Best ever year for music?

[Direflow]

[CreamLord]

Don't think I listen to enough music to answer this question, fuck me and my dubstep obsession

[Direflow]

See, When I look at a year like 1993 as mentioned here and I try find a load of other non hip hop records to back up the strong hip hop releases that year I'll then find that I own a shitload of stuff that came out a year or two either side. Same with the late 70s. Same with some periods in the 80s or 60s or whatever.

I don't think I'm going to find a definitive year as there's loads I like in pretty much any year I pick from the last 50 years

[Direflow]

i can think of a lot of electronic and rock albums from 1993 that are great

[wolf89]

EDIT: Aimed at direflow

Yeah but the point is I found a load of equally good if not better ones in 1994 and 1992 meaning I couldn't definitely say "oh yeah 93 was better" or whatever

1979 is up there..

Without digging through my entire collection, this is one of my shouts for "before my time", purely cos London Calling and Unknown Pleasures came out.

Didn't realise that was 1979 as well... I never bothered with Joy Division until I watched the film 'Control' 2 years ago. Amazing album.

purely based on personal preferences (cause i honestly don't give a shit about the influence or importance of records), any year from 2006 onwards

2000-2002 all blend in for me but i liked those years a lot

those were good years for Dipset therefore good years for music.

[Shum]

Yeah late 90's - early 2000s, house, r&b, garage, drum n bass. It was all going off!

According to a former teacher of mine music ended when Brahms died in 1900 or whenever it was.

Clearly not a music teacher

1931 was the best year for music because A Blumlein started developing stereo miking techniques and records.

[OGLemon]

I really don't like much hip hop from about 2001-2006. It maybe the fact that a lot of the albums that I've listened to from this era come from rappers who peaked in the 90s. Does anybody else feel this way?

[wolf89]

No

[SCope13]

Nah. MF Doom, Madlib, EL-P, Killer Mike, plenty of classics from Cam'ron and Dispet like I mentioned earlier, Brick Squad, Clipse and the Re-Up Series, Jeezy, Ghostface, 50's debut was great, Donuts, and of course Kanye. Probably a whole lot more that I'm not thinking of off the top of my head. Plenty of great releases in that time period.

Madvillainy man, that was 2004.
