The first year in which I have heard close to 10 albums from is 1965, so I will start there, but here's my Top 5 from the previous two years:

1963

5. The Beatles - Please Please Me
4. The Beatles - With The Beatles
3. Thelonious Monk - Criss-Cross
2. The Charles Mingus Quintet + Max Roach - The Charles Mingus Quintet + Max Roach
1. Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady

1964

5. The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night
4. The Beatles - Beatles for Sale
3. The Rolling Stones - The Rolling Stones
2. Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A-Changin'
1. Jacques Brel - Enregistrement public

1965



8. The Beatles - Help!
7. The Zombies - The Zombies
6. The Beatles - Rubber Soul
5. Grant Green - Idle Moments
4. Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
3. Albert Ayler Quartet - Vibrations
2. Albert Ayler Trio - Spiritual Unity
1. John Coltrane - A Love Supreme

I don't particularly care for the latter Beatles album on this list, but since I was scraping around for list fillers, it made the cut. However, I either really like, or love the rest of these albums. The Jazz albums are up there with some of my favourite of all time, with #1 and #2 being nailed on classics in my opinion. Highway 61 is comfortably my favourite Dylan record, and the only one I would listen to out of choice, as opposed to a binge.

Overall, this is just an okay year for me. I am certain there's plenty of albums I have not had the pleasure of listening to as of right now, but this is the best I have so far.
