The peak of the baby boom was 1955....I guess that's what I meant. It's interesting that the first'baby-boomer' turned 16 in 1962...when Rock really started it's golden run? And the last turned 16 in 1980...when it was arguably all over...
Absolutely!

Velvet Doors Sgt Pepper Monterey Stones arrested. Yes 1967 is the most interesting. 1966 and 1968 are contenders.

1967 was a poop year in rock music.
The Rolling Stones put it back on the map in 1968 with The Roll that was there from the '50's and before and recorded JUMPING JACK FLASH.
1967 was the most interesting year in Zzzzzzz... music with The Beach Boys, The Beatles and the snorring of Bill Wyman on Their Satanic Majesties Request (

Most interesting? Perhaps in the sense of it could be viewed as a transition year: a good album by the Stones (BTButtons) and their second to worst album ever (TSMR); The Who THE WHO SELLS OUT, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Cream, The Doors...
Fortunately the Stones made their 1967 releases irrelevant with one song:
Jumpin' Jack Flash.

I've always been partial to 1969. The Beatles had Abbey Road. The Stones had Let It Bleed and the legendary 1969 Tour from which Ya Ya's was born, Zeppelin debuted; it was a good year....

Yes it was an interesting year for 'pop rock' music or whatever you want to call it. (what with Sgt. Pepper, Hendrix, Simon and Garfunkel, Zappa, the Stones, the Doors, Jefferson Airplane, the Moody Blues, even the Who, plus a lot of great pop singles).

"1971 was the peak year for Rock....when the average baby boomer was 16. But 1972 is a close second...."
Hmmm...the baby boomer years are considered from 1946 through 1964, so what year is really the year for the average baby boomer to have been 16 years old? If you were born in 1964 then it would have been 1980 when you turned 16. The Clash, Elvis Costello, pink, disco, etc., would be the music of your 16 year old era. So, what year can we pick as the average baby boomer time?

If anything, 1971 is the year when popular music/rock started to stagnate and become more about business than music, where the stars and the audience grew ever more distant from one another. The era of the jet set began...
Case in point, the stones effing off to France, singing about staying in fancy hotels, whilst your average English Joe is stuck working in a factory.
The initial wellspring of inspiration that came from rock and roll clearly changed in 1967 beyond reasonable recognition, but the momentum, innocence and naivety was still there, evolving and moving forward. Robert Fripp, for example, notes an obvious change in audience/musician interaction and relations circa 1970.
I think the early 70's marks a change as the sheer magnitude of the money the music business could bring in hit home on many levels.
I'd say 1971 marks the point where rock music landed upon an accepted formula that would keep it going for many a year, but one which would soon require a reaction.

1971 and 1969 for me. Best years for pop singles and albums.
1967 was the year when all the burgeoning psychedelia that was great in 1966 got commercialised, same as 1977 with the punk scene that was still menacing and threatening to explode in 1976.
For me there was no pretention to be part of any scene in either 69 or 71. No psychedelia, no hippy crap, no glam yet - just really great music.

1971 is my favorite. But I believe it's correct to say 1967 was perhaps the most interesting year considering Sgt Pepper, Monterey and fashion. Thankfully there was more greatness to follow.
