Following Drinky's lead, this is probably my top 15:
1. Marcos Valle "Garra"
2. Joni Mitchell "Blue"
3. Eugene McDaniels "Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse"
4. Serge Gainsbourg "Histoire de Melody Nelson"
5. Gil Scott-Heron "Pieces of a Man"
6. Rolling STones "Sticky Fingers"
7. David Bowie "Hunky Dory"
8. T. Rex "Electric Warrior"
9. Doris Monteiro "Doris"
10. Leonard Cohen "Songs of Love & Hate"
11. Jorge Ben "Negro e Lindo"
12. Bill Fay "Time of the Last Persecution"
13. The Who "Who's Next"
14. Aretha Franklin "Young, Gifted & Black"
15. Caetano Veloso "Caetano Veloso"
That Fela Kuti is my favorite Fela and I'm not sure if Marvin Gaye would even make the top 20 for me...so yeah, really strong year.
Damn it -- I just noticed I had the year wrong on "Young Gifted & Black" I guess Caetano slides up to 14 and 15 becomes Wanda Robinson "Black Ivory"
