    1966.

    Honorable mention: 1972 (soul music could do no wrong that year; seems like everybody was trying to top everybody else and succeeding).

    1968-72 are the magic numbers for me. Magic years that I wish I could turn back time and live through.

    HAH! Yes, indeed. I wish I could go back in time and swoop up all of those Capitol raers.

    Honorable mentions go to:
    1969 (a lot of my favorite pop/rock stuff comes from this year)
    1974 (Philly soul)
    1981 (the cusp of the classic Moder sound)
    1999 (the French Filtered House stuff in particular)

    ive got a bit of a soft spot for 1972 as it was the year i was born.
  • don_gigantedon_gigante 259 Posts
    1969.

    68-69...Owlsley's purple haze was pushing the fringes of the psyche from SF to the Village...dudes were on some serious nextlevelry....

    hiphop wise its gotta be '95 though
  • pickwick33pickwick33 8,946 Posts
    without looking too closely at the other people's lists, here are my fave albums of '72 off the head:

    Bealtitude: Respect Yourself, Staple Singers
    Scraps, NRBQ
    What's Up Front That - Counts, Counts
    Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose
    Understanding, Bobby Womack
    Let's Stay Together, Al Green
    I'm Still In Love With You, Al Green
    Talking Book, Stevie Wonder
    Music Of My Mind, Stevie Wonder
    Joe Quarterman & Free Soul
    I Can See Clearly Now, Johnny Nash
    Back Stabbers, O'Jays
    The Politicians Featuring McKinley Jackson, the Politicians
    Get On The Good Foot, James Brown

    HONORABLE MENTION[/b]:
    It's Just Begun, Jimmy Castor Bunch
    Phase Two, Jimmy Castor Bunch
    America Eats Its' Young, Funkadelic
    A Lonely Man, Chi-Lites
    The Sidewinders, the Sidewinders
    Good Hearted Woman, Waylon Jennings
    A Night On The Town, Brownsville Station
    Starting All Over Again, Mel & Tim
    On The Corner, Miles Davis
    The Killer Rocks On, Jerry Lee Lewis
    Bittersweet, Chairmen Of The Board
    Velvert Turner Group

    You will notice that this list is all soul, or soulish (hello, Miles)...that's how high the creativity was that year. Although there are some rockish acts I would have included (Commander Cody, Big Star, T. Rex, Mott the Hoople), the fact remains that R&B was kicking ass and stomping dick all over the place in 1972. Don't even get me started on the singles.
