Five-way tie between Aretha’s Amazing Grace, Talking Book, Exile On Main St, On The Corner, and Pete Townshend’s Who Came First.

'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.

’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'

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

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.

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

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.

Either Axis: Bold as Love
or Velvets/Nico
