  1967 is where is starts to get to be a YUGE pain in the ass to pick the 10 best. Spots 1- 3 are pretty obvious IMHO, but then there are about 17 other albums competing to fill 7 spots. I couldn't make up my mind and opted to leave off the F.O. Peter Puffer Option.
  
  Pepper is one of those records that is very high on my list, but it's no even in my Top 3 most favorite Beatles albums. It's likely the most important rock record of all time, but there's just a bit too much of Paul getting cute to keep it from being a GOAT type personal favorite. The debut Doors album on the other hand has so much cool factor that I can listen to it over and over and never get bored.

  In all of college football, there are few schools which have such a fitting and iconic rock song as Purple Haze. The only other one that comes to mind is Sweet Home Alabama. But Skynyrd was from Florida, not Bammer.

  The Doors became an almost obsession when I was in college...”Summer of Love” FF 12 years...the re-start of selective service registration, hostages in Iran, and the viewing (multiple) of Apocalypse Now clarified in bold terms for me that maybe I should start paying attention to what the hell was going on out here. When it came out, it was a bunch of catchy, hook-y tunes on the folks AM car radio...later, not so much, in a good way...

  It's not close IMO. Experienced was something completely new.

  The Who were the opener for Herman’s Hermits in 1967. People forget that.

  1967 was the last stand of bubble gum for a while.

  Not even 1 vote for Pepper? I'm schocked. @Gladstone ?
  
  Are Your Experienced and The Doors should both get bids but to see Pepper left out of a 64 greatest albums tourney? Lol. Only on a college football message bored.

  I'd change my vote if I could. It's ridiculous. The Beatles arent all that popular here though.

  People forget that the Stones beat out the Beatles to make the Final 4 of my shitty rock tournament. I think most here really do appreciate the Beatles but our demographic here is such that they will never be the most popular HH band.
  
  I’m an obsessed Beatles fan and have been from 10 yrs of age. This will never change. I just like the Stones even more.
