baggienick68 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 There are some years that really stand out for music. For instance 1997 was excellent with OK Computer and many more. For me though 1967 was amazing and unbelievably this music is now 50 years old. Really can't believe it. I would love a little psychedelic club in the SE corner playing some of this stuff. Incense burning, oil wheels etc. Would be great. Or maybe I'm just old. Anyway here is a list of just some of the albums that came out in 1967. Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band – The Beatles The Velvet Underground and Nico – The Velvet Underground and Nico The Doors – The Doors Are You Experienced – Jimi Hendrix Forever Changes – Love The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn – Pink Floyd Songs Of Leonard Cohen – Leonard Cohen Disraeli Gears – Cream Strange Days – The Doors Surrealistic Pillow – Jefferson Airplane Days Of Future Passed – The Moody Blues The Who Sell Out – The Who Safe As Milk – Captain Beefheart Goodbye Hello – Tim Buckley John Wesley Hardin – Bob Dylan Younger Than Yesterday – The Byrds Their Santanic Majesties Request – The Rolling Stones Between The Buttons - The Rolling Stones Absolutely Free – The Mothers Of Invention Buffalo Springfield Again - Buffalo Springfield Smiley Smile – The Beach Boys Moby Grape – Moby Grape After Bathing At Baxters – Jefferson Airplane Mr Fantasy – Traffic Electric Music For Mind And Body – Country Joe And The Fish The 5000 Spirits Or The Layers Of The Onion – The Incredible String Band Miles Smiles – Miles Davis The Grateful Dead – The Grateful Dead A Hard Road – John Mayall And The Bluesbreakers London Conversation – John Martyn Cosmic Tunes For Mental Therapy – Sun Ra David Bowie – David Bowie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Star Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Some absolutely incredible records on that list... saw Arthur Lee & Love do Forever Changes at the Royal Festival Hall in London (the show filmed for the DVD) and it was a wonderful thing. Chose to see some other stuff when they rocked up at Glasto to do it, part of me does regret that but lucky to see him a few times back then.

baggienick68 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Yeah saw Arthur at the Academy in Brum and at Glasto. Was wonderful both times. Forever Changes is a lovely album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomicide Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Loads of people died that year too. If in doubt on a quiz, always answer 1967, it was the 2016 of the 60s. Also the year I was born Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartbert two hats Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Yeah, there was a 2-3 year period centred around 1967 where an astonishing number of stone cold classic albums were recorded. That's quite a list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) I strongly urge anyone who finds themselves with some spare time in London over the next month to check out the Revolution exhibition at the V&A. It's an exhibition that focuses on the cultural changes from about 65 to 69 in music, fashion, film and wider society such as racial issues. They've got John and George's Sgt Pepper coats for example and a huge room dedicated to Woodstock. Went last week, it's really cool.

Will definitely go to the Floyd exhibition though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Not only Are You Experienced, but also Axis: Bold As Love issued the same year, some classics on both albums. Always rated John Wesley Harding as a brilliant and underrated Dylan album, every song is ace. I also love the superb full album cover by Thea Gilmore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Sir Robin Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Greg Wilson has put together 2 Spotify playlists, rock & pop and soul & reggae, of top 50 hit singles, in release order, from 1967. It's incredible to think all of these were in the charts in a single year: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If in doubt on a quiz, always answer 1967, it was the 2016 of the 60s. Also the year I was born I used to go swimming at a fitness centre every morning at 6.30am before going to work. There was an old bloke who swam (and posed) there just like the man above. It was all a little nauseating at that time of the morning to be honest. I suspect it was at other times of the day too, if he was still there. The oldest 'swinger' in town! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
