I am just starting to learn some asp.net stuff, but it looks like your 
first problem is formatting
when you are trying to debug problems like this...

Try to rewrite the whole mess without coming in and out of asp code so much
This is not tested, and is probably wrong, so rewrite to do what you want.

<><%
    for x = 1974 to year(date)
        if x = request.querystring("year") Then
                response.write "<option selected='selected' value=" & x 
& ">"
                response.write x & "</option>"
        else
                response.write "<option value='" & x & "'>" & x & 
"</option>"

        end if
    next
%>
