1977
Although its a bit before my time and I really only loved these records after discovering them years later. It was the first year that I actually was aware of music and bought my first record.
Eponymous albums from Peter Gabriel, Blondie, The Clash and Talking Heads
Can hardly believe they are nearly 20 years old!
Plus
Never Mind the Bollox, New Boots and Panties, Exudus and Rumours
Also a great year for films - Star Wars and Smokey and the Bandit :shock:
oh nooooo it didn't die. I just wandered off to flick through some vinyl.
Forgot to add John Martyn - So Far So Good. Bought this (along with Moondance at Jumble Sale for 10p and fell in Love with him and the Man)
Its also from 1977!!!!
god i've tried i really have, but i just can't pick.
i could pick any year in the late70's and 80's cos they're the bands i grew up. joy divison, pistols, the clash, sisters of mercy, the cure, the pixies, throwing muses. the nineties weren't so bad. nirvana, massive attack, orbital, primal scream, radiohead. but every year i think musics crap these days and i just get blown away by a whole load of new bands, and there's still great stuff out there. so a bit pointless me being here really, cept to say
Congrats on 100 posts!
neil x x x ;).
Back in 1974 I would have been 2, I thought the wombles were pretty damn good back then, still got an album somewhere. I'll have to find it think it's got "a wombling christmas" on it, well it is almost upon us.
I've just thought of another for 1977 - A Farewell to Kings by Rush, In my book their best album, but with Permanent Waves a very close second.

Think I'm with Elissamay on the grunge thing, love that scene! Roundabout 1991 I would reckon.
The last couple of years have brough some good stuff though as well, I love Franz Ferdinand, Lostprophets, Kasabian, Funeral For a Friend and all that genre!
Alice In Chains were a classic band too I would recommend their stuff
Nutshell - a very great song MQ.
Oi - Spirited Away.- if its 1973 then how's about a nice bowl of Goats Head Soup?
Thanks Neil, I agree with you, there's so much good stuff about, there was a definite dip for me when house music was all the rage, it seemed like a musical dead end in a way (whoaaa, steady now!!!) but we seemed to get through that and 'proper' music just seemed to take up where it left off.
