The '71 team gets my vote... _________________ "And can’t you see you’re in on it?

Didn't really like Deceit at all and I think that Television Personalities album is just OK, but My Life in the Bush of Ghosts blew me away. I'm also a fan of the singles on the '81 team, especially REM and Flipper. '71 has Songs of Love and Hate but I've never been able to like Maggot Brain and can't stand King Crimson or Can. '81 for me _________________ And it's hard to be a human being. And it's harder as anything else.
Except for Television Personalities and Radio Free Europe, I couldn't get into any of the 1981 picks. Too much punk, not enough of the other stuff that made 1981 a great year. Two words: Styx Paradise.
On the other hand, most of the 1971 picks were awesome. Could have done without the Mahavishnu Orchestra but as a group
Wait a minute. Styx Paradise is kind of an oxymoron. I mean Styx is a River in Greek Hell, and Paradise is Greek Heaven. I just realized that.
'71 is a lot better in my opinion. The Leonard Cohen album is fantastic, and the single choices are all great, too. The 1981 picks are mostly so-so representatives of punk and its derivatives of the time. None of the albums for that year really stands out to me aside from Brian Eno and David Byrne.
