I went through my record collection and I sort them out year by year , some of the years really jumps out
Some years have absolutely brilliant stuff

OK. let's make this little bit harder

Best year in terms of: Rock , Hard Rock , Prog Rock , Heavy Rock and Heavy Metal:

My choice is 1971 ...some of these bands made their best albums in this year
... and here is a list

Led Zeppelin -- Led Zeppelin IV
Uriah Heep -- Salisbury
The Doors -- L.A. Woman
Black Sabbath -- Master Of Reality
Pink Floyd -- Meddle
Deep Purple -- Fireball
Jethro Tull -- Aqualung
Gentle Giant -- Acquiring The Taste
Focus -- Focus II
Uriah Heep -- Look At Yourself
Emerson,Lake & Palmer -- Pictures At An Exhibition
T-REX -- Electric Warrior
Yes -- The Yes Album

... and few more

OK. If you guys find better year than this , feel free to post

I dont condier those bands in ''real'' rock n roll, its more hard rock, its good choose BTW I like those bands but I would say 50's and 60's Litle Richard Dude, Holy Boddy, Elvis, The Birds, derek and the dominos, Bill Holley and his Comets, Chuck Berry .... those kind a bands ... if you have played Mafia II and whyle drove car listen delta Classic radio, that kind a music, its glory days for rock n roll, best thinks happened, they were young and criate best music, 50 when it was beggining and 60's when it was glory
Im not such expert so I can not give year

You have a great point. You cant get much better than that.

Making a case for 1987:

Gn'R: Appetite for Destruction
Death: Scream Bloody Gore
Bryan Adams: Into The Fire (honestly, it was a great album...)
Alice Cooper: Raise Your Fist & Yell
Metallica: Garage Days Rerevisited
Nuclear Assault: The Plague
Sepultura: Schizophrenia
Motorhead: Rock n Roll
Mayhem: Deathcrush
Def Leppard: Hysteria
Ace Frehley: Frehley's Comet
Agnostic Front: Liberty & Justice For...
Pink Floyd: A Momentary Lapse of Reason
Whitesnake: Whitesnake
Yes: Big Generator
Ramones: Halfway To Sanity

Sure I've missed some good'uns...

None of those bands are even remotely rock 'n roll.

In the first post it says: "Best year in terms of: Rock , Hard Rock , Prog Rock , Heavy Rock and Heavy Metal"

That's what I based my list on

There are so much stuff in Metal and Hard Rock from those golden days that unfortunately are quite unfamiliar to me. When going through the album votes, 2010 looks to be my favorite year overall. I guess there are grains of gold and quantities of shit in every year of music. Looking forward with excitement to discover not only some of the forthcoming goodies, but also some of the great stuff I missed out on from the past as well.

1986 was, imo, the best year for music. Peace Sells, Master of Puppets, Reign In Blood... The list goes on.
