AllMusic Loves 1967
Apr. 10, 2013
It is not hyperbole to say 1967 is the year where everything changed in popular music. After all, it is the year that brought us Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the Beatles LP that redefined what an album could be, changing the perspective not only of the audience (and winning over a significant number of skeptics who had never before taken rock & roll music seriously) but also that of fellow artists who embraced the album as a challenge. But 1967 can't be whittled down to a single album. It was a year where every style of popular music was either at a peak or in the throes of reinvention. Psychedelia hit full flower and, with it, came a masterpiece from Love (Forever Changes) and debuts by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, the Doors, Pink Floyd, Traffic, and Moby Grape. With their debut, the Velvet Underground broke ground on another kind of underground rock (Captain Beefheart also released his first album this year, working a different underground path on a different coast), but to say 1967 was just about rock & roll diminishes this remarkable year. Jazz was fiercely creative as it moved in two different directions, with certain groups going further out and others digging deeper into the groove; with his second great quintet, Miles Davis straddled the line between these two extremes. Blues had a soul explosion, resulting in masterworks by Albert King and Magic Sam. Soul and R&B either got deep and gritty or cool and stylish, producing classics in both veins. Thanks to Bakersfield mavericks like Merle Haggard and Buck Owens, country got progressive and, at the end of the year, Bob Dylan made the first inroads into country-rock with John Wesley Harding. Everybody was taking chances -- even the Monkees, who wrested control long enough to write their own songs and play their own instruments on the terrific Headquarters, one of the many great pop albums from '67. There is too much great music to fit into one single list but that's one of the reasons to love 1967.

Going into 1967, I knew that it'd be a difficult year to narrow down into two lists of 20, but that's primarily because it's the year that brought us Sgt. Pepper, The Velvet Underground & Nico, The Who Sell Out, Forever Changes, Are You Experienced, and The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, among other regular contenders for Best Albums Ever lists. What shocked me was how deep the bench was in every genre and every style. It's a great year for albums -- and not just post-Pepper concept albums, but classic collections of 10 killer songs -- and an astonishing year for singles, filled with lush, symphonic country-pop, cheerful sunshine pop, funky R&B grooves, and anything else you can imagine. These two lists contain the 20 albums and 20 singles that are my current favorites as of April 2013; talk to me in a couple of months and the order may shift, but I'll still love them all, along with much of the music that didn't make the cut. My Spotify list is long and is naturally limited by licensing (no Beatles and no New Vaudeville Band, either), but there's still a bunch of good stuff here.

Going into 1967, I knew that it'd be a difficult year to narrow down into two lists of 20, but that's primarily because it's the year that brought us Sgt. Pepper, The Velvet Underground & Nico, The Who Sell Out, Forever Changes, Are You Experienced, and The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, among other regular contenders for Best Albums Ever lists. What shocked me was how deep the bench was in every genre and every style. It's a great year for albums -- and not just post-Pepper concept albums, but classic collections of 10 killer songs -- and an astonishing year for singles, filled with lush, symphonic country-pop, cheerful sunshine pop, funky R&B grooves, and anything else you can imagine. These two lists contain the 20 albums and 20 singles that are my current favorites as of April 2013; talk to me in a couple of months and the order may shift, but I'll still love them all, along with much of the music that didn't make the cut.
