Okay, we're at that pont where we are going to start counting down our favorite singles of 1967 and 2015 along with our favorite albums of 2015.
But before we do, I want to give a quick shout out to three acts who were just so off-the-charts prolific and consistently great in 1967 that I simply had to cut off how many songs of theirs I included in our final 1967 singles countdown lest they eat up near half the spots and leave many other great artists completely acknowledged.
I am, of course, talking about The Beatles, The Doors, and The Jimi Hendrix Experience, each of whom released not one but two full-length albums in 1967, and some historically famous singles to boot.
For the best sense of how great these artists we're in 1967, just check out this videos and spotify links for the singles I left out of my countdown - the volume and average quality level is jaw dropping.
