70, 71, 72, can’t argue, but mine is 1973. Dark Side of the Moon, Houses of the Holy, Brain Salad Surgery, Aladdin Sane, Queen, runners up; Innervisions, Quadrophenia, Mott, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Abandoned Luncheonette, Selling England By The Pound, Spectrum, Goats Head Soup, New York Dolls, Raw Power-Stooges, There Goes Rhymin’ Simon, Call Me-Al Green, Eat It, Birds of Fire and even A Passion Play. An unbelievable year for great music.

I am a 88 guy too. I was 12 and had started to listen to metal at 9. There's something magical that happens when you are that young getting into music and it stays with you forever.
1983: 1. Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind 2. Metallica - Kill 'em All 3. Mercyful Fate - Melissa 4. Dio - Holy Dive 5. Black Sabbath - Born Again Favorite Maiden, MF/King Diamond and Dio records, the Metallica debut changed the musical landscape forever and while 'Born Again' isn't my favorite Sabbath, it's up there and definitely the most unique album they've done!!!

I like most of your shows but this is on a whole different level. Love the stories and the personalities.

Although I think 1980 was likely the greatest, for me 1981 had some of real gems, plus it's the first year I remember buying a new release for the first time (Ghost in the Machine and Music from the Elder). This year also has my favorite Rush album and my favorite song of all time, For Those About to Rock. My top 20 albums: 1. Moving Pictures-Rush 2. Diary of a Madman-Ozzy 3. Exit Stage Left-Rush 4. For Those About To Rock-AC/DC 5. High N' Dry-Def Leppard 6. Fair Warning-Van Halen 7. Killers-Iron Maiden 8. Ghost In the Machine-The Police 9. No Sleep 'Till Hammersmith-Motorhead 10. Mob Rules-Black Sabbath 11. Denim and Leather-Saxon 12. Breaker-Accept 13. Fire of Unknown Origin-BOC 14. Escape-Journey 15. El Loco-ZZ Top 16. Precious Time-Pat Benetar 17. Abacab-Genesis 18. Shake It Up-The Cars 19. Too Fast For Love-Motley Crue 20. Music from the Elder-KISS

UFO - 'The Wild, the Willing, and the Innocent' was a great 1981 album too.
My favorites: 1. 1976 (Rainbow Rising, Sad Wings Of Destiny, A Trick Of The Tail, Leftoverture, A Day At The Races) 2. 1984 (Powerslave, Ride The Lightning, Defenders Of The Faith, The Last In Line, Love At First Sting) 3. 1971 (Master Of Reality, Led Zeppelin IV, Nursery Cryme, Who's Next, The Yes Album)
Easy for me: 1976. I turned 12 and loved music since I was a toddler. This was the year that my musical awareness moved beyond random singles on the radio and into albums and bands. 1. Boston 2. Hotel California 3. 2112 4. Trick of the Tail 5. Sad Wings of Destiny And there are so many others......
Agree with Chris, 1981 was pretty strong MSG, Def Leppard "High'n'dry", Black Sabbath "Mob rules", Riot "Fire down under" and Iron Maiden "Killers" , Van Halen "Fair Warning", Blackfoot "Marauder", etc....

Very nice list! Actually its hard to find bad albums from 1973
This was absolutely the toughest question for me. I know what albums I love and when most of them came out. However I have so many years jumbled in my head and when I make a list of albums, I get all the years from 1970 to ‘76. So I googled best 100 rock albums for each year. 1970 got votes for sheer number of great albums. But 1971 had so many iconic, unforgettable albums. So Pete and Steve were both right!
1980. Iron Maiden, Heaven and Hell, British Steel, Strong Arm of the Law, Back in Black, Permanent Waves, Blizzard of Oz, Wheels of Steel, Ace of Spades, Angel Witch, On Through the Night, Lightning to the Nations, Animal Magnetism, MSG
No question .... 1976 Kiss - Destroyer, Rock and Roll Over, Originals Queen - A Day at the Races Peter Frampton - Frampton Comes Alive Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak, Johnny the Fox Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny Led Zeppelin - Presence, The Song Remains the Same Blue Oyster Cult - Agents of Fortune Rush - 2112, All the World's a Stage Rainbow - Rising AC/DC - High Voltage, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap Boston - Boston Sweet - Give Us a Wink Aerosmith - Rocks Starz - Starz Jeff Beck - Wired Steve Miller Band - Fly Like an Eagle Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band - Live Bullet, Night Moves Al Di Meola - Land of the Midnight Sun Kansas - Leftoverture Eagles - Hotel California Scorpions - Virgin Killer Ted Nugent - Free For All Tommy Bolin - Private Eyes Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Back My Bullets, One More From the Road Genesis - A Trick of the Tail, Wind & Wuthering Heart - Dreamboat Annie Doobie Brothers - Takin' it to the Streets Wings - At the Speed of Sound Boz Scaggs - Silk Degrees 10 cc - How Dare You Bad Company - Run With the Pack Billy Joel - Turnstiles Blondie - Blondie Ramones - Ramones Return to Forever - Romantic Warrior Stanley Clarke - School Days Mahogany Rush - Mahogany Rush IV Robin Trower - Live Jackson Browne - The Pretender ZZ Top - Tejas Al Stewart - Year of the Cat Electric Light Orchestra - A New World Record Styx - Crystal Ball Triumph - Triumph Frank Zappa - Zoot Allures ABBA - Arrival

