These seven “must hear” albums really tell you a lot about what 1967 means in the history of rock music and it means quite a bit. The Beatles, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, The Velvet Underground, Pink Floyd, & Frank Zappa’s The Mothers of Invention are the bands that created these albums. These are without a doubt some of the most important rock bands ever. Amazingly four of the 7 albums I’m including in my list are debut albums by some of the most legendary bands in history of rock music. I think that’s a good indication of just what a breakthrough year 1967 really was. Who are those four bands? Pink Floyd (who were known as The Pink Floyd at the time), The Velvet Underground, The Doors, and The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Pretty amazing, isn’t it?
