Can you be a little more specific, which year and why it is that year

 

1971

  1. Nursery Cryme
  2. The Yes Album
  3. Aqualung
  4. Acquiring the Taste
  5. Pawn Hearts
  6. Pictures at an Exhibition
  7. The Inner Mountain Flame

1972

  1. Storia Di Un Minuto
  2. Thick as a Brick
  3. 666
  4. Trilogy
  5. Close to the Edge
  6. Foxtrot
  7. Octopus

1973

  1. Six Wives of Henry the VIII
  2. Dark Side of the Moon
  3. Tubular Bells
  4. Felona e Sorona
  5. SEBTP
  6. Brain Salad Surgery
  7. In a Glass House

1974

  1. Hamburger Concerto
  2. Journey to the Centre of the Earth
  3. Red
  4. Illusions on a Double Dimple
  5. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
  6. Relayer
  7. Hatfield and the North

Why must we choose a year if we can have them all?????

Though my favourite album was released in 1972 (Close to the Edge), overall I think the best year was 1973:

King Crimson - Larks Tongues in Aspic
Yes - Yessongs, Tales from Topographic Oceans
Genesis - Selling England by the Pound;
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon;
Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds of Fire;
Rick Wakeman - 6 Wives of Henry VIII
Henry Cow - Leg End
ELP - Brain Salad Surgery

..but I also liked 1977 which had:

Pink Floyd - Animals
Yes - Going for the One
ELP - Works I

and outside prog in 1977...

Bowie - Heroes (well, prog-ish,  with Fripp & Eno playing)
Stranglers - Rattus Norvegicus, No More Heroes
Ian Dury - New Boots & Panties

The 20's were great as well
We got to pump the stuff to make us tough
from the heart
Its astart
What we need is awareness we cant get careless
Mental self defensive fitness
Make everybody see in order to fight the powers that be

For classic prog it would probably be 1973 but overall;

I would agree with Stonebeard about this year though, as I discovered this site and through it bands like PT, Opeth, Gentle Giant, Hatfield and the North, Symphony X etc, as well as rediscovering VGG.

I've recently done the nerdiest thing

I've made a curve that illustrates how my music collection is spread over years, starting in 1959 (the year my earliest record is from) and ending in 2005

   

(It seems there is a problem with 1972 and 1982)

favourite year: 1971!

Any year from the early to mid- seventies will do for me.  

I would put the eighties in Room 101.
