Post subject: Best Year For Music- THE RESULTS/ WINNER!!
We did it! Starting back in late 2017 this series of threads began and each one offered great discussion. It was something I had considered making a bit of a project for a while up to that point so thank you guys for maintaining interest and voting throughout the whole thing! It was a lot of fun for me and I hope you felt the same and most importantly I hope there were some recommendations taken, that was certainly true in my case.
After a couple thorough checkings and re-checkings, we have a year that has the most standalone points as well as some other very interesting data:
>32 individual users replied with lists.
>1997 was the only year to be featured in every list. There were two users that chose to compose shorter lists, 1997 being featured on both of them.
>Each year got at least 2 first place votes. First place voting resulted in the following:
-1967 with 9, 1969 with 6, 1997 with 5, 1971 and 1977 each with 4, and 1991 and 1994 each with 2.
>The top 3 years are only separated by 3 points. It was pretty fun to tally up the points honestly.
So without further jargon Here are the results:
TIED FOR LAST- 6th/7th PLACE- 1991 & 1997- 93 POINTS
5th PLACE- 1994- 97 POINTS
4th PLACE- 1977- 120 POINTS
3rd PLACE- 1971- 146 POINTS
2nd PLACE- 1967- 147 POINTS
1st PLACE- 1969- 149 POINTS
Thanks once more for making this fun for me to do. Can't wait for the next one! _________________ Attention all planets of the solar federation: We have assumed control.
Can't say entirely as I would think most votes were cast based off of the music put out in each respective year, however I found it totally appropriate to judge a year based off of events and happenings as well. Maybe Woodstock gave 1969 the edge for a couple users, but not sure. _________________ Attention all planets of the solar federation: We have assumed control.
Eh, I think a lot of the stuff on my 69 list didn't play at Woodstock. It's really the mixture of formative psychedelic and hard rock albums and the amazing breadth of folk singer/songwriters.
So basically 60s are the best, then 70s, 90s, 80s, 00s, 10s. Oh this might be material for a new discussion _________________ Finally updated the overall chart
And much to my surprise, I would agree with that. That's exactly the order in which I would rate the decades myself.
Me too. But I think if it was on weight/amount of great albums then the 70s would come out on top. 60s probably the best truly seminal releases though.
