Simple question really. Either released that year or recorded that year are fair game.
For me it's Charlie Brown's Christmas vs. Rubber Soul. I'm not sure yet.

I don't generally like '90s music, and '94 was especially weak. I might have to say Anglagard's Epilog, or Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works vol. 2

What about jazz? Blue Train, Monk's Music, Relaxin'... What a year!
It's actually much harder for me... the only 1988 album I can think of right now is It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. Very good but can't say I'm crazy about it.

1993. If it counts it's Ethel Waters The Chronological Classic 1929-1931. But for albums recorded around the same time as the release it's a tie between Newfoundland by AMM and Timelord by Momus.

1. Sketches Of Spain - Miles Davis 2. Giant Steps - John Coltrane 3. Free Jazz - Ornette Coleman 4. The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery 5. Rights Of Swing - Phil Woods
If I had to choose 1 album, I would go with Coltrane.

| that's neat, Richard, and thanks for the 1962 in music link-read it, and there's a lot of facts i didn't know about the death of conductor Bruno Walter is still very disturbing to me,though i have known about it for a long time- the man means a real lot to me with his surviving books and recordings did not know that Brubeck influenced prog-interesting

'Haddaway' from Haddaway. I was born in the greatest year for music to
ever exist.
I refuse to pick just one. Top 5: 'Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?' from the Cranberries; 'Undertow' from Tool; 'Exile in Guyville' from Liz Phair; 'Bloody Kisses' from Type O Negative; 'Pork Soda' from Primus.

Hi,
(Good thing you didn't ask about literature or art ... because I would plaster this place in cubistic colors and words!)
This was too hard to get to .. since there really was not something for me to latch on to as you request. 1950 was not the age of music as you and I have come to know it, and all the more reason to make sure you see the Tom Dowd DVD when you get the chance.
So I went on a rampage at Wikipoop and the record stuff that I have only to find what I already knew ... I sure have listened to a heck of a lot of music in my life! ... and I never really thought any of it was bad ... but I will say this about a lot of the folks that have birthdays in 1950 ... WE HAVE A BIG MOUTH AND LOVE TO SING! ... sorry PA, but it's true! (and this is supposed to be done Peter Hammill style, of course, or it doesn't get across "pregressively" at all! )
So here goes: ... 1950 ... the year of the singer and the movies!
The year 1950 stunk for pop progressive music that the PA can discuss.
It's even worse in that the majority of the music that can be found shows EXACTLY what the Tom Dowd story on the DVD shows and explains ... that the movie studios took over the record business and that the only things that could make it to radio and get "famous" were the stars ... and I still say, just like Tom, that this was the beginning of the movie insdustry control of the arts in America ... the only music you heard and got to know ... was not all that jazz out there, but the movie stars and both Hollywood and Broadway shows.
So with that said, there is a lot of "classical" music listed because at that time, there still was some creedence and value given to that stuff, where today the volume of music sold in pop music genre's is so massively insane, that it is rendering almost all classical music a total waste of time and money.
With that said, some hit records on that year that I doubt you have ever heard ... but some are very well known and you could have heard it ... I doubt Metalica fans would hear any of this, btw ... hehehe!
Are You Lonesome Tonite - Al Jolson Bewiotched - Doris Day Boo Hoo - Guy Lombardo Dream a Little Dream of Me - Frankie Lane L'Hymne a L'amour - Edith Piaf (one of the first things that gave me the music kiss! --- BTW, the other was "I can't stop Loving You" by Ray Charles but the son of a gun never told me that was not about a woman, but music! That turkey!) Mona Lisa - Nat King Cole Peter Cottontail - Gene Autry
Major Albums released which show you what the movie studios were really after:
Auld Lang Syne - Bing Crosby Blue of the Night - Bing Crosby Christmas Greetings - Bing Crosby Cole Porter Songs - Bing Crosby Drifting and Dreaming - Bing Crosby Historical America in Song - Burl Ives Sing and Dance with Frank Sinatra Songs by Gershwin - Bing Crosby Tea for Two - Doris Day Young Man with a Horn - Doris Day Country Feeling - Dinah Shore
And then: Bird and Diz - Charlie and Dizzy Charlie Parker with Strings Ella Sings Gershwin - Ella Fitzgerald The Fat Man - Fats Domino Benny Goodman - Live at Carnegie Hall
Classical Music:
Dmitri Shostakovich -- Op. 87: Twenty-Four Preludes and Fugues (1950-1951)
Dmitri Shostakovich -- Op. 85: Music to the film Belinsky for orchestra and chorus (1950)
Dmitri Shostakovich -- Op. 84: Two Romances on Verses by Lermontov for male voice and piano (1950)
Dmitri Shostakovich -- Op. 85a: Four Choruses from the Music to Byelinsky for s.a.t.b. chorus a cappella (1950)
Pierre Boulez -- Polyphonie X
John Cage -- String Quartet in Four Parts
Arnold Schoenberg -- Pslam 130 "De Profundis" Op 50b
Arnold Schoenberg -- Modern Psalm Op 50 (Unfinished)
Karlheinz Stockhausen -- Choral
Karlheinz Stockhausen -- Chore fur Doris
Karlheinz Stockhausen -- Drei Lieder
Gian-Carlo Menotti -- The Consul (Opera)
Musicals:
Carousel (Rodgers and Hammerstein) opens in London
Guys and Dolls (Frank Loesser) opens in New York
Peter Pan (Leonard Bernstein) opens in New York
Some birthdays and the most telling thing about 1950! Natalie Cole - Singer Steve Hackett - Guitar Peter Gabriel - Singer Walter Becker - Steely Dan Karen Carpenter - Singer Roger Hodgson - Supertramp Teddy Pendergrass - Singer Tony Banks - Genesis Peter Frampton - Singer Lou Gramm - Foreigner Mary Hopkin - Singer Billy Squier - Singer Stevie Wonder - Singer Bernie Taupin - Lyricist Suzi Quatro - Singer Laurie Anderson - Singer Ann Wilson - Heart Paul Kossoff -- Free Fee Waybill -- The Tubes Mike Rutherford - Genesis Tom Petty - Singer Steven Van Zandt -- E Street Band Tina Weymouth - Talking Heads Joan Armatrading - Singer Danny Kirwin (ex-Fleetwood Mac)
This was fun and sorry to jingle the thread but this was too good to pass up and a great idea!

