Best year in music (albums, solo, quote, 1994)

The Monkey · 11-16-2008, 06:19 PM

Which of the last 50 years has been the best in terms of music in your opinion?

(It's gonna take a while to make the poll, bear with me)

Damn, I'll get back to you on this one. It's going to be a year from 1977-present, no doubt, though.

Let me do some research...

Double X · 11-16-2008, 08:28 PM

1967 or 1969. Probably. Or 1979.

lucifer_sam · 11-16-2008, 08:31 PM

1968.

khfreek · 11-16-2008, 08:54 PM

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.

1991, with Screamadelica, Nevermind, Loveless... the rest was just icing on the cake.

The White Album

All brilliant albums.
Zappa also released his first solo album in 68, but I haven't listened to it.

I think I have to go with 1993 or possibly, 1994. Personal reasons, mostly, since this was the point in my life when I really began to absorb music and take it seriously.

As far as historical importance goes, I couldn't even venture a guess on which year would be the best.
