To me, 1969 was the single greatest year for rock music. The following list is by no means exhaustive of the quality and creativity that exploded that year, but it gives an idea of the range and depth:
Moody Blues:On the Threshold of a Dream; To Our Children's Children's Children
The Beatles:Abbey Road
Led Zepplin:1st & 2nd albums
The Band:1st album
Neil Young & Crazy Horse:Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
Miles Davis:In A Silent Way
Crosby Stills & Nash:1st album
Creedence Clearwater:Green River; Willy & the Poor Boys; Bayou Country
Blind Faith:only album
Bob Dylan:Nashville Skyline
Santans:1st album
Chicago:Chicago Transit Authority
Allman Brothers Band:1st album
Jefferson Airplane:Volunteers
Laura Nyro:New York Tenderberry
Quicksilver Messenger Service:Happy trails
It's A Beautiful Day:1st album
Buffalo Springfield:Retrospective
John Mayall:Turning Point
Steve Miller:Your Saving Grace; Brave New World
Spirit:Clear

This is one of the reasons 2015 didn't suck for me... August that year, I went up to San Francisco the weekend before I left for my next job back east. Hostels were too expensive, so I parked my car at a place called Mussel Rock, near Pacifica where the paragliders take off (pic related). I had come in darkness and slept for about 4 hours in my back seat, so I was stunned at how yellow the Vista was come morning, full of flowers in bloom. I listened to that song, feeling a hint of what the hippies must have been after all those years ago. I then proceeded to call much of my family which I had not contacted for ages and talked pleasantly with them, then went up to Golden Gate Park and the art museums there. One of the best weekends of my life, so full of anticipation for the future, and so free from the humdrum in which I live now.
