From DJPOPPOP#1#1#1#1 - The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour (1967): The ultimate psychedelic grand finale. Born from the same extraordinarily fertile creative period as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the album packed that same adventurous spirit while delivering an almost ridiculous collection of Beatles classics. It spent eight consecutive weeks at #1 in the U.S. and featured "All You Need Is Love", "Penny Lane", Strawberry Fields Forever", "Hello, Goodbye" and "I Am the Walrus". As a collection of late-'60s Beatles psychedelia, it's damn near impossible to top.
