Any way you listen to it 1967 was a very good year for music. This week--true to the name of my show--I'm going A through Z: Amboy Dukes through The Who.

There will be some songs that everyone knows (The Who's "I can see for miles" The Rolling Stones' "Ruby tuesday") and some songs that sound familiar but you couldn't quite place until now (Cream's "SWLABR" and The Doors's "Alabama Song"). By the title SWLABR is an anagram for  "She Was Like A Bearded Rainbow."

And then there are songs that you may have never heard before (Love's "Alone again or" and The Kinks' [below] "Waterloo Sunset") but which epitomize the wide creative range of 1967. 

Also appearing this week: semi-obscure tracks by otherwise famous artists: "Matthew and son" by Cat Stevens, "A girl like you" by The Rascals, "Paper sun" by Traffic, and "Turn me loose" by Sly & the Family Stone.

Then there are the uncategorizable songs like Science Poption's "Buckingham Palace"--taken from an A.A. Milne ("Winnie the Pooh") poem.

Not to be forgotten: The Amboy Dukes (before Ted Nugent went insane), The Beach Boys, The Beatles (unreleased outtake), Donovan, The Four Tops, The Lovin' Spoonful, The Mamas & the Papas, and Wilson Pickett.
