What's your favorite year(s) in music Just curious what different people see as the best year or years in music. I take 81-83. Any period that yelds Controversy, 1999, both Time albums and Vanity 6 is enough to be great right there. Add to that the fact that Rick James (Street Songs & Throw Down) Patrice Rushen (Straight From the Heart) Gap Band (IV) The Bar Kays (Propositions & Night Crusin) Grandmaster Flash (The Message) Cameo (3 albums!) Midnight Starr (No Parking..) and Confunkshun (7 & To The Max) were all at their peak and you have the period I feel defines old school. I'm sure I left some out. Add yours to this period or select your own best of from your favorite years. Bringing Together Five Decades of R&B/Funk/Soul/Dance

Prince, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Van Halen, Bruce Springsteen, Culture Club, Eurythmics had great albums! | |

I was looking for an example of the songs and or albums that made those years great to you. Some people are just listing years. Tell us why those years were so great. It helps paint a picture of the time period. Bringing Together Five Decades of R&B/Funk/Soul/Dance