1992: Black Sabbath-Dehumanizer Pantera-Vulgar Display of Power Dream Theater-Images and Words Megadeth-Coutdown to Extinction Faith No More-Angel Dust. All classic albums!!!

@@kyle.sterritt Great that you like it! I sometimes feel it's not talked about as much as Slaughter of the Soul and Jester Race from In Flames. To me lyrically it's magnificient and I love those melodies.
Great show guys! I love the perspective from the “ Older guys” vs the Younger guys”. The ‘80s for them was the ‘70s for us. Looking back we were so spoiled from ‘68 thru about ‘75 when dang near everything would be a classic today. There was almost too much to absorb and appreciate back then. Oh little did we know!!! And Pete...no Genesis?😱
FAIR WARNING 1981 top 5-10 album in my collection! Love it. VH

1983 for some time has felt to me like it is a musical cradle, a special time, for both metal and rock. My top 5 selections from this year (with too many honorable mentions to mention) - Def Leppard - Pyromania Huey Lewis and the News - Sports Quiet Riot - Metal Health Police - Synchronicity Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind
Freaking difficult to decide on a year haha. For now, I'm going with 1972: - Exile On Main Street - Vol. 4 - Machine Head - Made In Japan - Demons And Wizards - Can't Buy A Thrill - Close To The Edge - The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars - Thick As A Brick - Foxtrot - Chicago V
1981 Riot - Fire Down Under Van Halen - Fair Warning Black Sabbath - Mob Rules Venom - Welcome to Hell Thin Lizzy - Renegade Honorable mentions: Iron Maiden - Killers, Ozzy Osbourne - Diary Of A Madman, Saxon - Denim and Leather
Sign of the Southern Cross is definitely my favorite Dio-Sabbath song by a mile. One of Iommi's best riffs. (Which says a lot) Blows away anything on the Heaven & Hell Album.

Great, great topic, but also very excruciating. We have to pick one year, and leave out so many other awesome years of releases? And, on top of that, we can only pick five albums from the year of our choosing, and leave off the tons of other amazing releases from said year? This hurts. I have to go with 1974. It's very personal; too many top favorites from my personal top favorite artists. 1a. *Queen* - Queen II (3 faves: Fave album from fave band, and fave album of all-time.) 1b. *Queen* - Sheer Heart Attack (My second fave album by my fave band. Both Queen albums listed were the first albums I got from them. This one I loved immediately. The other took years for me to swallow.) 2. *Magma* - Kohntarkosz (My second fave band. Intense, hypnotic, sepulchral stuff. This band is far from being for everyone, but they're super-special.) 3. *King Crimson* - Red (A top 10 band for me, and this searing, devastating album is my second fave from this band.) 4. *Todd Rundgren* - Todd (Another top 10 artist. My second fave Rundgren album, solo anyway. Again, very personal.) 5. *Yes* - Relayer (My fave Yes album, or in a tie with Close To The Edge.) Steve cheated, so I did, too. I could list tons more, but I'll stop. Painful. Btw, that Fave Album series was the bomb diggity ;-)

