The Doors album is one of those debut landmark releases that seems to come around once or twice every decade, whereas Sgt.Peppers is an album where a band has reached its creative height and brilliance and fully evolved their sound.

As for your list on the best albums of 1967 I agree with 75% of them BUT NO Country Joe and the Fish? The two albums put out by them that year are two of the finest psychedelic releases ever, also the Byrds album Younger Than Yesterday needs to be on that list.
Great post, Younger Than Yesterday album by the Byrds is a +.
