I got an email the other day with someone asking to see a league table showing the total rank score for each year so they could see which years were judged better than others. I thought it might be interesting to post here the top 20 years on BEA (and the total score)... I might even add a summary page to the site somewhere too:

1967 - 210881
1969 - 191272
1971 - 188329
1991 - 174629
1997 - 162005
1994 - 158086
1973 - 153930
2007 - 149327
1968 - 141491
1966 - 140824
1970 - 137511
1979 - 136518
1975 - 132328
2004 - 130591
2000 - 128005
1995 - 127005
1972 - 125048
1977 - 123525
2002 - 123243
2001 - 119308

To me, it's no surprise that 1967 is number one, but some of the others might be more surprising. According to these numbers, 2007 was the last great year...

Yay, good showing for 2004. My favorite year of the new millennium.

191272 - of course 1969 is the best, because
In the Court of the Crimson King Released: October 10, 1969 and same day "a movie for your ears" Hot Rats by Frank Zappa.

Hope 2010 pops up somewhere on the list in the future... Seems as if every album I listen to from that year is a great one (ok.. most of them are at least. didn't care too much for Kanye's album or Contra).
Listening to This is Happening right now... Even better than Sound of Silver, just great. And I still have some albums I expect a lot from to go (Age of Adz, High Violet, ...)

Other great years for me are on the list - most notably 1991 and 1997
