It Has All Started 40 Years Ago

I have always considered the magical year 1967 as the beginning of the music I love the most - PROGRESSIVE ROCK. As I soon found out - that is the truth. The year 1967 was always called the year in which psychedelic music was born. Just look at some of the albums released that year to learn how incredibly special and inspiring for the music of the following decades the year 1967 was.



The Rolling Stones - "Their Satanic Majesties Request"



The Beatles - "Magical Mystery Tour"




The Moody Blues - "Days Of The Future Passed" - the first album that put together rock band and symphony orchestra




The Jimi Hendrix Experience - "Are You Experienced?" - that album gave birth Jimi Hendrix legend - the man who invented guitar feedback




Pink Floyd - "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" - another debut album of the band that had become the legend and is considered as the greatest progressive rock band. "Piper" also presents us with the genius of late Syd Barret, wonderful composer and songwriter who went to the other side of the moon shorty after recording that masterpiece.


...and finally the greatest rock album of all times :



The Beatles - "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" - magnum opus and the most influential album of all time by prominent critics and publications, ranking number 1 on Rolling Stone's The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2003.It was recorded by The Beatles over a 129-day period beginning on December 6, 1966.[2] The album was released on June 1, 1967 in the United Kingdom and on June 2, 1967 in the United States. The album has a large influence on many artists.
Upon release the album was an immediate critical and popular sensation. Innovative in every sense, from structure to recording techniques to the cover artwork, the artistic effect was felt immediately.
