I too am rather uninterested in the music of 1960. Basically year 2BB (before Beatles). The Ventures' Walk Don't Run was pretty spiffy though.


I guess you guys aren't into jazz thenWink

1960 had some pretty incredible albums for my tastes:

Miles - Sketches of Spain
Coltrane - Giant Steps
Eric Dolphy - Out There

A lot of albums from that year are on my 'want' list - especially from the jazz department.

Outside of it, there's also the fabulously freaky Stockhausen - KontakteBig smile Music for mice and small entities.

1989, wow that's a bit of a down year. My usual answer is Dream Theater's debut album. It was the Grateful Dead's last studio release, so I've got a soft spot for that album. Magma's re-release of Mekanik Kommandoh wasn't bad. I'm sure there are others too.

In the end, I'd probably pick Rush's Presto. I've been really enjoying that album lately, and I didn't even realize it was a 1989 release.

I'm going to give it to The Colour of Spring by Talk Talk, as I'm not in a metal mood right now. The other options are Somewhere in Time, Master of Puppets and Reign in Blood. A helluva metal year it was, 1986.
It's on PA!

Interesting, '94 is one of my favourite years.




What can you recommend me from 1994 then!? I'm interested heh.

If you like metal, I suggest Focus by Cynic and Awake by Dream Theater. If you prefer more traditional prog, I've got nothing.

Don't know about any album from 1954, but Elvis recorded That's All Right Mama and Bill Haley released Rock Around the Clock and Shake, Rattle and Roll.
So I guess it was a significant year, when rock music was born.
Thus I'm as old as solid rock. LOL

1986... Either Metallica's Master of Puppets or Univers Zero's Heatwave. To be fair, my collection from that year is pretty sparse.

The older you are the harder it gets to get hard about the music that came out in the year you were born? Wink
