Your favorite single YEAR in music and the 5 releases that make it so...

[htismaqe]

I'm sitting here listening to a little masterpiece by team Dio, Iommi, Ward, and Butler and it got me to thinking.

What a year 1980 was.

Black Sabbath released "Heaven and Hell".
Motorhead released "Ace of Spades".
AC/DC released "Back in Black".
Ozzy released "Blizzard of Oz".
Iron Maiden released their self-titled debut.

Not to mention, I'm pretty sure the Scorpions had a big album come out in 1980.

[htismaqe]

Holy crap, "British Steel" came out in 1980, too.

[Demonpenz]

1991 Pearl Jam ten, nirvana nevermind, Red Hot chilli peppers blood sex sugar magik, metallica black, Stevie ray vaughn The Sky Is Crying

I was 10 in 1991 obvouisly hanging out with older people are going to mold you into what you want to listen too. Evenflow by pearl Jam always stuck with me and my dad bought me the 10 album. (probably for him too he would have been 37 and still likes to rock) grunge sound provided the way for my overweight "I'm soo misinterpreted :(" I got the metallica black cd (no shitting you) at a bowling party. one listen to that shit and I was hooked. I liked Stevie Ray Vaughn all the time

heh, i was joking. The only song i ever really liked by them was "lovin every minute of it"

and yea, im 38 so most of my musical tastes fall into late 80's hair metal and early 90's grunge.


But i dig alot of 70's rock too.

Good call, 1966-1967 was a period we'll probably never see again.

In 1966 of the top of my head, The Pink Floyd debuted with "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" and Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention debuted with "Freak Out!"

The Beatles released "Revolver".

And I'm pretty sure "Pet Sounds" and the first Dead album came on in 66 too.

[Demonpenz]

probably never see that unless we get a new instrument and effects that become all the rage conbined with lots and lots of drugs

[Frazod]

They're not still producing music are they?

I doubt it. I guess it's possible they're doing the old-fat-hasbeen tour, though. :D

[Demonpenz]

2000 was nice
Eminem The marshel Mathers lp
Queens of the Stone Age Rated R
Outkast Stankonia

[KCChiefsMan]

1991 was a great year, mentioned before

1992 was also a great year

Alice in Chains - Dirt
Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine
Dr Dre - The Chronic
and even Eric Clapton's Unplugged

probably not the best year ever in music, but it was awesome when I was young and I still listen to it to this day.

You're the dorky DJ from Almost Famous, aren't you? LMAO

[htismaqe]

Just from the looks of this thread, it would seem we've identified some "eras" as opposed to specific years.

66-68. 80-82. 91-92. Interesting.

[htismaqe]

You're the dorky DJ from Almost Famous, aren't you? LMAO

No, the reason I remember music from those years so well is the same reason I can't remember where I put my wallet. :)

[Frazod]

My favorite era is the late '70s. But it's hard to pin down a single year.

[Stewie]

Hey, I thought they were great.

I assume we're about the same age, too.

I saw Loverboy when they opened for Kansas in about '81/'82. It was Kansas' last concert with the original members.

Loverboy was really good, but they overdid the rock star poses on stage.

Kansas was awesome. I'll never forget Steve Walsh doing handstands on his keyboards and a great laser light show. Hey, it was the '80s and that's what rock bands did.

Oh, and the concert was held in the Mecca of the Universe, Allen Fieldhouse. :p

[Demonpenz]

we are all white guys here, it would be sweet to hear some people talking about motown or soul, i could probably run down a year of good blues cd's but it seems like back in the day john lee hooker, robert fenton, robert cray albert king, were all poppin out 2 cd's a year

I saw Kansas (hate the state, love the group :) ) and REO together in Merrillville, IN about 20 years ago. The music was solid, but Walsh's voice was pretty ragged that night. He may have just been having a bad night, but it was definitely dissapointing. REO was much better.

I like some Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett, but I'm just not a huge fan of soul. I love the blues, though.

1997 was a monster year in my book; some of my most favorite albums ever were released.

Radiohead - OK Computer
Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West
Elliott Smith - Either/Or
Ben Folds Five - Whatever and Ever Amen

Alice Cooper: Love It To Death
Black Sabbath: Master of Reality
Jethro Tull: Aqua Lung
Led Zeppelin IV
Pink Floyd: Meddle
T-Rex: Electric Warrior
Rolling Stones: Sticky Fingers
The Doors: LA Woman

To bad I wasn't alive in '71. Although past their prime I have still seen The Stones, Jethro Tull, Alice Cooper, and Roger Waters in concert .

Pretty much any of the late 60's early 70's years work for me.

