I voted for '69 and here's why :

14 masterpieces or near masterpieces

Five Leaves Left (N.Drake), The Velvet Underground, Happy Sad (T.Buckley), Scott 3 (S.Walker), Moondog, Oar (A.Spence), In A Silent Way, It's So Hard To Tell Who's Going To Love You Best (K.Dalton), The Stooges, Karma (P.Sanders), Trout Mask Replica, Songs from a Room, Ask Me No Questions (B. St John), Green River (CCR)

versus 4 masterpieces or near-masterpieces.

Crazy Rhythms, Colossal Youth, Seventeen Seconds, Half-Mute (Tuxedomoon).

I'm a confirmed postpunk enthusiast, but 69 was unbeatable.

I voted for 1980 here easily; ashamedly had to vote for that specific 1971 team last match though.

1969 was the year of bad albums from great bands, 1980 was the year of great debuts and LA punk

EDIT: not to mention Closer and Remain in Light

Who's the winner of the losers?

Pick which year based on all the music you've heard from each.
