    1967 by far and I mean by far. A simply stunning year for music.

    Lets go through the evidence

    The greatest ever samba album was released that year by Astrud Gilberto called Beach Samba - She of "The Girl From Ipanema" fame.

    Nico released Chelsea Girl

    Probably the most famous album of all time appeared Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. Its not my favourite Beatles record but I think at this stage like many other people that could be down to over familiarity.

    Country Joe and the Fish produced Electric Music for the Mind and Body which is one of the many psychedelic classics released that year.

    Buffalo Springfield released their second album - a band with three great writers and two genuine superstars.

    Moby Grape released their first album - the most under-rated band ever. Never really made it because of being caught with under-age girls, a drugs bust oh and one of the band members was giving the finger on the cover of their albumwhich nobody noticed at the time. Plus their record company made a **** up by releasing five singles at the same time meaning none of them charted.

    Love relased the album De Capo

    The Beau Brummels gave us Traingle

    Tim Bukley who died so early released Goodbye and Hello.
    Love also released Love changes a simply stunning album

    Cream - Disraeli Gears - possibly one of the greatest albums of all time. Sorry I used the word possibly.

    Pink Floyd - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
    The Who- The Who Sell out

    The Velvet Underground -The Velvet Underground and Nico
    The Doors - The Doors
    My favourite group of all time released their best ever album - The Byrds with Younger than Yesterday

    Jefferson Airplane - Surrelistic Pillow - their first (I Think) and best by far album

    Something else by the Kinks

    Donovan - Sunshine Superman
    The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are you Experienced
    Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed
    Velvet Underground _ White Light/White Heat

    And this is a time when the single was king not the album!