The drugs and partying had probably taken their toll by then. If it was 20 years ago it had to be a makeshift lineup. Steinhardt or Livgren playing?

Alice in Chains are releasing their new album in September 2009. I hope that alone will make 2009 the best year of this decade for music. I know, Layne is gone but the new guy isn't bad and Jerry Cantrell was the creative mind all along. I'm looking really forward for this album.

[Nzoner]

'81 was pretty good.

Hi Infidelity by REO
Escape - Journey
Foreigner 4
For Those About To Rock - AC/DC
Paradise Theather - Styx


Just my opinion but all 5 of those albums were by bands who had definitely seen better years musically.

[shitgoose]

I was going to mention that one, but it's certainly not CSNY's best album.

Deja Vu came out the year before

[MoreLemonPledge]

Deja Vu came out the year before

Which is a classic.

[Nzoner]

Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

For as many songs as are on that double album I can't think of a one I don't like.I'm especially fond of All The Young Girls Love Alice,Roy Rogers,Sweet Painted Lady and Dirty Little Girl.

[shitgoose]

Which is a classic.

Agreed.

I saw CSN play at the KS Coliseum about 6-7 years ago. At some point during the show David Crosby left the stage to take oxygen. It was pretty sad. And we almost got arrested for smoking this hog leg out in the parking lot before the concert. All in all not a good show by any means.

Agreed.

I saw CSN play at the KS Coliseum about 6-7 years ago. At some point during the show David Crosby left the stage to take oxygen. It was pretty sad. And we almost got arrested for smoking this hog leg out in the parking lot before the concert. All in all not a good show by any means.

I really wish I had seen Neil Young this past week. Thought we had tickets, but missed out at the last minute.

Nothing comes close to the 66-68 era that has been talked about. The Beatles at their peak. The Stones at their peak. The Doors. The Who. Bob Dylan. Hendrix.

Eliminator is alot better than Afterburner in 85. Slip inside my sleepin bag........



Although i loved that LP as a kid, its really dated now. Recyler a few years later rocks.

Exactly. Nothing will ever come close.

First thing that came to mind when I read the thread title.

For me, Motorhead puts 1980 over the top.

[Spott]

My favorite was in 1991 when all of the Seattle bands officially killed off all those crappy big hair bands from the 80's.

Soundgarden(Badmotorfinger)
Pearl Jam(Ten)
Alice in Chains toured with Slayer, Anthrax and Megalame in 91 promoting their Facelift album on the Clash of the Titans tour.
Temple of the Dog
Nirvana(Nevermind)

[Pioli Zombie]

Exactly. Nothing will ever come close.
And looking back its hard to wrap the mind around the idea that The Beatles gave us within a 24 month period "Rubber Soul", "Revolver" and Sgt Pepper.

I saw him at the Starlight Theatre back in '03. It was an excellent show.

I was never a big CSN fan, but Neil, now I really enjoyed CSNY and his solo stuff.

This but Id add Dr Dre - The Chronic

the chronic was 92 according to what i found but that cd changed the game forever.

Kind of hard to fuck with this.

Agreed.

I'm sitting here listening to a little masterpiece by team Dio, Iommi, Ward, and Butler and it got me to thinking.

What a year 1980 was.

Black Sabbath released "Heaven and Hell".
Motorhead released "Ace of Spades".
AC/DC released "Back in Black".
Ozzy released "Blizzard of Oz".
Iron Maiden released their self-titled debut.

Not to mention, I'm pretty sure the Scorpions had a big album come out in 1980.

Indeed, that WAS a good year. My 5 from 1980 would have been close:

Back In Black - AC-DC
British Steel - Judas Priest
Blizzard of Oz - Ozzy
Heaven and Hell - Black Sabbath
Animal Magnetism - Scorpions

[Demonpenz]

what year did dawsons creek come out?


I DON'T WANNA WAAAIIT FOR OUR LIVES TO BE OVER

Indeed, that WAS a good year. My 5 from 1980 would have been close:

Back In Black - AC-DC
British Steel - Judas Priest
Blizzard of Oz - Ozzy
Heaven and Hell - Black Sabbath
Animal Magnetism - Scorpions

"Ace of Spades" HAS to be on the list, sorry.

[htismaqe]

Damn do I love "Heaven and Hell". And what's great about it is like most of my favorite albums, it's one of the lesser-known songs that's my favorite - Children of the Sea.

[KCUnited]

good list,got to see SOD a while back. great ****in show.
I won't front like I was around in '85 to see them, but I saw them several years ago in Wichita, Billy being Billy.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Wow, I would have said 80 and 91 as well.

How about 1994?