Brilliant show guys, thanks all.
1984. For me growing up being born in 1975. I remember going to the old Patriots Sullivan Stadium games and freezing to death. Tail gaiting as a 9 year old. My older brother and I were later Pro athlete prospects. In the local papers being All State Athletes. All we did was throw a baseball and football to each other all day long and listen to Motley Crue and Ratt back in those days. Awesome years remembering back
An almost impossible task, but I’d probably have to go with 1980. It’s the year I hit my teens and there were so many classic albums released that year, as others have mentioned already. I’d add two classic Saxon releases to the list (Wheels of Steel & Strong Arm), the first MSG album, and Whitesnake Live in the Heart of the City. On a separate matter, that Queensryche Empire tour where they played Mindcrime in its entirety was one of the best live performances I’ve ever seen.....Geoff Tate’s vocals were spectacular!! Great show guys.......keep up the good work👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏻
1971,1976,1977,1979,1981...My favorite years in music..
1985 was a year of two halves for me. I had been going out with this great girl for some time but in June we broke up. The music kind of reflected that year and that relationship. 1 Misplaced Childhood. This album helped me through that break up. There was a lot of similarities in this album and this girl. You could say she was my Kayleigh. 2 Brothers I Arms. Went to see Dire Straits and yes, I have mentioned this before, it was the gig I took her to. Two days after we broke up. Why Worry and So Far Away had a lot of meaning 3 On A Storytellers Night. The best album Magnum ever did in my opinion 4 7800F Okay Bon Jovi dont get mentioned much but just after we split, I went to Donington MOR and they were on. I had never listened to them before, didn't know anything about them and they opened the show with Japanese girl singing. I thought WTF is this? But they just jumped onto the stage, crashing out the opening chords of Tokyo Road and my jaw dropped. they did an amazing set. 5 No Jacket Required. Just a great album Just to show how my taste had changed I also have to pick 1980. I had started college and the NWOBHM was in full swing, although I was rather old school 1 Back In Black. I was on holiday in Cornwall and sat in a bar with some mates listening to Tommy Vance play this in full on the eve it was released. We were all blown away. 2 Live Fleetwood Mac. Just for the best version of Rhiannon and the haunting I'm So Afraid. 3 Live In The Heart Of The City 4 Heaven & Hell 5 Iron Maiden
another great video...all you guys were fun to listen to..of course, pete and steve, you guys were the closest to a year i would have chosen...perhaps even going back to '68 or '69 (maybe '73 so i could get dark side of the moon in there)...but loved them all...great job...be well stay well all of you...peace...rocky
I was there in 1971 (10 yrs old). Master of Reality was the first Black Sabbath album I ever heard. Hearing Children of the Grave for the first time was an epiphany. Metalhead from that day on. Still love cranking that song and Supernaut from Vol IV.

1991 is always special to me. It was the year that I first got into rock. Van Halen- For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge U2- Achtung Baby Metallica- The Black Album Nirvana- Nevermind Ozzy Osbourne- No More Tears
For me its the 80s and 90s, but 1986 was the best year of music.🤘🤩
I'm going to say 1987 because when I look at my media player it's the year that has the most hours of CDs ripped from. I have 25.1 hours of music for 1987. I currently don't have all my CDs ripped though, but most of them. The runner up is 1992 with 24.4 hours of music, followed by 1994 with 22.8 hours(back in 1994 things were different then before, Slayer was what I adored), then 1986 with 22.7 hours of music.
1976 - I was 15. 1. Rainbow -- Rainbow Rising 2. Boston -- Boston 3. Judas Priest -- Sad Wings Of Destiny 4. UFO -- No Heavy Petting 5. Rush -- 2112 Honorable Mentions... KISS -- Destroyer Kansas -- Leftoverture Thin Lizzy -- Jailbreak Led Zeppelin -- Presence Judas Priest -- Sin After Sin
with you pete,an extremely difficult task to pick one year from the greatest decade ever for music,but it has to be '71 for me. saw Sabbath at leicester de montford hall (midlands of England) and what a blast that was. seen them multiple times since and theres really no one else like them. '70 was pretty damn good too,as was '73. far too difficult. #1 album though from that year for me is Who's Next from the mighty Who.such energy and every track a banger.

