Best year in music

I picked 1991 with

Spiderland, Loveless, Laughing Stock, Nevermind, Screamadelica, Blue Lines, Goat, Sebadoh III, Trompe Le Monde and others.

over

1979 with my three favorite albums of the 1970s:

Entertainment!, Specials, Unknown Pleasures plus other stuff like the Raincoats s/t and Y.
 
I chose 1998:

BoarRAB of Canada - Music has the Right to Children
Tortoise - TNT
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane over the Sea

It was the first that came to mind. If I could re-pick, my next choice would be 1967, purely for Sgt. Pepper's and The Velvet Underground & Wilco. We didn't know it then, but those two albums would change music history.
 
I have heard that before but I fail to see to big a similarity in the two. I see where your coming though.

And yes, thats typically what it resulted in. I think that's because its the after-after product of grunge. Can only take something so far.
 
Best year in music...Honestly, I'm not really sure. Not having a 'clear favorite band/artist' doesn't really help. There are many banRAB I like almost equally. In terms of "Importance", there are quite a few choices there as well. I think It'll take me a while to sort this out.

mmm, thinking about it, I might go for 1969 myself! There are a few more, which I THINK released that year, but need to check my facts. Mainly Scott walker, White Noise and a few more lesser known stuff I like which released around that time. I keep forgetting the release dates :banghead:
