Darn it. I think at least one or two of the singles might've been 91? Please?

I agree 100% with the year, but not with the definition of 'great' albums (ELO and Supertramp in particular both make me want to run out of the room to find a sharp spoon with which to gouge my own ears out).
But to those that remain on the edited list above, I'll add
Buzzcocks: Singles Going Steady
The B-52s: The B-52's
Wire: 154
Neil Young: Rust Never Sleeps
Marianne Faithfull: Broken English
Talking Heads: Fear of Music
Graham Parker: Squeezing Out Sparks
The Police: Reggatta de Blanc
The Cure: Three Imaginary Boys
The Members: At the Chelsea Nightclub
The Human League: Reproduction
The Ruts: The Crack
The Fall: Live at the Witch Trials
The Tourists: The Tourists
The Pop Group: Y
Steel Pulse: Tribute to the Martyrs
Misty in Roots: Live at the Counter Eurovision
Ramones: It's Alive
The Tubes: Remote Control (was a favourite at the time, although it has dated a bit)
There are probably more where that came from...

Ha!
Well I added the likes of Supertramp because he asked for albums that did well in general.
Breakfast in America sold 4 million copies in the US(11 world wide) and won a grammy.
So while ity might have you reaching for the cutlery it did in fact quite well around the world.
No-one's mentioned 1967 yet:
Beatles - Sgt Pepper
Rolling Stones - Between the Buttons and Their Satanic Majesties Request
Jimi Hendrix - Are you Experienced and Axis: Bold as Love
Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground & Nico
Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Soft Machine - Soft Machine
Cream - Disraeli Gears
Frank Zappa - We're only in it for the Money
The Doors - The Doors
Bob Dylan - John Wesley Harding
Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band - Gorilla
Love - Forever Changes
John Coltrane - Live at the Village Vanguard Again
Captain Beefheart - Safe as Milk
Jefferson Airplane - After Bathing at Baxter's
Big Brother and the Holding Company - Big Brother and the Holding Company
I reckon there are some genuine out and out classics there

Blimey, I'd be queuing up behind Truffers for the ear-gouging spoon with most of that lot (although I do have three of the albums). In particular, I'd have an 8th circle of Hell reserved for Yes and all their works.

I was going to say the exact same year, purely due to the Beatles land mark album. Pink Floyd also came up with a genius album and the Rolling stones. That year changed the world forever.

Everyone's going old school. No one going to make a claim for the late 90's or the noughties?

Yes H, sticky fingers JUST for Brown Sugar. That makes the year. Makes the CENTURY.
What's Going On is my second fave album of all time
My third is Tago Mago by Can - also released that year.
It hasn't got the spread of other years but there are some crackers there.