And that dope thing wasn't too bad either at the time! The folks were weirder though with their flowers in their hair and thinking that it was what made it all cool. Some of them were so plastic that it was pathetic ... and of course they showed their color later during a national anthem by leaving all their garbage behind ... the soul of a nation of people that ... didn't care!
But it was a marvellous time, and I loved it.

1988
Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime Steve Roach - Dreamtime Return Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden
I don't really like thrash, speed, or most 80s metal, so that's that. Also, f**k Daydream Nation. GOD that's one's overhyped mediocre mess.

Did they release albums in 1958?!!!!
I thought they only had 45s and 78s back then!!!!!!!!
Seriously though last year I bought the 50th anniversary 2CD edition of "Take 5" by Dave Brubeck. (The original album was released in 1959). So I suppose that is close enough....I was born in December anyway.
BTW the "Take 5" 50th anniversary 2CD release is a gem.

1989 (woo, pre-1989, I made it, not garbage)
Well, I sure hope I wasn't conceived on The Cure. I can think of Gabriel's Passion, really one of my favourites. There's also Marillion's Seasons End, Jan Garbarek's Rosenfole, Laurie Anderson's Strange Angels, Naked City. Eh. Also, there's a referential Scelsi recording with the Quatro Pezzi / Anahit / Uaxuctum - nice! And Aki Takahashi recorded Feldman's Triadic Memories in that year, love it as well.

Ok, here's what I've got from '67. Hard to choose a favorite really.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band The Doors Strange Days Are You Experienced Axis: Bold As Love Forever Changes The Piper At the Gates Of Dawn The Velvet Underground & Nico Absolutely Free
Probably a tossup between Sgt. Pepper, Experienced, Piper and Absolutely Free.
Bet you probably thought I was 15 or something.
/fun fact: "Light My Fire" was the #1 song when I was born

But I missed out on free love.

It was over rated and in many cases ... not free love at all. In California it was way too legalistic for me ... it was always a deal ... you got the dope (not just that, but dinner, money, movie, car, drive in, anything was always good) ... and you got the fun ... sometimes!
In Madison, WI, things were nicer and more fun, and the women were actually a lot more interesting. California, for me, had too much show and not enough go more often than not. They say SF was different, only a 5 hour drive north, but I doubt it ... as things in a big city are never free ... there is always a price!
Today, things are far "free'r" than they were in those days, btw!

This thread is making me feel old. People born the same year as Automatic for the People came out, or August and Everything After? I still think of that as "new" music.

But you are old. I can say that because you are almost a year older than me.

No one has to force me to feel old, I feel old because I am. I revel in it except for some of those aches and pains that come along with being almost older than dirt.

