Mine would be 1977. not really in any particular order, except the first 2.


David Bowie - "Low"
David Bowie - "Heroes"
Talking Heads - "Talking Heads: 77"
Peter Gabriel - "Peter Gabriel (I)"
Iggy Pop - "The Idiot"
Iggy Pop - "Lust For Life"
Fleetwood Mac - "Rumours"
Marvin Gaye - "Live At The London Palladium"
Joni Mitchell - "Don Juan's Reckless Daughter"
The Jacksons - "Goin' Places"
Parliament - "Funkentelechy vs. the Placebo Syndrome"

some killer stuff here, but kind of an "off" year for me compared to the ones that surround it.
[Edited 1/6/10 23:30pm]

The Beatles - The Beatles (White Album)
Sly & The Family Stone - Dance To The Music
Marvin Gaye - In The Groove
James Brown - I Got The Feelin'
Aretha Franklin - Lady Soul
Archie Bell & The Drells - I Can't Stop Dancing

"Sitting On The Dock" was the #1 song the week I was born. Ironically, Archie Bell & the Drells had a cover of "Sitting On The Dock" on their album listed above the same year Otis had a #1 with it.

I also love that Louis Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World" came out the year I was born.

ZZ Top- Eliminator
The Police- Synchronicity
Metallica- Kill 'Em All
Lionel Richie- Can't Slow Down
Def Leppard- Pyromania
Rick James- Cold Blooded


Not old enough to be born the same year 1999 and Thriller came out. 1984 was obviously a huge year in music history. '83 wasn't as gigantic. It was still huge, though.

Remember this though - 1983 WAS the year for Thriller. MJ released it at the very end of 1982, on November 30 (although I had originally heard December 2nd). So 1983 was the year for all those hits, the videos, etc. Sure it wasn't released in your birth year, but you were certainly around when MJ was becoming the epic artist we know him as today.

And all those albums you listed were gigantic. 1983 was a good year.

I have no idea what songs were even out in 1967. I've probably heard most of them but I wouldn't have known exactly what year they were out.

Look at all y'all motherfuckers born in the 1980s with y'all's little young asses. I had to go to the restroom and check to see if I had any gray hairs growing on my balls. I didn't but I don't want them to end up looking like tinsel hanging from a Christmas tree.
