I have recently listened a lot of albums released in 1967 and find them all great! There came a document "It was twenty years ago" from Finland television in 1987 & since then I have thought 1967 was very important year in music. But still I have been suprised how many great albums has released then I´ve ever heard before. Of course the most of the great albums has made in the period of 1965-1975, but I think the most creative peak was in 1967. There has come great artists after 1975 ( such as Sonic Youth, Nick Cave, P.J. Harvey, Kate Bush, Jon Spencer & John Parish) but the commonly music has gone to the worse direction after 1975. Of course there has made "candy"-albums also in 1967 (I have had no interest to listen Petula Clark).

Jacques Brel - Le dernier concert (Roubaix 1967)

here's a clip of Jimi playbacking on Belgian TV. I know, not an album but still cool:
Jimi Hendrix Stone Free & Hey Joe Tienerklanken TV show (1967)



not so sure if there was any worthy music in Holland that time, all I could find was this:

Child Singing Star Heintje Simons, Age 12, Sings "Mama" 1967

This is really great! Never heard this man before, but saw just Ediath Piaf-document & thought I must listen her. It seems Brel has made also studio album in 1967, have to listen it also. Wikipedia says David Bowie & Leonard Cohen have listened him, I think Cave has also.

Good piece. Jimi had also a gig in Helsinki, but unfortunately this is only piece from it (not music in it):

Really funny! Well, it seems "the spirit of 67" came many countries little bit later than 67, but this has made in 67, it´s from Holland:

Some funny thing from Finland 1967:

if you want to listen to Brel, I recommend the live shows over his albums, at least that's what I listen to most. Some links:
A BBC documentary: Jacques Brel - Legends (Documentaire BBC - 2007)
it's quite well explained in the documentary why his live shows were so impressive, so I won't be doing it.
My favourites are his (two?) live albums at the Olympia in Paris. One is on youtube (as actual movie): Jacques Brel - Les adieux à l'Olympia ( 1966 )
but my all time favourite is the one from 1964, it should be possible to find that as single tracks on youtube. It was in high rotation in my car for a very long time (that's about five years ago).

this is also a very good quality vid:
Jacques Brel in concert (1964)(in Netherlands)
1967 is not his best year probably either, he was burnt out already. He was doing farewell tours in 1966 and 1967.

Damn, and now that we're talking about the French music. Here's another legend. This was also 1967:
Brigitte Bardot & Serge Gainsbourg - Je t'aime ,moi non plus
That song is very cheesy and therefor totally underrated, but check out some of his other work, he's so good. This one for instance from 1971:

Histoire De Melody Nelson
you can probably look up the English translation somewhere
One of my all time favourite classic albums, together with Crosby Stills Nash & Young, and all their solo efforts from around that time





Oh the Outsiders. Cool, are they known in your country? I don't really know them, Wally Tax (the singer) is (was?) a famous name over here, but I never listened to him.

you pretty much nailed it with this list but 1967 was not the musical creative peak of anything. yes, most popular genres at the time evolved into something more mature and definite, but maybe 71 to 75 can claim to be the worst just like from 96 to 2000. in my opinion. another high peak is between 2001 and 2010 and we're currently going through some greasy shit hole now where 'pop' seems to be interesting and everything else bores.

yeah. motown, soul, james brown, the doors, VU, the stones, beatles, captain beefheart pretty much set everything into place.

most of my favorite albums are between the years of 76 to 94. or whats most commonly known for me as the post punk years. i mean where would the world be without the Ramones or Devo or Kraftwerk, SY, Pixies, Black Flag, Joy Division, Wire, late 70's David Bowie, early hip hop? theres a shit load of tremedously influential records between said time. 67 has too much fluff and hippy fiippy junk( as yr list shows) and not very realistic as the late 70's and 80's. it's all irrelevant anyway.

Thanx for your recommendations! I will listen them! But I think I also listen that studio album, because I really love artists studios, specially 1967 made studio-albums! Well, I don´t think Outsiders are known in Finland, that album just came to me, when I listened other 1967 albums in youtube.

I don´t think any of bands you named has done anything that had already done in 65-75. I really love Sy & Joy Division, but I don´t think they´ve added much for that what Velvet Underground, Stooges, MC5, 13th Floor Elevators & Red Crayola had already done. Well synths hadn´t invented in 67, but I think I would be glad if they´ve never invented. And even you think there are too much junk in my list, I really enjoyed listen all of them. And I think this is first hip-hop song and never bothered much what has came after this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KngOuqUm-mQ

[foreverasskiss]

snyths added new textures and sounds. it would be sad if they weren't invented.

the 60's were amazing yea and the early 70's had king crimson, krautrock, the stooges, and black sabbath.

i've never heard introducing the Sonics or a Strawberry Alarm clock album and would imagine both to be gross but then again i have a bad habit of doing this.

to each their own Mortte Jousimo. i can't sleep.

Please try, sleeping is one of my favourite hobbies (Sometimes I also have difficulties in it, it´s ugly).

.

Finally I have had time to watch your recommendations. I have become huge Brel-fan in a short time! Also listened that 1967-album, its also amazing, not a sign of burnout in it! I think it´s really unbelievable how he made it in his time, because he was quite ahead of his time! But he just seemed to be in a right Place in right time. Of course he´s not still as known in the whole world as he deserved. Naturally I didn´t understand any of his words, but that doesn´t bother me at all.

Gainsbourg´s J´taime is really too cheesy to me. I have heard quite young that awful Donna Summer 15-minutes version, so I just can´t take serious it. Also there is awful Finnish joke version from that. BUT that Histoire De Melody Nelson is just great!!! I really loved the music and also that 70ties naive short movie! Going to watch & listen it again!

[Mortte Jousimo]

Just found this really great album from 1967:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rrb96L63XSU

She has been Kate Bush of sixties! Really shame her first album is not in Spotify or Youtube.
