I was surprised no one has polled this yet. In light of the fact that 1967 is 40 years old now.
These are the titles I have in my collection that were either created or released then.
Most of these are acceptable as progressive to this site, except for Miles Davis.
I think '67 was the year progressive rock really started to coalesce.
Really interested to hear about any albums I don't have but should have listed from 1967.

I won't try to be original or elitist , i'll go with SERGEANT PEPPPERS
there is nothing that i can add that has not been said before; this is THE album!
The DOORS s/t album is a close second though!

Favourite from the list is Safe as Milk.
Parsons Sound which was recorded between 66-68 [a substantial proportion of material from '67], but only saw a double disc release in 2001 on Subliminal Sounds. This record would easily be my pincal album of this proto-era. Probably one of the best/historically important albums in the heavy psych domain. For me this album was far ahead of its times, pathing the way from many of the progresive psych bands of the last 40 years. In particular the Japanese, Finnish and Swedish scenes. Review: http://www.aquariusrecords.org/bin/search.cgi/artist=parson%20sound - http://www.aquariusrecords.org/bin/search.cgi/artist=parson%20sound Another album that played its part in Avant-garde, free improvisation in prog is AMM - AMMMusic ['67]. The album, is one of the first documentations of free from improvisation and noise within the relams of rock. |

I voted for the Ponty album although it is unclear from my research that this is really a completely a 1967 recording or release, the vinyl I have says it is. I suspect that my favorite bits are not. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Whilst Pepper rapidly faded, Love's Forever Changes has become my out and out favourite from the period - most certainly reinforced seeing Arthur Lee perform the timeless music from this album at Leicester a few years back. ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

Well, of those on the list, I would have to say Piper with Days a close second. However, my favorite 1967 album is Jefferson Airplane's After Bathing at Baxter's. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

Pepper!
1967 was the year popular music took whole new directions paved by the albums listed and others. But had The Beatles not participated in the musical experiments, fewer bands would have followed that path.
BTW, Lumpy Gravy was '68.

^ that's an interesting point.. considering how much breakthrough music there was that year - 'Thoughts of Emerlist Davjack', 'Smiley Smile', 'Axis: Bold As Love', many others - it's debatable the impact Sgt. Pepper's had on progressive rock that the Beatle's hadn't already had. I agree the Beatles work before Pepper's was crucial, but by 1967 the impact on Prog was presumably already there, Pepper's influence being more on standard rock and pop more than Prog itself. Emerson, Fripp, Pink Floyd, all had already begun sewing their prog/psych oats before or during 1967. Just a thought.

Wasn't S F Sorrow released that year ? There are some that contend that it was the catalyst for Pete Townshend's Tommy . ------------- "Here I am talking to some of the smartest people in the world and I didn't even notice,” Lieutenant Columbo, episode The Bye-Bye Sky-High I.Q. Murder Case. |

S F Sorrow was released the following year, but still pre-dates Tommy
Grocer Jack (an Excerpt from a Teenage Opera) was relesed in1967 - which could have been the first rock-opera if hadn't taken 29 years to finish.
Kites by Simon Dupree and the Big Sound was also release in1967... ------------- What? |

Excellent - reminded me of some albums I had forgotten about for that watershed year in rock. Because of that, my vote goes to Cream, Disraeli Gears. Such a classic work and (as a drummer) I love Ginger Baker's contribution on that album...
