Also, DOA's Hardcore 81. Good god, but this was a fucking AMAZING year, 1981.

All in all, the 80s were the best decade for rock ever. Pretty much any year from the 80s is better than any 90s year.

I'd put any 70s year against any 80s year though.

'61 wasn't much of a year for rock music.

66 is the first year on RYM that a rock album has the #1 spot.

A proper appreciation of Chuck Berry is fundamental to any criticism of rock music.

ILM will never cure me of my conviction that the 70s were the best decade

Actually, there are years in the 80s that could beat 76-78.

Really the whole conceit of excluding non-rock music is irritating me though - a lot of the best albums of the mid to late 80s were hip-hop. It was hip-hop's time.

The pink elephant in the closet, of course, is the 00s: There's a lot of great music from the 00s, but none of it is rock music. At least there were a few profoundly amazing Unsane and Royal Trux albums in the 90s. 00 killed the rock.

(I'd probably weasel outta any objections to this thesis by claiming that anything thought to be good 00s rock is really good pop. Which I'm allowed to say now, you filthy poptimists, 'cause the Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party, and Franz Ferdinand have been officially declared POP. Not that I'm saying these folks are exemplars of the form, but it's the principle of the matter. Anyways.)
