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

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.