Hi,
(Good thing you didn't ask about literature or art ... because I would plaster this place in cubistic colors and words!)
This was too hard to get to .. since there really was not something for me to latch on to as you request. 1950 was not the age of music as you and I have come to know it, and all the more reason to make sure you see the Tom Dowd DVD when you get the chance.
So I went on a rampage at Wikipoop and the record stuff that I have only to find what I already knew ... I sure have listened to a heck of a lot of music in my life! ... and I never really thought any of it was bad ... but I will say this about a lot of the folks that have birthdays in 1950 ... WE HAVE A BIG MOUTH AND LOVE TO SING! ... sorry PA, but it's true! (and this is supposed to be done Peter Hammill style, of course, or it doesn't get across "pregressively" at all! )
So here goes: ... 1950 ... the year of the singer and the movies!
The year 1950 stunk for pop progressive music that the PA can discuss.
It's even worse in that the majority of the music that can be found shows EXACTLY what the Tom Dowd story on the DVD shows and explains ... that the movie studios took over the record business and that the only things that could make it to radio and get "famous" were the stars ... and I still say, just like Tom, that this was the beginning of the movie insdustry control of the arts in America ... the only music you heard and got to know ... was not all that jazz out there, but the movie stars and both Hollywood and Broadway shows.
So with that said, there is a lot of "classical" music listed because at that time, there still was some creedence and value given to that stuff, where today the volume of music sold in pop music genre's is so massively insane, that it is rendering almost all classical music a total waste of time and money.
With that said, some hit records on that year that I doubt you have ever heard ... but some are very well known and you could have heard it ... I doubt Metalica fans would hear any of this, btw ... hehehe!
Are You Lonesome Tonite - Al Jolson Bewiotched - Doris Day Boo Hoo - Guy Lombardo Dream a Little Dream of Me - Frankie Lane L'Hymne a L'amour - Edith Piaf (one of the first things that gave me the music kiss! --- BTW, the other was "I can't stop Loving You" by Ray Charles but the son of a gun never told me that was not about a woman, but music! That turkey!) Mona Lisa - Nat King Cole Peter Cottontail - Gene Autry
Major Albums released which show you what the movie studios were really after:
Auld Lang Syne - Bing Crosby Blue of the Night - Bing Crosby Christmas Greetings - Bing Crosby Cole Porter Songs - Bing Crosby Drifting and Dreaming - Bing Crosby Historical America in Song - Burl Ives Sing and Dance with Frank Sinatra Songs by Gershwin - Bing Crosby Tea for Two - Doris Day Young Man with a Horn - Doris Day Country Feeling - Dinah Shore
And then: Bird and Diz - Charlie and Dizzy Charlie Parker with Strings Ella Sings Gershwin - Ella Fitzgerald The Fat Man - Fats Domino Benny Goodman - Live at Carnegie Hall
Classical Music:
Dmitri Shostakovich -- Op. 87: Twenty-Four Preludes and Fugues (1950-1951)
Dmitri Shostakovich -- Op. 85: Music to the film Belinsky for orchestra and chorus (1950)
Dmitri Shostakovich -- Op. 84: Two Romances on Verses by Lermontov for male voice and piano (1950)
Dmitri Shostakovich -- Op. 85a: Four Choruses from the Music to Byelinsky for s.a.t.b. chorus a cappella (1950)
Pierre Boulez -- Polyphonie X
John Cage -- String Quartet in Four Parts
Arnold Schoenberg -- Pslam 130 "De Profundis" Op 50b
Arnold Schoenberg -- Modern Psalm Op 50 (Unfinished)
Karlheinz Stockhausen -- Choral

Karlheinz Stockhausen -- Drei Lieder
Gian-Carlo Menotti -- The Consul (Opera)
Musicals:
Carousel (Rodgers and Hammerstein) opens in London
Guys and Dolls (Frank Loesser) opens in New York
Peter Pan (Leonard Bernstein) opens in New York
Some birthdays and the most telling thing about 1950! Natalie Cole - Singer Steve Hackett - Guitar Peter Gabriel - Singer Walter Becker - Steely Dan Karen Carpenter - Singer Roger Hodgson - Supertramp Teddy Pendergrass - Singer Tony Banks - Genesis Peter Frampton - Singer Lou Gramm - Foreigner Mary Hopkin - Singer Billy Squier - Singer Stevie Wonder - Singer Bernie Taupin - Lyricist Suzi Quatro - Singer Laurie Anderson - Singer Ann Wilson - Heart Paul Kossoff -- Free Fee Waybill -- The Tubes Mike Rutherford - Genesis Tom Petty - Singer Steven Van Zandt -- E Street Band Tina Weymouth - Talking Heads Joan Armatrading - Singer Danny Kirwin (ex-Fleetwood Mac)
This was fun and sorry to jingle the thread but this was too good to pass up and a great idea! | My favorite musician, the former singer/guitar player for Triumvirat the late Helmut Koellen, was born in 1950 Also another fave musician of mine born that year, the former guitarist of Birth Control, Dirk Steffens
