Feel free to discuss or add your short list.

Jeesh, no one has really added anything. Cool if I compare notes on a few years? I was born in '68 but I'm not sure I can scratch together 5 albums from anything from the 60's.

 

[BeatleMatt]

Feel free. I was rather hoping that other members younger than me would drop in as their birth year came around but sure; anyone who wants to add anything is welcome. Please just follow my unrealistic guidelines and keep it simple.
I’ll post my 1986 tomorrow and you can post your 1968 today.

1981
Moving Pictures-Rush
Freeze Frame-J. Geils Band
4-Foreigner
Mob Rules-Black Sabbath
Don’t Say No-Billy Squier

I consider 1981 as my most indispensable year of music. If I could literally cram 15 albums in my Top 5, I would.
But, here's my Top 5...

Michael Schenker Group-MSG
UFO-The Wild The Willing And The Innocent
Def Leppard-High n Dry
Thin Lizzy-Renegade
Lucifer's Friend-Mean Machine
