Five masterpieces. And some other good albums, like Metallica, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Laughing Stock, Ten.
The above is a definite argument for '91. I have a soft spot for Teenage Fanclub and My Bloody Valentine!

I chose 1990 for good reason:

Depeche Mode - Violator
Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas
Jane's Addiction - Ritual de lo Habitual
Pixies - Bossanova
Sinead O'Connor - I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got
Sonic Youth - Goo
Peter Murphy - Deep
Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting
Happy Mondays - Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches
Ride - Nowhere
Pet Shop Boys - Behaviour
They Might Be Giants - Flood
The Breeders - Pod
Alice in Chains - Facelift
The Fall - Extricate

...and of course: LL Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out

Pretty awesome year in music, huh?

No I know I will immediatedly rue my decision once picked. Suffice to say I will leave the poll well alone and desist from choosing.

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.

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

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

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

Do not forget the wealth of famous events including Woodstock.
