2. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are you experienced
(the US issue is better than the UK one in this case)
3. Cream- Disraeli gears
4. Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic pillow
5. Buffalo Springfield - - Again
I forgot
Small Faces - There are bu four small faces
and
Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground & Nico
These two should replace pos 4 & 5
I am 64. The music of 1967 is holy to me in the past year. I keep playing like The Guess Who, The Who, The Rascals.
I didn't list these bands in my top 5, but easily could have listed Guess Who.
I'll cheat a bit and do my top 5 artists of 1967:
1. Jimi Hendrix Experience: Are You Experienced / Axis: Bold As Love
2. The Beatles: Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band / Magical Mystery Tour
3. The Rolling Stones: Between The Buttons / Flowers / Their Satanic Majesties Request
4. The Doors: The Doors / Strange Days
5. Pink Floyd: Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
Flowers was a US compilation made up of mostly singles and older songs. Some tracks lifted from Between the Buttons and Aftermath. I love it but it's a compilation not an album. My Girl is a weak track.
I really wonder how younger listeners like you guys came by your appreciation of the music of my time.
1. Surrealistic Pillow - Airplane's best ever
2. Are You Experienced - Jimi's best ever
3. Disraeli Gears - Cream's best ever
4. Sgt. Peppers
5. Again by Buffalo Springfield
A lot of credit goes to my mother and father for having good taste. - Joe
what makes this year really hard is that so many seminal acts released more than one album in the same year. I count 12+ runners up, so this time I'll just list my top 5:
1. Safe As Milk - Captain Beefheart (his Magic Band featured Ry Cooder at this time)
2. Axis: Bold As Love - Jimi Hendrix (I like it just a little more than the debut)
3. After Bathing at Baxter's - Jefferson Airplane (really?! over Surrealistic Pillow? yup)
4. Ptoof! - The Deviants (an underrated classic, and I go back to this one a ton)
5. The Time Has Come Today - The Chambers Bros (the title track is my favorite psychedelic song. ever. period)
so many others that I listen to regularly that it pained me not to put them higher, but 1967 was the Summer of Love after all. an explosive year for rock music
Favourite 1967 Released Albums, at the moment:
• The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Are You Experienced
• The Velvet Underground: The Velvet Underground & Nico
• The Moody Blues: Days of Future Passed
• Jefferson Airplane: After Bathing at Baxter's
• Donovan: A Gift from a Flower to a Garden
Fully on board with the Magical Mystery Tour love.

Greetings from Canary Islands
Nice choice Jason and Joe with Mystery Tour. Bravo
Basically the year of The Beatles, The Doors and Jimi Hendrix for me as far as top 5. The first two Doors albums are my favorites (with Strange Days slightly over the debut), Are You Experienced is my favorite Hendrix, and both Beatles albums would possibly be my top 2 as well. I used to prefer MMT over Sgt. Pepper’s but now it’s the reverse (“Within You Without You” in particular was a key song that really grew on me a lot).
Old guy here. I think Magical Mystery Tour IS better than Sgt. Pepper’s… Thought so then, think so now. Good work.
Hey nobody mentioned the mind-blowing psych of Blue Jay Way. Anyway great choices as those debuts were all smashing!
Love almost every Album from 67: all that you mentioned are "SUPERB"! Maybe if Sgt. Pepper's and Magical Mystery Tour were a double album it would be the GREATEST ALBUM EVER? But I Love so many others from that year! I must admit: Surrealistic Pillow has always had a "SPECIAL PLACE" in my Heart, I'll go with that!
1. Surrealistic Pillow
2. Magical Mystery Tour
3. Gift from a Flower to a Garden
4. Velvet and Nico
5. bold as love
or disralie gears, piper at the gates, the doors etc
1. s/t - The Doors

3. Are You Experienced - Jimi Hendrix
4. Again - Buffalo Springfield

8. I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You - Aretha Franklin
9. Easter Everywhere - 13th Floor Elevators
10. The Velvet Underground & Nico - The Velvet Underground
11. Ode to Billie Joe - Bobbie Gentry
i thought disraeli gears came out n '68....?
I'm glad one of you gave Leonard Cohen's "Songs Of Leonard Cohen" a shout out. For me it has to be Disraeli Gears by Cream, ahead of Are You Experienced?, The Who Sell Out and Something Else By The Kinks. I also prefer Mystery Tour to Sgt. Peppers, but I do consider it a compilation album and therefore a cheat to have it at No. 1.
I agree that 1967 was the best year in music history. TWO classic albums each by The Beatles, The Doors, and the Rolling Stones. Classic albums by The Who, Love, The Moody Blues, The Velvet underground, Cream . . . etc etc
two albums by Hendrix too
5. Cream - Disraeli Gears
4. The Who - Sell Out
3. The Doors - Strange Days
2. The Doors - The Doors
1. Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Honorable Mention
Bob Dylan - John Wesely Hardening.

