the YEAR with the most quality music?

in your humblest opinion, what year do most of your favourite albums/songs revolve around? i'm searching for some kind of musical epicenter. i have to think about this some, but i'm probably stuck somewhere in the '93-'96 era. i'm still discovering great records dating back to this time. and will probably be listening to mid-'90s era revival stations someday.

most CD's have a copyright date on the back if you look. i always pay attention to those, but i realize some people don't even store their CD's in their original jewel or cardboard cases.

feel free to cite specific albums, songs, to back up your case

soul twinz! this was the year that immediately came into my head when i read the title.

i would add "cosmo's factory" by ccr and "the man who sold the world" by bowie as exhibits in this case. but really, i chose 1970 for zeppelin 3. the best zeppelin album of all time.

Well, 1995 was the year music spoke to me the most. Or maybe 1997. But I think a lot of what spoke to me in 1995 was released in 1994, I was so behind the times.

1994

Though it would have been better if Prince could have put out something half decent that year.

i think it takes a year or more in some cases for a song to be absorbed by the public. at least if you're following the radio. the rise and fall of the charts, etc.

after some careful analysis, i have decided that 1996 was the year for me... at least one of the better summers i remember.. and i was sixteen

a sampling of albums that came out...
'Regretfully Yours' - Superdrag
'Silent '88' - Hood
'The Score' - Fugees
'What Would the Community Think' - Cat Power
'Tidal' - Fiona Apple
'They Spent their Wild & Youthful Days in the Glittering World of the Salons' - Swirlies
'Electriclarryland' - Butthole Surfers
'Feed Me Weird Things' - Squarepusher
'Among My Swan' - Mazzy Star
'The Presidents II' - The Presidents of the United States of America'

that song 'Standing Outside a Broken Telephone Booth with Money in My Hand' - Primitive Radio Gods was on the radio
they were still playing stuff from 'Melloncollie & the Infinite Sadness'
Everclear was on the scene with 'Heartspark Dollarsign'
Garbage was fresh and their best on the scene too
the song 'Tourniquet' by Marilyn Manson

it's weird to see all your music juxtaposed within the same year. i know i wasn't even listening to all the above at the same time. and i'm probably missing a whole lot more.

2004 was a pretty good year for music too. at least there seemed to be a wealth of creative music coming out of nowhere. my very favourite albums don't seem to line up historically tho

Oh man. I rated that.

I should probably tell you off for misusing "quality", as it's a pet hate of mine, but it's a good thread and all.

"Quality" on its own doesn't imply good or bad. "Most quality music" doesn't really mean "most good music". Truly anal people attach a qualifier, as in "high quality" or "low quality", or "middling quality".

We aren't rugby commentators, people. "Quality ball to the backline".

is it only American to say something's 'quality' when they mean good quality? it's kind of besides the point of the thread, but you say you are a teacher, so i should probably mind you.

No, it's universal, it's just lazy and not technically correct. Naturally, you tend to get away with it outside of formal writing. But you shouldn't. :anal:
