What one year, or couple of years, defines your music tastes? What years did you consider music to be perfect?
For me, I have to say 1991 - 1994
Many of my favorie albums of all time came out in this period:
Smashing Pumpkins - Gish, Siamese Dream
Nirvana - Nevermind, Incesticide, In Utero
NIN - Broken, The Downward Spiral
Metallica - Black Album
GNR - Use Your Illusion I & II
Radiohead - Pablo Honey
Pearl Jam - Ten, Vs
Lords Of Acid - Lust, Voodoo-U
Shudder To Think - Pony Express Record
Green Day - Kerplunk, Dookie
Alice In Chains - Dirt
Marilyn Manson - Portrait of an American Family
The Breeders - Last Splash
Veruca Salt - American Thighs
Hole - Pretty on the Inside, Live Through This
L7 - Bricks Are Heavy
Seven Year Bitch - Sick 'Em
Babes In Toyuland - Fontanelle, Painkillers, Nemesisters
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
R.E.M. - Automatic for the People
How about everyone else?

Mine's always been all over the place and I tend to be introduced to stuff when it's old.

I don't really have time to go into it as much as I'd like but I would say 88-92.
Also, "The Breeders" are fantastic, Knyte.

There's no such a thing like 'perfect era' for me. All times we have something amazing.

1987.
Because that's when wikipedia says Freestyle music was at its peak. And no one did more to advance socially conscious, virtuosic dance music into the '90s than Lisa Lisa and The Cult Jam.
...I might not be serious.

I completely agree with the music from 1991-94, and I would also add Soundgarden (Badmotorfinger and Superunknown) to that list.
1966 - 1970 was a pretty good stretch as well:
The Beatles - Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, White Album, Abbey Road
Rolling Stones - Their Satanic Majesties Request, Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed
The Who - Tommy, Who's Next
Cream - Fresh Cream, Disraeli Gears, Wheels of Fire
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin I, II, and III
The Doors - The Doors, Strange Days, Waiting For the Sun, LA Woman
Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold as Love, Electric Ladyland
Beach Boys - Summer Days and Summer Nights, Pet Sounds
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde
Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow, After Bathing at Baxter's
CCR - Green River, Willy and the Poor Boys, Cosmo's Factory
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath, Paranoid
Pink Floyd - A Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Meddle
Iron Butterfly - In A Gadda Da Vidda

90's baby, it's the time I grew up in. I'd say that 66-70 was pretty awesome as well.

For me, it'd be late '70s to early '80s with bands like The Clash, Stiff Little Fingers, The Misfits, The Adicts, The Descendents, Dead Kennedys, and The Ramones will always be at the top of my favorites.

I agree. Looking back, this was an awesome period not only for "alternative" but also for hip-hop and "gansta rap". Now, I can understand that some people out there do not appreciate Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" as well as Ice Cube's stuff and the projects that splintered off as NWA disbanded. You can't forget the Wu-Tang Clan either. Different kind of music, but still there was a lot of great stuff that came out in a short amount of time.
A close second for me is 1970-1974. Pink Floyd, King Crimson, The Band of Gypsies(fuck The Experience) for example, were all at their peak in terms of creativity and still writing awesome sounding songs.. The technology that existed at that point was sooo much better than the crap from the '60s and wasn't bastardized when everything went digital.

It could be argued that this period was the last great period for rap/hip-hop. By the time all the Tupac/Biggie stuff happened and Wu-Tang Forever dropped, it feels like the entire genre kind of lost track of what made itself fun and great. Jumped the shark, so to speak. But 91-95ish, there was tons of awesome stuff from both coasts.
