You can also make a case for 1980:

X - "Los Angeles"

Circle Jerks - "Group Sex"

Dead Kennedys - "Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables"

Devo -"Freedom of Choice"

The Clash - "London Calling"

Abso****inglutely!

Add to that list these other gems-

Boys dont cry- The Cure

British Steel- Priest

The Black Album- The Dammed

Drastic Measures- 7 Seconds

Iron Maiden- Iron Maiden

INXS-INXS

Zenyetta Mondatta- The Police

Sound Affects- The Jam

The River- Springsteen

Los Angeles- X

And I think one of the top 5 albums of all time- Back In Black- AC/DC

1980 kills them all.

For me, I would have to put it out there for 80 as well. Bands like Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, Descendents, Dead Kennedy's, Circle Jerks, Misfits, Blag Flag. Punk Rock was full swing and unbelievable. I'll always have a soft spot for that era, it was truly special.

The greatest thing, it was all fueled by teenagers. Promotion done by kids with leaflets, records recorded in basements, etc. No big money

Certainly not this year, that's for sure.

I'm talking about 1991.

Metallica - Black Album

Guns n Roses - Use Your Illusion I and II

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Pearl Jam - Ten

Nirvana - Nevermind

U2 - Achtung Baby

Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory

You could probably put 1967 or 1968 up against this...and right now, I'm too lazy to look. But thats a pretty impressive collection of music to be released in one year.

What do you guys think?

I would agree with this list if you look at the bands on this list most are still touring and one would be if he hadnt killed himself

also you forgot these releases 1991

Green Day Kerplunk

REM outta time

Tom Petty Great wide open

Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory

I was just about to hate on this thread until I got down to one of the GREATEST hiphop albums EVER. I LOVE that album. I still bump it sometimes on the way home from work.

I had the pleasure of meeting Tribe Called Quest (Jarobi included) this past summer when I went to the Rock The Bells concert at the Merriweather Post Pavillion this past summer, Q-Tip cool as hell. They have an EXCELLENT show. They did like the entire Low End Theory album. Major Propz on the Tribe shout out :applause::applause::applause:

:cheers:

The Low End Theory isn't one of the best hip hop albums ever, it's one of the best ALBUMS ever. Period. So innovative in bringing jazz and hip hop together.

It can be found on every greatest albums ever list. It was a great concert indeed, lucky you had VIP tickets.

When you have legendary jazz bassist Ron Carter coming in to record live you know you did something right.

Every time I see Mr. Nostril in a music thread I just end up nodding my head.

1977 - you forgot iggy pop lust for life, both 1977. Often not considered as great as the idiot, but yet i like it better.

Also, to someone who mentioned 1967, summer of love, beach boys pet sounds was 1966 not 1967.

I don't listen to much hiphop anymore. Dunno why, used to really like it.

Anyway, while I probably can't name any of the songs on that cd other than "Scenario", I recognize how important Tribe is and I recognize how significant that album is.

:cheers:

You can also add

Lenny Kravitz Mama Said

Naughty by Nature self titled

Why would you want to add Lenny Kravitz? Just ribbing you but the guy is SERIOUSLY over-rated and always has been. He's been doing the same record for, um, 15+ years. He never evolves but somehow he keeps his record contract. Try Ben Harper, he's better by a multiple of 10.