1980 for NWOBHM, 1978 for Van Halen 1, but THE year for me is 1976: the pinacle of non stop amazing classic releases. Rainbow Rising, Aerosmith ( rocks), Rush (2112), Thin Lizzy (Jailbreak and my favourite Johnny the Fox), Deep Purple (made in Europe), Angel (helluvaband), Boston debut, Kansas (leftoverture), KISS (destroyer), Moxy II, Priest ( sad wings of destiny) , BOC ( agents of fortune), Sabbath ( technical ecstasy), Scorpions ( virgin killer), UFO (no heavy pettin’), Queen ( a day at the races ), Bad Co ( running with the pack), Sweet ( give us a wink), Yesterday & Today debut, two first AC/DC albums, Blackfoot ( flying high), Mahogany Rush IV, Triumph début, ZZ Top (tejas), Starz debut
Pete for President !! -another great show -1980 for me -i'm too pissed to list em x
Already did a run at picking the best rock songs by year myself. 71 was the year I had the most trouble with picking just one.
For me 1973 1) The Dark Side Of The Moon 2) Selling England By The Pound 3) Pronounced Leh-Nerd-Skin-Nerd 4) Goodbye Yellow Brick Road 5) Houses Of The Holy My Runner Up was 1976 1) Boston 2) A Trick Of The Tail 3) Hotel California 4) Leftoverture 5) 2112 Other Years: 69, 77, 75
1980 and it ain't close. 1976 is a distant second.
1977: •Queen: News Of The World •Rush: A Farewell To Kings •ELO: Out Of The Blue •Earth, Wind & Fire: All N’ All •Pink Floyd: Animals
Pete these 5 way discussions are great. Interesting personalities and cool stories. Very enjoyable. Would be cool to hear from Elliot again some time
1974 1 Yes - Relayer 2 Genesis - The Lamb lies down on Broadway 3 Mike Oldfield - Hergest Ridge 4 Bowie - Diamond Dogs 5 Camel - Mirage
1973. Dark Side of the Moon, Tales from Topographic Oceans, In a Glass House, Larks Tongues in Aspic, Queen, Quadrophenia, Selling England by the Pound, Camel, Tubular Bells, Six Wives of Henry VIII, Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh, Flying Teapot, Headhunters, A Passion Play, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Brain Salad Surgery. The list goes on.
1984 Mercyful Fate - Don’t Break the Oath W.A.S.P. - W.A.S.P. Cirith Ungol - King of the Dead Kick Axe - Vices Sortilege - Metamorphose Metallica - Ride the Lightning Dokken - Tooth and Nail Omen - Battle Cry Witch Cross - Fit For Fight Griffin - Flight of the Griffin Good lord. I couldn’t do just 5, had to make it 10 and THAT was torture. 1984 ruled for metal.
Very cool show Pete. Very interesting all the comments of each election, whether of the year or of each album. I agree with Chris, 1981 and the albums he mentions, it is one of the years where more talent appeared with Maiden (Killers), Rush (Movin pictures), Ozzy (Diary of a Madman), Sabbath ( Mob Rules): tremendous albums. All are awesome !!!!!!
Some excellent years for rock music: 1967 for psychedelic rock (doors, beatles, hendrix...), 1972 for prog rock (tull, yes, genesis...), 1974 for hard rock band first releases (kiss, rush, acdc, judas priest...), 1982 for classic metal (beast, screaming, creatures...), 1986 for thrash metal (peace sells, reign in blood, puppets, pleasure to kill...). But every year has its share of brilliant releases.
I could watch these conversations for hours guys. It really helps with missing out chatting music with my friends during lockdown. I’ll go 1994 (I’m 35) Tom Petty - Wildflowers Oasis - Definitely Maybe Therapy? - Troublegum Counting Crows - August & Everything After Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible
1971 A great and diverse year. Who's Next Sticky Fingers LZ4 / Runes The Yes Album Aqualung Tarkus Ram Pearl Tapestry Nursery Crime Every Good Boy Deserves Favor Every Picture Tells A Story Blue Hunky Dory Madman Across The Water Imagine Electric Warrior LA Woman Master of Reality Tupelo Honey What's Going On Allman Bros.

I think I will just pick a great 5-year straight run of excellent metal/hard rock releases: 1983: Holy Diver, Piece of Mind 1984: Ride the Lightning, Last In Line 1985: Live After Death, Killing Is My Business... 1986: Peace Sells, Master of Puppets, Somewhere in Time 1987: Whitesnake 87, Randy Rhoads/Ozzy Tribute But I could honestly probably pick another 5 year run of hard rock and classic metal if I went further back in time. Yet another good show. Thanks!
i would say 73 but could chang my mind on any of the early 70s i dig petes picks the best 71 for me before 76
Great show, I hope you'll do another one. The first year to come to my mind is 1983 DIO Holy diver OZZY Bark at the moon Iron Maiden Piece of mind Def Leppard Pyromania Accept Balls to the wall Black Sabbath Born again Saxon Power and the glory Europe Europe These were the records I grew up with at 14 discovering music in a different way. 1984 was also a great year for me but '83 is special.
Again you take the prize, Pete! Master of Reality is absolutely one of the top 2-3 best metal albums ever! You wouldn’t have gone wrong with The Yes Album as it’s still one of my favorite prog albums. And this time I actually heard the majority of Nick’s picks but it was Ryan who confounded me with stuff I never heard of.
