I didn't check past My Favorite Things, but I can't see that anything would eclipse that.

Love Child by Diana Ross & the Supremes a contender also

'72 Baby! Exile and On the Corner (along with Europe '72) were my other choices. Though I think '71 and '73 might have better choices.

Forgot that Europe ‘72 came out in...um...’72. For some reason, I thought it was released in early ‘73. I definitely dig it, but not as much as the other records I listed.

1971 is an absurd embarrassment of riches. And jeez, ‘73: Sextant, Quadrophenia, Fresh, Innervisions, Stranded...

Four way tie - Cosmo's Factory/Fun house/After the Gold Rush/Paranoid - but gun to the head, 'Cosmo's'

BlackIronPrison, Wednesday, 17 June 2020 23:21 (three years ago) link

I want to claim 1972 too--I was reborn that year when I became immersed in Top 40 radio like never before.

Acsension over Aftermath and Da Capo bcuz side 1

medicate for all (outdoor_miner), Wednesday, 17 June 2020 23:23 (three years ago) link

Strictly Personal

bring wayne shorter to the slaughter (Matt #2), Thursday, 18 June 2020 00:53 (three years ago) link

I had Soundtracks, Let it Bleed and The Man Who Sold the World but I'll be honest and pick Plastic Ono Band (Lennon). I think.

assert (MatthewK), Thursday, 18 June 2020 01:05 (three years ago) link

The real answer is Slates but since that's clearly an EP, I'll go with the first self-titled Indoor Life album.

Runner-ups = Odyshape, Tin Drum, Return of the Giant Slits

weekly shopper helper (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 18 June 2020 09:04 (three years ago) link

I'm sorry, I can't do this quickly.

Anti-Cop Ponceortium (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 18 June 2020 09:56 (three years ago) link

Me neither. Lack of albums I like to that extent.

Not saying they were all bad albums in 1961, just..

Mark G, Thursday, 18 June 2020 10:01 (three years ago) link

There you go, it's "The Young Ones" soundtrack. Played that a few times back in the day.

Mark G, Thursday, 18 June 2020 10:03 (three years ago) link

The Velvet Underground says this ol' maing.

SQUIRREL MEAT!! (Capitaine Jay Vee), Thursday, 18 June 2020 10:10 (three years ago) link

1979 has loads of brilliant albums but nothing I really think of as a personal favourite.

Anti-Cop Ponceortium (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 18 June 2020 10:11 (three years ago) link

Taking Sides, 1961 edition: Jets and Sharks vs. Cliff and Shadows

No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Thursday, 18 June 2020 10:23 (three years ago) link

Yeah, that one was in second place.

Mark G, Thursday, 18 June 2020 10:37 (three years ago) link

Sonic Youth 'Evol' or Prince 'Parade' at first glimpse. What a year.

cooldix, Thursday, 18 June 2020 11:57 (three years ago) link

Either Axis: Bold as Love
or Velvets/Nico
