You're using The Grammys as a reference of any sort for good music?

They just redid Dylan's terrible performance
And I just relistened to Dylan and still think it's awesome
Oh well, a majority of one and all that...

Back to Aja. Best 6th album ever. I rarely last that long with a band. Beatles fans are spoiled in this respect. Some great late stuff.

Rightfully so.Steely Dan's Aja is the only other album I'd listen to of those. Hotel California is very overrated, IMO.

Well I woulda given it to Elvis, but then you probably already knew that
Yes. Different cat is different. I like Elvis, but I do not see the revolutionary, transformative figure that some do. I mean, I liked the Clash, not the Sex Pistols. Out of those, I would have given the nod to Elvis, The Cars OR Toto, over "A Taste of Honey" - but, disco was not yet dead.
It would take a Fieger (RIP) and a Sharona to end disco.

ZZ Top as well.
I like me some Triumph.

The Cars

Three of the most listened to, anyway, so there's that.

Does this make 1978, officially, the best year of the album era?
do you mean the best 5 nominated for Grammy's? That's pretty strong for the Grammy's i imagine, but I'd have to see other years and a more comprehensive list to say best year of the album era overall.
Off the top of my head is 1991:
Nirvana - Nevermind
Pearl Jam - Ten
U2 - Achtung Baby
Metallica - Metallica (Black Album)
G'n'R - Use Your Illiusion I & II
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magic
Soundgarden- BadMotorFinger
Van Halen - For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge
REM - Out of Time

Not in this or any other lifetime.
That belongs in that list about as much as New Kids On The Block.

The only album I really like in this list is Rumours.
I'm sure there are better years. Just that mention of Village Green, White Album, and Banquet in 2 weeks beats this 78 list.

This is what i love about the music board, rather than add something i may have missed, we get brilliant insight like this. I was never a fan of Van "Hagar" but this was i thought, their best album and when i googled 1991 albums, it showed up.

their best album
If their best album is one where EVH is reduced to using a drill as a prop and one where the songs and songwriting are absolutely horrid, that says everything about how shitty Van Hagar was.
