Just re-organized my cd`s. The year 1971 must have been a way cool for every rock fan. Not that I knew it, I was only 6 yrs and my parents didn´t listen to that sort of music.

This list speaks for itself
Sticky Fingers
Deep Purple: Fireball
Led Z number 4
Uriah Heep: Look at Yourself
The Who: Who´s Next

What a number of masterpieces! .. And to continue, expanding from focusing to rock music, Marvin Gaye: What´s Going On
What´s your golden year of studio albums?

Wesley

Wasn't born yet but there were some great albums from that year. A few that come to mind that you didn't mention..

Imagine – Lennon
Aqualung – Jethro Tull
Meddle – Pink Floyd
LA Women – Doors
(not studio) Fillmore East – Allmans
Grateful Dead – self titled

Yes, Of course, thanks. I have LA Woman, how could I forget that? The Allman Bros Fillmore East is already ordered, waiting for the the mail..

you can make a pretty good case for proabably any year between 1967-1972....I'd be more inclined to go with 1968, given it's the only year Dylan released a worthy album during that stretch....

I agree, but somehow I´m obsessed to 1971 right now..
Just to put some more heat:

Rod Stewart: Every Picture Tells a Story
T-Rex: Electric Warrior
those are probably not great "classics", but sure are damn good albums, which have tendency to grow during the years. And that´s a good sign, never get tired of listening these

Nothing comes close to 1966!

Stones - Aftermath
Dylan - Blonde on Blonde
Beatles - Revolver
Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Mothers of Invention - Freak out!
Kinks - Face to Face
Jacques Brel - Ces gens-la
Miles Davis - Miles smiles

name a year and i'll give you 10 great albums, the furtehr back the easier. its called selective memory

Yes, and I realize how much the rock journalists appreciate that era. The Beatles has almost all the top 10 albums with Sgt Pepper, Revolver and White Album. There you go, different opinions, thanks for yours!

Best year in music history (1969 and 1970 have strong cases too). Not just albums, but singles also. To many to list at work, maybe a few when I get home. Here's a couple though:

"Do You Know What I Mean"
"Dragging The Line"

"No Anchovies, Please"

were"All thing must pass" released in "71"?

under the boardwalk---down by the sea

What about Ram by McCartney. That came out in 71. And how could anybody forget A Nod's As Good As A Wink! Not so sure about Uriah Heep's Look At Yourself though.

66 was great but I think 71 was the best year ever

Who's next
Sticky Fingers
Led Zep 4

MACHINE HEAD also is an unquestionable masterpiece.

OOOPs, was Machine Head released in 1971? If so, my apoligies, it`s a true Masterpiece. I don´t have it right now, cant check the date of a reliase

It was recorded in Dec 71; probably released in early 72.

I think sticky fingers is great, but Ive always thought that beggars, Let it bleed and exile are slightly better.

Elvis country-´71

IMO one of Elvis best 70´s albums great fusion of country,blues and rockandroll
With the track i was born 10,000 years ago playing between the tracks.

Super album from a super singer and super musicians



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 2007-09-14 00:22 by tigerman.

1971 is the year, no doubt about it:

Sticky Fingers
Who`s Next
Aqualung
Tarkus
Pictures At An Exhibition
Salisbury
Look At Yourself
Meddle
LA Woman
Led Zeppelin 4
Imagine

I thought we were making a case for 1971 NOT against

you mention 2 of the WORST and most UNSEXY turd rock bands ever to record.

"What´s your golden year of studio albums? "

1993

Breeders "Last Splash"
The Humpers "Positively Sick On 4th Street"
Grotus "Slow Motion Apocalypse"
Melvins "Houdini"
Nirvana "In Utero"
Anthrax "Sound Of White Noise"
Belly "Star"
PJ Harvey "Rid Of Me"
Therapy? "Nurse" (it might have come out in 92 or 92 in the UK and 93 in the US)
Ethyl Meatplow "Happy Days Sweetheart"
Jesus Jones "Perverse"
Jesus Lizard "Liar"
Fight "War Of Words"

Actually 1991-1994 was an absolutely amazing era for music and the best time as a music fan to be alive.

1980 was also good; as was 1973-74. 1967 not too bad either.

why does nobody ad the kinks' muswell hillbillies to his list ????
