Just came here to post this. Next best would have been Nirvana's In Utero, though I've never been as big on them as some people.1993, one of the best live albums of all time
1985
"Southern Accents" Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
"Brothers in Arms" Dire Straits
"Freaky Styler" Red Hot Chili Peppers
"Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash" The Pogues
"Scarecrow" John Mellencamp

I have to post this just because of how prod Rick James is of Eddie's serious musical talent and hard work
Same age, same year. While we're old, Pink Floyd's "The Wall" not only is the best album of that year, it would likely make about everybody's top-5 rock albums of all-time! Not too shabby!
I don't know how I could pick between all of the quality from 1967 and have probably failed miserably but here we go...
The Doors - The Doors
Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced?
Aretha Franklin - RESPECT
Jefferson Airplane - Somebody to Love
Engelbert Humperdink - Release Me
The Spencer Davis Group - Gimme Some Lovin
Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl
Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade of Pale

All three are spectacular damn albums man.
"Streets of Bakersfield" - Dwight and Buck Owens
Just pick one from Straight Outta Compton

There aren't a lot of songs from that year that I really "like," but there are some that I don't mind hearing at all (and one that hits close to home around these parts*).
"Suspicious Minds" - Elvis
"Sweet Caroline" - Neil Diamond*
"Hawaii Five-O" - The Ventures
"Galveston" - Glen Campbell
"I Heard It Through the Grapevine" - Marvin Gaye
Btw, this is 1969. I can't possibly be that old...
If you're a 1969-er and don't include "Sugar Sugar," you might have to fight me.
