Imagine if you could slather your productions with the tone and vibe of a particular 12 month period, past or present, what would it be?

I'm not even talking about how good the music was, most of us seem equally jazzed by sound as by music. I'm talking purely about the sonics that were in vogue.

What are the qualities that you find yourself admiring, or wanting?

Me, it's a tossup between 1975 and 1977, but I'm gonna go with 1977. 77 just had the fatness, the dryness, the density, and the clarity in all the right proportions.

Honorable mention to 1998, that was the last year I still heard a lot of what I would call massive but tasteful compression that wasn't totally killed by brickwalling. By 99, the limiting had pretty much taken over and crushed all the remaining transients to my ears.
