1967 was a tough year for 19-year-old men and college kids; the Vietnam War draft was in full swing, racial strife was in full bloom, and feminism was changing the way Americans looked at both sexes.
1967 was also a year of experimental behavior, with drugs and rock and roll dominating our daily lives. What were the top rock songs of 1967? You’ll see a few classics below…
The Beatles – ‘Magical Mystery Tour’
The Moody Blues – ‘Days of Future Passed’
Jimi Hendrix – ‘Are You Experienced’
Cream – ‘Fresh Cream’
Moby Grape – ‘Moby Grape’
Jefferson Airplane – ‘Surrealistic Pillow’
Country Joe and Fish – ‘Electric Music for the Mind and Body’
The Who – ‘The Who Sell Out’
The Doors – ‘The Doors’
The Hollies – ‘Evolution’
Observations: Congrats to The Beatles, Doors, Airplane, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, The Hollies and Cream for making it to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Why the Moody Blues haven’t been inducted is beyond the pale. They were great!
