One moment while we pull together the music from this year.
Summer of Love
1967
The Summer of Love paints San Francisco in sound, Sgt. Pepper rewrites the album, and every week brings another kaleidoscopic single.
Summer Turns Psychedelic
Color, rebellion, and studio ambition spill out of the speakers — pop stops playing it safe and starts chasing the infinite. The Summer of Love turns San Francisco into a pilgrimage site while Sgt. Pepper rewrites what an album can pretend to be. Every week another single arrives sounding like it was mixed in a dream and mastered for a revolution.