This was definitely the toughest year to date. I thought sgt peppers would be my winner but when listening to albums back to back there are too many songs on sgt peppers that are a bit middle of the road when compared to these other albums - when I’m 64 bring a prime example
1. Are you experienced

3. The doors
4. Sgt peppers
5. Axis bold as love
6. John Wesley Harding
7. Songs of Leonard Cohen
8. Magical mystery tour

2) The Doors - The Doors
1)The Velvet Underground & Nico - The Velvet Underground & Nico
Sgt. Peppers....no one else is even in the ballpark!
Safe As Milk was better.
Look out now!
5. "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" by The Beatles
The beginning of the record is great and so is the end but the middle has some wearker moments I believe.
4. "United" by Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
A very beautiful and almost fun album with soul/pop duets. Time always flies by fast when I listen to this one and I want more... Which is a good sign!
3. "Hip-Hug Her" by Booker T. & the M.G.'s
A instrumental rn'b album that screams summer-time for me. I highly recommend putting this on one beautiful summer day. Feel free to thank me later on!
2. "The Doors" - The Doors
Perhaps the best album at the first try. Several iconic tracks and an overall enjoyable experience as a whole.
1. "Are You Experienced" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience
I am not 100 % keen on all the psychedelic things but it was a game changer wasn't it? Put on the bonus-tracks that came later on and it got even better!
If it was the US version it would have been number 1 for me. - Joe
1. Sgt. Pepper
2. Piper
3. Forever Changes
4. VU & Nico
5. The Doors
1. Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles
2. Are You Experienced - The Jimi Hendrix Experience
3. Velvet Underground and Nico - The Velvet Underground
4. Disraeli Gears - Cream
5. The Doors - The Doors
1) SGT PEPPER - Beatles; 2) MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR - Beatles; 3) I NEVER LOVED A MAN THE WAY I LOVE YOU - Aretha Franklin; 4) 1ST - Bee Gees; 5) SOMETHING ELSE - Kinks
I'm with Kramzer on this one. Jimi for the win, with The Doors debut close behind. I have a feeling these lists are going to get increasingly difficult for at least the next 15 years. I can't remember if you mentioned it, but are you going to do an album of the year through 2019? Cheers!
That is the plan. Actually, through 2020, because by the time we get there this year will be over.
1) Forever changes (Love)
2) Sergeant pepper's lonely hearts club band (beatles)
3) The Piper at the gates of dawn (pink floyd)
4) The Who sell out (the who)
5) The doors (the doors)
6) Magical mistery tour (beatles)
7) between the buttons (rolling stones)
8) something else by the kinks The kinks)
9) disraeli gears (cream)
10) axis: bold as love (Jimi Hendrix experience)
10 more until 20 (without any order) :
Surrealistic pillow (jefferson airplane) /// Are you experienced (Jimi hendrix experience) /// Strage days (the doors) /// Electric music for the mind and body (Country joe and the fish) /// Moby Grape (Moby Grape) /// Younger than yesterday (The Byrds) /// Buffalo springfield again (buffalo springfield) /// the velvet underground and Nico (velvet underground) /// the songs of leonard cohen (leonard cohen) /// Safe as milk (captain beefheart and the magic band)
It was released in the US so I consider Magical Mystery Tour an album.
The US version was indeed an album, and so merits consideration for any 1967 listing of LPs.
So much great music in '67. More debuts Sly, The Bonzos, Beefheart with a young Ry Colder, Al Green and Van Eddie Floyd, Otis and Carla and on and on. Rounding out a Top10 in no particular order, Songs of Leonard Cohen, Magical Mystery Tour, The Who sell out, Between the Buttons and:
5) Sgt. Pepper
4) I Never Loved a Man...
3) Are You Experienced
2) Velvet Underground & Nick
1) Forever Changes
Oh can't forget Younger than Yesterday, Axis: Bold as Love and Buffalo Springfield Again with full version of Bluebird. Oh geez also Moby Grape great album.
Forever changes is my favorite album ever

