I always reckon a majority would plump for the year they left school - leaving partys, friendships lost etc. I'm most likely wrong, but it works for me, so I'd go for 79/80 as my favourite year musically.
I was 13 in 1995 so not massively. Year you were born Duffers 82, was a good one.
82.
Did The Seals do something that year??

Wasn’t born in 82 - very late 81.

In fairness, I based it on a straw poll of one person, so I realised the accuracy might be questionable.

Too many to choose from for me. That post about 1971 is probably a benchmark though, there was even a book about it, (Mark Ellen, ex Whistle Test presenter and journo).
Personally I loved the mid 70's when there was an avalanche of stuff. In 1977 just have a look at these...., The Clash, The Jam, Costello, Graham Parker, The Stranglers, The Ramones, Bowie, Neil Young, Boz Scaggs, Iggy, Talking Heads, Television, Doobie Bros, and of course, the Sex Pistols. And for the more MOR types it was the year of Rumours and Out of the Blue.
Bloody Hell, I'm still listening to much of these now.

I think you've won the thread right there. One of those venn diagrammy things where everything came together at once.

1981 for me. So many brilliant acts and songs from that year, Joe Dolce apart.
