    But I think it's sad to try and compare our decade(s), 2010s or 20s, with the decade then. If today's musicians had the same access to resources, funding and talent and record companies actively invested in their artists - we'd be singing praises of albums in this decade too.

    @Vanessa.P หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Doing the yearly deep dives has made me hesitant to proclaim much about ranking most post-80 years at this point. I've done enough diving of 65-79 to have a good idea where I would put those between deep dives here and my own mini dives but after that my deeper exploration still feels incomplete. Sure I know what a lot of my favourites are but I feel like when rating years there has to be an element of considering the depth too. As of right now, our deep dives of 82, 98, 84 and 94 have all gone differently than I ever would have guessed as far as assessing the full scope of those years. I'd be really curious to see how all the 80s and 90s years shake out after proper assessment, I feel like it might lead me to some different conclusions than I ever thought.
    Anyway, pretty well agree on the assessments of 65-79 overall.

    I really don't understand Jason's argument of 1965-1966 not being "deep enough". Like I understand what he tries to say, but it's crazy.
    I mean, by his own admission those years had "20-30 all time classics". Imagine getting a new classic album every two weeks, and still somehow thinking that the year was merely mid.
    I would rather have 20 albums that I will listen 100 times and nothing else, than 2000 albums that I will listen once.

    @michaelbushell4356 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I was 11 years old in 1970, so you’d think all the so called glory years of the early 1970s would be my years of choice. Yes, we had Floyd getting their act together, Gabriel-era Genesis, 10cc, Paul Simon and Neil Young, but the general singer/songwriter scene, heavy rock, Metal, Glam and anyone who noodled with the Blues and got nowhere meant nothing to me then and still means nothing to me now. 1975 was the nadir and it wasn’t until punk (in the UK) came in that interesting artists who had something different to say and ways to say it that my interest was piqued.
    I don’t really like Punk, but what came afterwards was fantastic: Joy Division, Talking Heads, Human League, REM, Peter Gabriel solo work, Prince, the best Springsteen material means that 1978 until 1988 is the best for me. 1980 is probably my favourite year as we had some of my absolute favourites: Closer, Remain In Light, PG3, and The River. 1986, with The Queen Is Dead, So, Graceland, Green and Colour Of Spring is a close second.
    I think you view years differently if you lived through them. I prefer the 1960s to the 1970s because I only understood that decade from a distance. It’s different if you have to live through it.

    70's was the decade. Reich and Co in the USA, ECM starting up with some masterpices, Jazz getting more interesting, innovative overall. Emergence of deep Ambient with Budd, Eno, and the better Krautrockers. French Art Rock at its Zenith. Interesting sounds coming out of Africa and occasionally South America. 'Black' mostly USA Soul getting deeper, more musically sophisticated. Deep Disco classics now and then hitting the pop charts. Plus the pop/rock tunes you guys gravitate towards from the UK/USA were often impressive. Roxy Music, Talking Heads, Gong, ...plus the golden age of singer songwriters like Mitchell. As to why, one theory is more economic equality, funding for art projects and less wars going on. I remember from 1985-1990 ish it was very difficult to find any new releases worth picking up across genres.

    Scientifically unimpeachable ranking. For me, 1967-1973 would be the mini-peak, 1964-1979 the broader peak. I think I have more "favorite albums" from 1970, but more "all-time favorite albums" from 1969, so 1969 would win. Except for 1967. Or for 1973. Fuck it, I give up. I do love the '80s, but see it as a decade tailor made for mixtapes. I don't just mean it was a decade for great singles, because I keep finding individual gems buried on albums, but the albums just don't seem to flow with the consistency of a 1967-1973 album. They don't have that certain ... je ne sais quoi.

    29:22. This confirms the age old adage that you like what influenced you early. As someone who turned 15 in 1990, it was right at my time of getting into ‘my own music’. So guys that are 10 years younger than me won’t have the same memories or nostalgia. And Nostalgia always plays a role in music appreciation.
    I give 1990 an easy “A”:
    The Origin (self-titled)--My pick for AotY and a HIDDEN GEM
    Violator (Depeche Mode)
    Blue Sky Mining (Midnight Oil)
    I Do Not Want...: (Sinead O’Connor)

    I'm more with Joe on his rankings. Good to see that he ranks the 90s lower than the 80s even though he said otherwise on the albums of the year series.
    Although I generally agree with the assessment of the 1970s being the peak (I would say 1969-73 is the best 5 year run in history) and though, you say at the beginning of the stream that you would rank each year for music not just albums, singles were completely overlooked. The 60s 70s and especially the 80s were strong for singles.
    By way of illustration here is a list of singles by artists not mentioned for 1978 (which I agree is the weakest year of the 70s but not that weak). I could do the same exercise for any year from 1965-1980s.

    These are pretty good lists. For me, 1969 is the greatest of the 60's. 1971 is the best of the Early 1970's (and my favorite of the 70's in general). 1979 is my favorite of the later 70's due to the preponderance of Post Punk. I prefer the Early 80's to later in the decade and the same goes for the 90's. Cheers.

    as my AOTY series on my channel has demonstrated, most years are very good to great or fantastic. Or in the Tiermaker scale, most are B and above.
    1979, 1998..and I'm kind of with you guys on 1981. And 1965 is thin. All of those years are C or lower.
    Despite the fact I don't look at a year and also look at albums rated at 4+ stars necessarily.
    1988 tho..really great year. 1992 also was a great year. 1991 however, was just ok. I'm not a Grunge fan overall tho.
    1997 was ok..but I hate Radiohead. However, I love Fates Warning and 1997 had A Pleasant Shade of Gray, FW's masterpiece (among other huge favorites in their catalog).
    1992 had III to Every Story and the Shadow Gallery debut record.
    1988 had No Exit and Out of the Silenr Planet and Operation Mindcrime. For Prog Metal, that was a fantastic year.
    The 2000's are all great..every year has several 4-.5 to 5 star albums and that cannot be said about any other decade for me.
    I will agree...2005 is probably a top 5 year..man was it good and DEEP.
    also 1990 was really TOP HEAVY. Toy Matinee came out in 1990. Maybe the greatest pop/rock album of the last 35 years.

    For me 1966 is low A tier. Revolver recorded on 4 track, rain, paperback writer, BACKWARDS GUITAR introduced n discovered, strawberry fields n penny lane written, pet sounds, bob dylan album etc.. the level of the great albums is quite amazing so that alone makes it A tier for me.. the peak of music with "primitive recording technology" compared to todays standards makes these classics stand out n hold a lot of weight.
    I can see the case for smaller quanity of quality albums vs modern years but still i gotta remember how times were a little different back then and music was just starting to explode vs modern times where everyone is doing it...

    67-73 is a great period for music, but generally I’ll never understand the 70’s worship overall. My favorite sounds are in the 60’s (Baroque, Psych, etc) and in the 80’s (New Wave, Synthpop, etc), but the 70’s has always felt like a transitional period between the sounds I connect with. I love all the same stuff as Jason in that period from Big Star and Cheap Trick to Nick Drake and Todd Rundgren, but generally there’s a lot of stuff that doesn’t hit. When I think of the music I want distilled-I’ll think of songs like Hung Up on A Dream by The Zombies or Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order. The 70’s is like a universe where neither of those sounds could exist. Honestly I even prefer the 90’s to the 70’s with the 60’s remaining my favorite.
    So for me it’s 60’s > 90’s > 80’s > 70’s > 00’s > 10’s
    But no decade is truly bad. There’s so much good music in all of them if you dig enough. Despite me ranking the most recent decades lower, there’s some excellent records throughout.
