Dead Can Dance - Aion, easily. I don't think I could find anything else from 1990 that could top that

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 then 
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 - Kontakte  Music for mice and small entities. |
Nope, not a jazzer...though there was a Buddy Rich/Max Roach album called "Rich vs Roach" that sounds like fun

People I thought were older are actually younger. People I though were younger are actually older. Plot twists everywhere.
I think my favorite from '96 are "Wilco's "Being There," or Aphex Twin's "Richard D. James Album," but there are plenty of albums I haven't listened to yet that I predict will surpass them.

Hmmm....try picking something from 1951......
|
At least '51 had an "Erik Satie/Arnold Schoenberg" album...other than that, a pretty bleak collection of broadway musicals |
Well...there were some jazz lps and some decent classical things then but most of it was show tunes and pop people like Doris day or Sinatra......maybe I'll go for whatever Frank had out that year.

1996...
hmmm....
Nothing?
Edit: Forgot Sing to God was released in 1996. While I enjoy it, it's not really the "best" anything for me, but I guess it will be a placeholder until I find something else.
