without checking all released album lists in detail, my guess it that any year from mid 70s to late 80s could qualify


1988 would kick in just based on Hip Hop albums alone

It takes A Nation Of Millions, By All Means Necessary, Long Live The Kane, Adventures Of Slick Rick, Follow The Leader, He's the DJ I'm the Rapper, Straight Outta Compton, Straight Out The Jungle and so on and so on


1989 and 1990 woud be equally good I guess, Masta Ace, Ice Cube, X-Clan, ATCQ, PE...
btw, Mama Said Knock You Out was in 1990 not 1991

Golden Age of Hip Hop the best fucking time ever to witness in music history

1981 is one of the best ever years for British pop music.

If you're into that obviously.

The entire premise of this thread is very silly but for what it's worth I don't especially rate any of the albums you mentioned from 1991 that highly, and you didn't even mention Nevermind!

I wonder why people on this site always say music made 1970s or after is the best. Why not 1908, 1924, 1957, 1968, etc.? Or even pre-recording industry? How can you claim that the best music is the one you heard all the time?

Choosing the best year is not easy as it's all relative, however, I strongly believe the best decade for music was the 1970's. So much great music from this time and music that still sounds great today. You sure won't be able to say that 50 years from now about today's music.

1991 was a great year for music. It delivered two albums that would end up having a profound effect on my life: Phyllis Hyman "Prime Of My Life" and Mariah's "Emotions". Definately not the best year in music for me. But, it ranks somewhere up there.

I wonder how you changed the font for your post.

You're taking the piss, aren't you?

ah, the year of "little fluffy clouds", "innuendo" and "ring ring ring (ha ha hey)", "losing my religion",
"unfinished sympathy" and so many other great tunes

One of my favorites from 1991, the cheaters anthem "OPP"

Are you kidding me? 1991 is the year Letoya Jackson released the album No Relations. When I listened to it for the first time I knew it would be legendary right away. Epic. Sexbox remains a pop hit and Let's Rock The House is pure Beat-it style rock (notice how it even has "rock" in the name). Wild Side was a #1 hit in the Phillipines.

1967 when it comes to music albums:

The Beatles | Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

The Velvet Underground | The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Jimi Hendrix Experience | Are You Experienced

There's only one year, it's 1957.

Little Richard - Here's Little Richard

Miles Davis - The Birth of Cool

Ray Charles - The Great Ray Charles

These among Elvis, Chuck Berry, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Louie Armstrong, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Coleman Hawkins, Monk, Mingus, Johnny Cash and Chuck Berry.

It iiiiissss! And it was a very saccessful hit too, it peaked at #3 in Albania and #12 in Peru. Talk about worldwide saccess!

LOL, i've never even heard this Letoya Jackson song and wiki says the album was only released in Colombia, Germany and Holland. But hey, I approve of musical delusions, we all have them.

I couldn't name one Latoya Jackson song. She is practically talentless IMO.

Oh, look, a Janet fan! You are SO easy to spot with your pointless resentment of Letoya it's actually funny. There's a reason Toy has been named "The Pope Of Pop" and it isn't because you're all smart and we're fools. She has a very loyal, dedicated fanbase The Toy Soldiers who gather at The Church Of Letoya, and she has been popping them hits since the 70's regardless of whatever is going on on her personal life, regardless of that devilish Jack Gordon and her heartbreaking keloids. It shouldn't come as a surprise that she is a big star in the Phillipines and East Timor. If you've been to those places you know what I'm talking about. I mean, I've never been there but I know someone who has and he tells me: Letoya's BIG!

1978, for the peaking of the P-Funk if nothing else.
