Simply the best Beatles album and probably the best album of all times! The sound, the atmosphere... just perfect album! 1960s at it's best.

Slightly overrated, but still a legendary album. A great trip to 1960s psychedelia.

The biggest suprise of 1967 is Forever changes. An increible and unique album, that never gets old. I wish it is popular as The beatles albums.

One of the most influential rock albums of all time, that shaped hard rock/heavy metal. Realy enjoyable album. Almost tied with Led zeppelin 4.

A little bit overrated. Lacks the magic and chemistry from previous albums, but still a great album.

Kinda mess, but in a good way. From psychedelic rock to more straitforward rock. One of their best songs are here, altought i never realy liked that much While my guitar gently weeps.

check out white light/white heat by the velvet underground. Also, their self titled. And some more dylan, such as the freewheeling bob dylan and bringing it all back home.
