Title: Best Year for Album Releases
Post by: Sicko FanAtic on September 01, 2018, 02:16:12 PM
For me, it's 1971, with 1970 and 1972 being close seconds. You've got:

Alice Cooper: Love it to Death and Killer

Yes: Fragile

Jethro Tull: Aqualung

Genesis: Nursery Cryme ( even though the rest of you disagree about the greatness of that one, haha)

Black Sabbath: Master of Reality

I'm sure I'm missing some, but those pack a hell of a whallop!

What's your year?

Also add in The Who:  Who's Next, and I agree 100%. :pub:
Although, I bet the metalheads around here will dispute this.
