The Contrarians sounds amazing! I'd have to pick 1975 as my one year - you get Born to Run, Captain Fantastic & the Brown Dirt Cowboy, Welcome to My Nightmare, A Night at the Opera, and Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. I think I could probably handle it if those were all I could listen to for the rest of my life.
Those are strong choices, and you make a compelling case! My 1975 list would definitely include Zappa's One Size Fits All. 1975 would also let me include two Rush albums. Other contenders that come immediately to mind are Wish You Were Here, Physical Graffiti, and Sabotage.
Rick Beato also did a nice tribute to Gordo yesterday and played parts of 5-6 of his best known songs while paying tribute to his genius. Gotta check out the new Tull record!

The Beato Lightfoot tribute video is in my viewing queue!
Love the new Tull. Barks right up my proverbial (World) Tree.
I'm glad you're digging it, too!
