Best albums of 1967

The studio turned into an instrument this year rather than a room you played in, and the overdub became something you built a record around instead of a way to fix a bad take. The Velvet Underground's first album sold almost nothing on release and rearranged everything downstream of it anyway.

According to Riffiter listeners, the best album of 1967 is Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles, rated 4.5/5 by 12 listeners.
