Gotta be 1965-1975.

British Invasion, Acid Rock, Jazz-Rock, R&B, Folk Rock, Progressive Rock, Soul, etc. The beginning of mass cross over, barriers were broken down between genres.

The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, Zeppelin, Chicago, Pink Floyd, The Byrds, Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, The Supremes, Aretha Franklin, Clapton, Marvin Gaye, Grateful Dead, CCR, Cat Stevens, etc, etc. Way too many too list.

I dont think any other 10 year period comes close.

Before opening the thread I was thinking 65ish - 75ish... Hard to argue with this 10 year span. Might be better to say 64-74.

Top Albums of 1964

whatever specific range from the mid 60s to 70s you cannot much argue with. You can say best but maybe even more as important. That is the amount of completely new styles and innovations that came into being. It was an entire era when you heard things and realized there had never been anything like it before.

I'll go '63, release of The Beatles 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' to 1973 Led Zepplin's recorded concert at Madison Square Garden post Houses of the Holy.

For me, personally it was the '90s... So many great indie bands and the hundreds of shows I went to...

In the sense of history, who knows...

Nah. More a Roxy Music, David Bowie, Brian Eno, punk fan.

70's music is just that perfect period of time in music where it isn't all poppy, tie dye, summer of love bullshite, and not all the MTV, synth driven bad haircut 80's bullshite.

Reminds me of that line JFK told:

"I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered at the White House - with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

Sticking with the modern era of rock, I'd favor:

1958 - 1968

Can't leave out - Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Elvis and the like.
