Em primeiro lugar o vosso amigo Rato quer agradecer a todos os que contribuiram para que estas tabelas pudessem ser feitas. Sem as pessoas que, pacientemente, escolheram os seus favoritos e fizeram assim as suas listas pessoais tal não teria sido possível. Um muito obrigado, portanto! 1967 foi, ninguém hoje o duvida, um ano chave na música popular anglo-americana. A filosofia emergente do “Flower Power” levou grande parte da juventude a libertar-se das teias da sociedade convencional e a fazer o que muito bem lhe dava na gana, assumindo novos comportamentos e ideias. Inevitavelmente, tal explosão nos usos e costumes da época seria feita também através da música. E que música, como a seguir se irá recordar. Começando pelos albuns, houve 34 votantes e foram referidos 161 títulos diferentes, dos quais 25 não foram aceites por terem sido editados em outros anos, ou por não conterem música anglo-americana ou simplesmente por se tratar de coletâneas e não de albuns originais (todas estas premissas tinham sido definidas à partida). Dos 136 albuns restantes aqui fica a classificação final dos 50 mais votados:
First of all, your friend Rato wants to thank everyone who made these charts possible. Without the people who paciently have chosen their favourites and thus made their personal lists, such would not be possible. So, a many thanks to you! 1967 was, no doubt about, a key-year in the anglo-american music. The underlying philosophy of “Flower Power” made a lot of the youth drop out and leave convencional society and do their own thing, wherever and whenever they wanted. Inevitably, such explosion in the customs of the time would also reach the music. And what a music, like we’re going to remember now. Starting with the albums, there was 34 voting people, who have mentioned 161 different titles; 25 of them were not accepted because they were released in other years, or because they didn’t contained anglo-american music or simply because they were compilations and not originals (all these premises were early defined). From the 136 remained albums, here are the 50 most voted:

SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND(Beatles)
Se o “Sgt. Pepper’s” foi logo desde o início um vencedor antecipado, já para os dois lugares imediatos do pódio a luta foi extremamente renhida, acabando os Moody Blues por assegurar o segundo posto com uma diferença mínima de 7 pontos. De qualquer modo, esta trilogia eleita pelos amigos do Rato liderou sempre o pelotão da frente, não havendo qualquer dúvida de que são os albuns mais apreciados. Comparativamente com as tabelas dos albuns mais vendidos em todo o mundo, os albuns dos Beatles e do Hendrix também figuram no trio da frente, sendo no entanto o 2º lugar ocupado pelo album de estreia dos Doors (aqui em 5º lugar), com o album dos Moody Blues a ocupar o 16º lugar.
If “Sgt. Pepper’s” was from the beginning an antecipate winner, the fight for the next two podium places was extremely fierce, ending the Moody Blues to confirm the second position with just a 7 points advantage. Anyway, this trilogy elected by Rato’s friends was always leading the race, and there is no doubt they are the most appreciated albums. Looking to the best selling album charts in the world, you can realize that the Beatles and Hendrix’s albums are also among the first three, being the second place the Doors debut (here on fifth), with the Moody Blues album placed on 16th.
