Yes, kiddies, friends and music lovers everywhere, on June 1, 1967 the legendary Beatles album Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band hit the stores, starting off what would become known as the Summer Of Love. That summer concluded with the Monterey Pop and Rock Festival in Monterey, California. In between (and before, actually), some of the more famous albums of the era were also released:

The Beatles: Magical Mystery Tour (I Am The Walrus, Hello Goodbye)
Buffalo Springfield: Buffalo Springfield Again (Bluebird, Mr. Soul)
Cream: Fresh Cream (Debut Album)
Creedence Clearwater Revival: Debut Album (Suzy Q)
Jefferson Airplane: Surrealistic Pillow (Somebody To Love, White Rabbit)
The Mamas and the Papas: Debut Album (California Dreamin', Monday Monday)
The Lovin' Spoonful: Hums (Summer in the City)
Jimi Hendrix: Are You Experienced (debut album)(Fire, Purple Haze, Foxy Lady)
Rolling Stones: Between the Buttons (Let's Spend The Night Together, Ruby Tuesday)
Rolling Stones: Their Satanic Majesties' Request
The Who: The Who Sell Out (I Can See For Miles, Mary-Anne With The Shaky Hands)

There were a bunch of others, and I'll try to put them in as I remember them.

New additions:
Country Joe and the Fish: Electric Music For The Mind And Body
