Well I'm going for 1977. Not particularly for the quality of music this year was responsible for, but for the quality of music this year was responsible for.
Yes I know it's an obvious choice.

I still don't think I can vote, but I'm tempted to go for 2006, though 2008 has been pretty good. A year from the 90's would be another option. Might go for 1977, though, not so much because I'm familiar with that year, but because of the punk rock explosion.

I just don't know.

Shit, I could have sworn Metallica was 1990. Oh well, I still like 1990.

I don't know about best, but 1969 was a good year. Some immortal jazz albums, some folk, birth of prog and krautrock, plenty of classic rock, Zappa's greatest album IMO and loads of psychedelic gems I haven't mentioned. And any other music of which I'm ignorant.

King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Beatles - Abbey Road
Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
The Kinks - Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)
Amon Duul - Phallus Dei
Pink Floyd - Ummagumma
Soft Machine - Second
Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed
Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
Led Zeppelin - I and II
Fleetwood Mac - English Rose
Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left
Sly - Stand!
Can - Monster Movie
Yes - S/T
Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline
CCR - Willy and the Poor Boys
Allman Brothers Band - Debut S/T
Os Mutantes - Mutantes
Pentangle - Basket of Light
Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica

Depends what I want to listen to.

I mean if i'm in the mood to listen to some banging techno i'm not likely to vote for 1969 or 1977 am I.

Probably the best line up for any of the years, but I can't settle on just one year.

I had a long and hard think about this and cannot possibly settle on just one year. Wayyy too hard.

mmm, thinking about it, I might go for 1969 myself! There are a few more, which I THINK released that year, but need to check my facts. Mainly Scott walker, White Noise and a few more lesser known stuff I like which released around that time. I keep forgetting the release dates
