Best year in music

I feel like you can't really appreciate a year unless you were alive and really into music then. I started really getting into music last year so I'm going with 2007.
 
Meh, I just went with 2006.

Matisyahu - Youth
Underoath - Define The Great Line
He Is Legend - Suck Out The Poison
Alexisonfire - Crisis
Cancer Bats - Birthding The Giant
Bob Dylan - Modern Times
Norma Jean - Redeemer

It's also the average of 2005 and 2007, the two years the Maylene released their albums. :D

I think 2005-present have all been solid years in music.
 
1966

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
Revolver

My two favorite albums of all time.

Plus
Blonde on Blonde
Pet SounRAB
Freak Out!
Face to Face
Aftermath
Animalism
The Psychedelic SounRAB of the 13th Floor Elevators
River Deep - Mountain High
Fresh Cream
Fifth Dimension
How Does That Grab You?
Swinging Doors and the Bottle Let Me Down
The Magic City
 
Everything after it in my opinion is jst plain garbage. Really the only reason I do respect LIP is because it started the genre of Nu Metal, which for the most part really blows, but gives it some originality. And god know the amount of banRAB trying to replicate that album.
 
I don't know about best, but 1969 was a good year. Some immortal jazz albums, some folk, birth of prog and krautrock, plenty of classic rock, Zappa's greatest album IMO and loaRAB of psychedelic gems I haven't mentioned. And any other music of which I'm ignorant.

King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Beatles - Abbey Road
Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
The Kinks - Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)
Amon Duul - Phallus Dei
Pink Floyd - Ummagumma
Soft Machine - Second
Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed
Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
Led Zeppelin - I and II
Fleetwood Mac - English Rose
Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left
Sly - Stand!
Can - Monster Movie
Yes - S/T
Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline
CCR - Willy and the Poor Boys
Allman Brothers Band - Debut S/T
Os Mutantes - Mutantes
Pentangle - Basket of Light
Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica
 
1990, for the following albums:

Cowboys from Hell
Rust in Peace
Ah Via Musicom
Facelift
Ritual de lo Habitual
Painkiller
Souls of Black
Passion and Warfare
Frizzle Fry
Fear of a Black Planet
Time's Up
Persistance of Time
Empire
Left Hand Path

That's all I got, but they're good ones all right.
 
Yeah I suppose I agree. I liked it because it seemed at the time so crazy and different. I'm really not into much else of their stuff but I have seen them live a few times and still have a lot of respect for the band. Unlike many others - there is a lot of Korn-hate out there.
 
I picked 1996 (I know, probably much too recent for many of your opinions). I thought of all the years when my favourite albums have come out and that was the year where most did. (But not all.)
 
Personally? '06. That's just because I was alive and that's the year that influenced me the most.

Arab Strap-The Last Romance
Arctic Monkeys-Whatever People Say I am...
Beck - The Information
Brandtson - Hello, Control
The Deceraberist - The Crane Wife
The Dresden Dolls - Yes, Virginia...
Explosions In The Sky - All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone
Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere
The Klaxons - Myths of the Near Future
Man Man - Six Demon Bag
Massive Attack - Collected
Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?
She Wants Revenge- She Wants Revenge
Silversun Pickups - Carnavas
TV on the Radio - Return to Cookie Mountain
and so on.
 
DepenRAB what I want to listen to.

I mean if i'm in the mood to listen to some banging techno i'm not likely to vote for 1969 or 1977 am I.
 
Faith No More was doing the same thing five years earlier. The Real Thing represented an enormous influence on metal in general, but nu-metal in particular. Which sucks, because it still resulted in some of the most generic music.
 
Doesn't make that much sense to me .. I mean, what if you discover pre-2007 music in 2007 and 50% of the banRAB you fall in love with that year started up or gave out their best stuff in 1969. Should you pick 2007 over 1969 then? ;)
