Best year for albums?

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

I think 1989 was the best year for albums. Soooo so many good releases that year. There are more albums I love in that year alone than there has been in the last 10 years combined I reckon. What about you guys?

Skid Row – Skid Row
Danger Danger – Danger Danger
Alice Cooper – Trash

Silent Rage – Don’t Touch Me There
Aerosmith - Pump
W.A.S.P. – The Headless Children
Stage Dolls – Stage Dolls
Bad Habit – After Hours
Nitro – O.F.R.
Cats In Boots – Kicked & Klawed
Leatherwolf – Street Ready
Kingdom Come – In Your Face
LA Guns – Cocked & Loaded
Dangerous Toys – Dangerous Toys

Bonfire – Point Blank

There were tons of other big hard rock albums that year to that lots of other people love such as Wake Me When It's Over by Faster Pussycat and Big Game by White Lion etc that I didn't include coz I don't like them much, plus tons of albums that year that are meant to be great and have been recommended to me but I haven't heard yet that I'm sure would probably be added to the list when I hear them!

If that many great albums came out every year now, I'd be so broke!!! I struggle to come up with 5-10 albums a year that I like nowadays!

1986, 1987 and 1988 had TONS of great albums too!

 

[Spiff]

I'd go with 1987 because three of my all-time favourite albums are from that year. Can The Final Countdown be changed to 1987 too please? And when was Crazy Nights released?

 

[phlogiston]

1877

 

[phlogiston]

That's not the date for Crazy Nights. That's the best year for albums. Everything since then has been derivative crap.

 

[Aussie_Outlaw]

The last 5 years have been quite good compared to the rest of the 90's.

I like 2002 for some reason.

Meh, I can't think of a particular year, but there has been good shit released every year for the last few at least

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Crazy Nights was 1987. What a year!!

Crazy Nights, Hysteria, 1987, Appetite For Destruction, Keel, Back For The Attack, LA Guns, Trick Or Treat, Tell No Tales, Raise Your Fist & Yell...

 

[Goreripper]

That's it then. '87 was the best.

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

1990 also had my favourite Ratt album Detonator, the most solid Poison album Flesh & Blood, plus awesome albums from Heaven's Edge, Hericane Alice, Gypsy Rose, Spread Eagle, Cold Sweat, etc. Trust me you will like these albums!

Spawny how come you put Young Guns II but not Keep The Faith? Keep The Faith is way better.

 

[spawn]

I didnt think Keep The Faith was in the same year? Im pretty sure it wasnt? Oh well, if it was, yep put that in there, but the YG2 Soundtrack is SO under rated, it rocks! If cowboys wore spandex you would love it

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

It's not the same year but its 1992 and your albums were 1990-1992.

 

[JonBonJovi]

Keep The Faith pales in comparison to Young Guns 2

 

[spawn]

It's not the same year but its 1992 and your albums were 1990-1992.

Correct you are, consider it on the list, though you are wrong about KTF being way better than YG2 im afraid Both albums rule!

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Keep The Faith is so much better. SO much better. But then again I have a soft spot for it because it was my first CD.

 

[Spiff]

I listened to Keep the Faith at work today. I've never really paid much attention to it because it came out just as I had lost almost all interest in Bon Jovi, but it's really quite a good album. Dry Country or whatever it's called rocks!
