Classic Rock Is My Kind Of Time Travel

Classic rock is my favorite form of time travel. No kidding. Listening to these songs from forty years ago, especially in 1967, at a time when rock music was transforming millions of fans, from concerts to television, is like a magic time machine.

I started to list out the songs that I know and love from this fabulous year, but when I started linking, I couldn't find anything more complete than Wikipedia's search item "1967 in music," so I'm just going to link to it. This list is by no means complete; it's just some of my favorites I remember from my childhood. What's your favorite?
