   It's totally subjective, but I have to agree with this. There have   
   been great albums since '77, but most if not all of them grew  in the   
   soil tilled between 1965 (I'd move the marker back a bit to the year   
   of Rubber Soul and Highway 16 Revisited) the mid-70s. 1977 might be   
   pushing it a bit; certainly I'd make Aja an outlyer, but I'd probably   
   go with 1975, with Philly Soul being the last sweet gasp of creative   
   innocence.   
      
   Interestingly, one could also say the same about film, and probably   
   fine art too. Something about those years produced all kinds of   
   wonderful mindblowing original stuff.   
      
   I had a friend who once predicted that the world would undergo a   
   sudden, mass leap of consciousness at some point in the future.   
   (It obviously hasn't happened yet). Possibly this period represented a   
   variation on that theory; think about the civil rights revolution.
