    What year does everyone think was the best for producing music?

    I think 1995- god it makes me feel old- ten years ago :eek: , still hard to believe.

    My reason for 1995 is:

    Mellon Collie by the Smashing Pumpkins was released
    As was Tragic Kingdom by No Doubt
    We also got the debuts from Alanis Morissette and Garbage.

    I reckon i was a pretty good year for my favourite bands. :D

    Music is timeless, I tend not to think of it in terms of years.

    Jeff Buckley - Grace (1994)
    Muse - Origin of Symmetry (2001)
    Berkeley - Hopes, Prayers and Bubblegum (2003)

    PS - I had to look the release year for each of those up, because I generally dont associate my music with a 'year', and I would assume very few people do.

    I think 1970-1989 were the best years in music. The worst were 1994-2001 or so.

    yeah i know it wasn't Alanis's debut, her other 2 albums were pop, but it was her first album that saw her career took off, thats what i kinda meant. Same goes for No Doubt, they had 2 albums before Tragic Kingdom

    1989 - 1990 was an incredible couple of years for extreme metal. Debuts from Morbid Angel, Obituary, Entombed, Autopsy, Paradise Lost and Darkthrone - all still classic albums! Spiritual Healing from Death and Harmony Corruption from Napalm Death; two excellent releases IMHO. And Judas Priest stunning everyone with Painkiller. Great times.....

    Roxy music: For your pleasure, stranded
    Al Green: Call me
    Marvin Gaye: let's get it on
    New york dolls: new york dolls
    The Eagles: desperado
