That's it I give up because I can't do it anymore. All the new stuff is too recent and it always takes me at LEAST three years to catch up on stuff anyway. I don't get them free, unfortunately.

1993 Don Caballero, _For Respect_
I'm still drawing a big fat blank for '82, tho.
The 60s are pretty darn easy huh? *grin*Who else was making albums like the beatles?Almost nobody.
I like how highly Geir rated Sunflower and Surf's Up.And if I'd made my list a couple of years ago I would haveloaded it with Genesis, as well
Amazing how many Talking Heads albums showed up onthis thread, too.
I'm glad Dylan has mostly been snubbed. His rock albums containlike, two good songs each, and _Blonde On Blonde_, in particular, has some of the most godawful singing evercommitted to major-label tape.
Mr. Diamond, thank you for mentioning _Chill Out_. Love that.

It's not Dirty Mind or Purple Rain or anything, and it's too long by half, but Emancipation is still probably his best '90s album.

Well, if you are into Talking Heads, I see no need stopping at "Remain In Light". "Speaking In Tongues", from one of your "empty" years, is a great album
Not going to start recommending all the great synthpop/new romantic stuff released in 81-83 (the stuff I grew up with!), as it seems that may not be your cup of tea anyway. :-)

Not that much, but I feel like their peak period wasn't until 1972-1977. And Beach Boys at their peak was just better, simply.

How about those of us who hate hip-hop and are not particularly keen on electronica, but which are also not particularly fond of traditional blues-based rock'n'roll in the vain of Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix or any 50s rock?
Again, I am a "popist", not a "rockist". :-)
