Laz, you mean that Dylan feller I just can't stand ?? Zimmerman......... I just can't see how he was so revolutionary in the whole frame of things. Even if I were born 'back in the day' I'd think he was a douchebag...............

The one and same. To be fair, there was not a great deal of choice for best album in 1964

^ Perhaps. And I know you love certain Neo-Prog bands. Nothing wrong with that AT ALL.
I hope you admire Christina and Rob (and I think you do.......)
But Dylan, I CANNOT STAND. Even covers of his songs are superior - especially The Nice things.
Obviously he could write a song which lends itself to greater things, but his mindset was that of a dumbass stoner...... Apologies, I used to be one of those...........

Tito Puente Dance Mania?

Frank Sinatra Come Fly with Me?

I don't know! I give up! What's the right answer???
 
we clearly were born the same year, but I'm going with Mary O'Hara's Songs of Ireland.

Totally agree with Tom about Bob Dylan.

Me too, NIN never did it for me though.

Since I mentioned The Division Bell on another thread, I'll go with Collage's Moonshine this time... and PT's Staircase Infinities if EP's are valid.

1985.  Plenty to choose but will go with Prefab Sprout's Steve McQueen.

And Gary Numan and the Tubeway Army's Replicas and Talking Head's Fear of Music. I'd personally include David Bowie's Lodger amongst great mainstream picks.

For me as a RIO/Avant Prog lover, 1979 is an incredible year.
Just a fanboy passin' through.

Nas - Illmatic
Soundgarden - Superunknown
Hole - Live Through This
Dream Theater - Awake
Cake - Motorcade of Generosity
Stratovarius - Dreamspace

The list goes on... 1994 was a great year for music, it seems
Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life

Im going to cheat slightly, Coltrane - A Love Supreme was recorded in 1964 and released in Feb 65, otherwise I'll take Mingus - Mingus x5
