'71, definitely. 90% of my favorite albums growing up have been from 1971, like:

Traffic - The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys
The Beach Boys - Surf's Up
The Guess Who - So Long, Bannatyne
Pink Floyd - Meddle
Roy Harper - Stormcock
Santana III
Yes - Fragile
VDGG - Pawn Hearts

...and those are just a few. '73 was also important for my big prog rock years.

It's hard to choose, but I'd probably say a tie between 1988 and 1990. Ended up voting '88, but I'd still say it's tied.

1988 was one of thrash and metal in general's best years, with these being just some of my favorites from said year:

Anthrax - State of Euphoria
Slayer - South of Heaven
Megadeth - So Far, So Good...So What!
Voivod - Dimension Hatross
Razor - Violent Restitution
Helstar - A Distant Thunder
Deathwish - Demon Preacher
Overkill - Under the Influence
Saint Vitus - Mournful Cries
Soundgarden - UltramegaOK
Judas Priest - Ram It Down
Danzig - Danzig
Pantera - Power Metal
Airdash - Thank God It's Monday
Suicidal Tendencies - How Will I Laugh Today...

Gah, forgot about Mahavishnu, Zeppelin, Can and Egg in my post. Great albums. Magma , ELP and GG are too, albeit to a lesser extent.

Probably 1997 when the pinnacle of music came out in the form of an album known as, oh, I don't know
