auslander Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 For some reason our technocrat overlords have decided that each of us can only listen to music released in a single year (and all greatest hits albums are banned). You get one minute to choose and then that is it, all your cds and all your spotifies are only from albums released that year. What year do you choose (your favourite year of music)?

Geoff Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Yeah, without a deep dive I think it'd be 1989 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lettard Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) 1987 was a great year...some of my favourite albums released that year including my favourite ever...but after looking at auslanders list...for me its 1989 simply because there were so many more great releases and outstanding debuts from groups that I love..its close though.

Bloody close. Sheer numbers win 1989 for me but 1987 has some of the best albums of all time. That list above is just the cds I personally own from 1989.

Geoff Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Yeah, I think the whole thing is close. I think you could probably mount a pretty valid case for any year from 1986-1992? Love 1984 and 1985, with some good last stabs in 1993 too... but 86-92 I feel could all be validly argued.

CureTheSane Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Always been 87 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Planet Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Probably somewhere between 87-91.....it would take forever to narrow it much further for me.....although I will admit that my first thought was 89 but there were so many great releases in those 5 years that I had to reconsider.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of great releases indeed...off my head from my '89 stuff i'd stick Bonfire - Point Blank , Strangeways - Walk In The Fire & Vengeance - Arabia in too Edited September 1, 2022 by lettard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas/Coastline Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 1982 is great but 1983 is a jizzingly good classic AOR year. Arc Angel, Charlie, I-Ten, Preview, Survivor etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Nights Reserved Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 I just can't decide. Somewhere between 1968 and 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Gold Donors SunsetHoliday Posted September 3, 2022 2023 Gold Donors Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Like most have said, I could pick any year from 1988-1992 at random and be mostly satisfied, although I would definitely miss some of my favorites. Damn you fictional technocrat overlords for imposing such a cruel future 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas/Coastline Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 1985 had some great releases too: Magnum, Van Zant, Fortune, Shooting Star, Michael "Mr. Cheese" Bolton etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
