Best Year In Music?

So I was thinking about 2006 in music...It's been a good year with Rabbit Fur Coat, Fox Confessor Brings the Flood, At War With the Mystics, Return to Cookie Mountain, The Avalanche and sheer awesomeness like The Crane Wife and Emily Haines's solo album yet to come.

But compare that to some of the music years of the past.  For example, here are the highlights of 1971:

  • All Things Must Pass
  • Aqualung
  • Blue
  • Electric Warrior
  • Hunky Dory
  • Imagine
  • L.A. Woman
  • Led Zeppelin IV
  • Meddle
  • Pearl
  • Sticky Fingers
  • Tarkus
  • What's Goin On
  • Who's Next (which, if you ask me, is the best rock album of all time)

WOW.  It's hard to imagine a year that huge today, even with the current upswing in great music from the indie scene.
