Best Albums Per Year by
CharlieBarley 
Here's a chart inspired by a cool thread from Round The Bend.
A Herculean task it proved.
Can't quite believe I couldn't fit in Stone Roses, Abba, Black Sabbath, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Who, Simon & Garfunkel, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Bob Marley, Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Jeff Buckley, Prince, Marvin Gaye, or Aphex Twin, to name a few.
But I just totally went with my gut.
It was brutal!

That's good that we got many artists and albums in common. Some albums, like Wish You Were Here, Sgt Pepper and The Joshua Tree were absolute favourites for me. Nothing else would do. But some albums I deliberated over and nearly had something else.
It was a fun exercise.

7 albums in common:
Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
★ (Blackstar) by David Bowie
The Joshua Tree by U2
Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
The Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd
Titanic Rising by Weyes Blood
Abbey Road by The Beatles
12 artists in common:
The Beatles
Radiohead
Bob Dylan
David Bowie
U2
R.E.M.
Pink Floyd
Elvis Presley
Ray Charles
Stevie Wonder
The Smashing Pumpkins
Weyes Blood

I agree.
The 60's and the 70's were the most difficult decades.
Great. I would have trouble when it came to about 1967 to 1977. That would be hard. Too many good ones to choose from.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
