Years beginning with 9 and 7 would then be before the crusades?TongueClown

I think most would agree that years beginning with 1 , 9, and 7 were the best . Wink

1972 figures stron in the PA top ablums chart

Would agree that with the exception of '72, the odd years tend to figure more in my collection ( oh I forgot about last year Confused)

Funny you should mention that, I've actually thought the exact same thing. I had been looking through my albums from the 70s and 71, 73, 75, 77 and 79 all seem a little more fruitful than the years going up to em. Coincidence yes, but it's still pretty uncanny.
Latter years I'm not that sure, but 11 beats 12 imo.

Looking through my collection, I noticed that most of the best prog and jazz/fusion albums came out in odd-numbered years. That's not to say that great albums didn't come out in even-numbered years, but there is a substantial difference. This is especially apparent in modern prog, years like 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2011 seem to have a lot of great albums released by various bands and artists, much more than the even numbered years. 2013 seems to be heading that way too.
Anyone else notice this and can comment?
