The list author says:
	"Arguably the greatest LP of all time, this album shook the world when it was released in June of '67.  Flawless in every way."

The list author says:
	"Jimi Hendrix' debut album and an instant classic when it was released 8/67.  This is one of the greatest rock recordings in history with songs like "Purple Haze" and "Hey Joe".  Awesome in every way."

The list author says:
	"Cream's second album, released on 12/1/67 is also one of the greatest albums of all time.  "Sunshine of Your Love", "Tales of Brave Ulysses", and "Strange Brew" made heroes of Clapton, Baker, & Bruce."

The list author says:
	"The debut of The Doors and the beginning of a legend (Jim Morrison).  Simply a great album with numbers like "Light My Fire" and "Break on Through".  A classic indeed."

The list author says:
	"Again one of the best LPs ever recorded, this is Syd Barrett's masterpiece.  Released on August 5, 1967."

The list author says:
	"Released in February, before the Summer of Love began, this LP brought Bay area music to the forefront of American rock.  "White Rabbit" & "Plastic Fantastic Lover" are among the gems."

The list author says:
	"Aretha Franklin is an American treasure and this LP is one of her best.  It features one of the greatest songs in rock history, "Respect"."

The list author says:
	"Procol's debut, released in August, introduced us, albeit with subtlety, to a future guitar hero, Robin Trower.  Keith Reid's lyrics are wonderful."

The list author says:
	"While certainly not the best Beatles album, this November release is largely ignored.  However, with classics like "Strawberry Fields", "Hello Goodbye", and "I am the Walrus" it is a GREAT LP."

The list author says:
	"The Dead's March '67 debut album that started the legendary career of one of the most beloved groups in rock history."

The list author says:
	"Another debut for a Bay area band, this album launched the storied career of Janis Joplin."

The list author says:
	"Some have called Vanilla Fudge the genesis of heavy metal bands, though I don't necessarily agree.  This debut album features the classic "You Keep Me Hanging On", one of the best songs in history."

The list author says:
	"The debut album of yet another supergroup.  After leaving Spencer Davis to co-found Traffic, Steve Winwood, about 18 years old, displayed his many talents as keyboardist, vocalist, and guitarist."

The list author says:
	"The Stones were a major force in 1967 and this LP, while not their best by a long shot, features classics like "Ruby Tuesday" and "Let's Spend the Night Together"."

The list author says:
	"Released during the Summer of Love, this LP features a great Dylan cover (My Back Pages) and "So You Want to be a Rock & Roll Star", a cynical shot at The Monkees."

The list author says:
	"The second of Buffalo Springfield's three albums, this terrific LP features Neil Young's "Mr. Soul" and Steven Still's "Bluebird".  The LP is a precursor to what Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young would be"

The list author says:
	"Containing Ray Davies' masterpiece "Waterloo Sunset",  this LP marked a turning point in the sound and direction of The Kinks."

The list author says:
	"The first LP Dylan released after his motorcycle accident the previous year, this album reflects Dylan's foray into country music.  It includes the classic "All Along the Watchtower"."

The list author says:
	"Another San Francisco-based band, Moby Grape's debut album can be noted for its tight production and absence of filler tracks."

The list author says:
	"The first album from the reconfigured Moody's features such classics as "Nights in White Satin" and "Tuesday Afternoon".  A brilliant concept LP."