You guys never mentioned my favorite.. Love - Forever Changes
I’ve never been able to get into it myself. - Joe
Was 67 the greatest year in music? Maybe there are a few more years as good as this one, but 67 has the edge because it came first and there were so many important and excellent albums released that year. Albums like Forever Changes, Sgt. Pepper, Strange Days, Axis Bold As Love, Between The Buttons, Piper at the Gates of Dawn would be at the top on any other year.
As it is, I am with Jason and Joe. My favourite album is Magical Mystery Tour (maybe it's cheating, but what an unbeatable collection of songs).
Runners up are: Velvet Underground and Nico, Are You Experienced (US version), The Doors and Sophisticated Beggar (the debut by Roy Harper, one of my favourite artists).
A contender for the greatest year of all time for albums,
Contenders for top 5 would include The Doors (The Doors and Strange Days),
Jefferson Airplane Surrealistic Pillow,
The Rolling Stones Their Satanic Majesties Request,
The Byrds Younger Than Yesterday,
Jimi Hendrix Are You Experienced, Axis/Bold As Love
Tim Buckley Goodbye and Hello,
The Beach Boys Smiley Smile,
Bob Dylan John Wesley Harding,
Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band Safe As Milk,
My top 5 are
5 Jefferson Airplane After Bathing At Baxter's
4 Pink Floyd Piper At the Gates of Dawn
3 Love Forever Changes
2 The Beatles Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
NUMBER ONE: VELVET UNDERGROUND AND NICO
If I had to pick only five albums:
1) Sgt Pepper's--Beatles
2) Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd--Monkees
3) Are You Experienced?-Hendrix Experience
4) The Who Sell Out--The Who
5) Live: Ravi Shankar at the Monterey Pop Festival
In preparation for the 1967 SOTY list, I also did this AOTY list.
(Honourable Mentions: Nico - Chelsea Girl, The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour)
1. The Beach Boys - Smiley Smile [Almost as good as ‘Pet Sounds’ for me. A friend of mine even likes this album more than ‘Pet Sounds’.]
2. The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band [The Beatles’ masterpiece.]
3. The Velvet Underground & Nico - The Velvet Underground & Nico [This week I listened to this for the first time. Amazing album.]

4. "Forever Changes" Love
3. "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band" Beatles
2. "Magical Mystery Tour" Beatles
1. "The Velvet Underground & Nico" The Velvet Underground
This is literally my top 5 out of order

1. The Doors

@@mr.mojorisin6341 you are right on i have surrealistic pillow strange days pipers at the gates of dawn disraeli gears and the grateful dead
Forever Changes and Something Else by The Kinks but agreed MMT is the best
Tough year, for sure. Any of these could probably be #1.
1. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Axis: Bold as Love
2. The Doors - S/T
3. The Velvet Underground & Nico
4. The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour
5. The Rolling Stones - Between the Buttons
Love the Beatles, but I always thought Sgt. Peppers was overrated. The production is great, but the songs are a let down after Revolver. Probably not in my top 5 Beatles albums.
I think Pepper is my 4th or 5th fave Beatles album, but easily makes a top 5 for me. Leonard Cohen and Velvet U and Nico are other great albums. Oh and another commenter reminded me of Forever Changes
I think that Magical Mystery Tour is more a "greatest hits" more than an album. But there are there great songs.
Yeah, Magical Mystery Tour is mainly a singles compilation rather than an album of original material.
10. Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention - Absolutely Free
9. The Rolling Stones - Between the Buttons
8. Simon & Garfunkel - Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
7. Pink Floyd - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
6. Cream - Disraeli Gears
5. The Beatles - Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
4. Leonard Cohen - Songs of Leonard Cohen
3. Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced?
2. Jimi Hendrix - Axis: Bold As Love
1. The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico
1. The Velvet Underground & Nico 2. Something Else The Kinks 3. The Doors 4. Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band The Beatles 5. Jefferson Airplane, 'Surrealistic Pillow'
Chain of fools is useful!
Sgt.Peppers - The Beatles, Piper at the Gates of Dawn- Pink Floyd, Flowers Rolling Stones, Younger than Yesterday- The Byrds, Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced? Bob Dylan- John Wesley Harding, Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles, Between the Buttons- the Rolling Stones, Disraeli Gears- The Cream, Pink Floyd- , The Who - Who Sell Out
If Brian Wilson had been able to pull it off, "Smile" by Beach Boys would have been #1 by a mile...
Honorable Mention: Bee Gee's 1st Album, Monkees - Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Jimi Hendrix - Axis: Bold As Love, Cream - Disraeli Gears, Harry Nilsson - Pandemonium Shadow Show, The Left Banke - Walk Away Renee/Pretty Ballerina:
5- Velvet Underground --- Velvet Underground & Nico

2- Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour
1- Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Younger than yesterday jesus I forgot about an LP🤣
For me Forever Changes is the best followed very closely by the velvet underground.
That must make Beach Boys 20 Golden Greats the best album of all time and superior to Pet Sounds
After Bathing at Baxters
