Your Favourite Album Every Year Since You Were Born

Mr. Grieves · 11-09-2013, 07:07 PM

I was bored at 5am the other night, and compiled this list:

1996: Tool - Ænima

1997: Björk - Homogenic

1998: Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

1999: Rage Against the Machine - The Battle of Los Angeles

2000: Deftones - White Pony

2001: Opeth - Blackwater Park

2002: Biffy Clyro - Blackened Sky

2003: Boris - Akuma no Uta

2004: Joanna Newsom - The Milk Eyed Mender

2005: Gojira - From Mars to Sirius

2006: Placebo - Meds

2007: Alcest - Souvenirs d'un autre Monde

2008: Meshuggah -Obzen

2009: Mono - Hymn to the Immortal Wind

2010: Periphery - Periphery

2011: The Beach Boys - The Smile Sessions

2012: Baroness - Yellow & Green

2013: Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest

What are yours? I wouldn't say this is entirely accurate. It's only albums I can strictly remember the year of. Some of them I simply couldn't decide just one so just chose one at random. Some of them are albums I've heard recently from that year and loved, some are ones which mainly have nostalgic value. But I thought it was an interesting to do, and it's quite an eclectic mix, I think.

Apologies if such a thread already exists, but I couldn't find it.

I don't know about anyone else but I wasn't listening to music at a couple of months old...

I think he means albums released each year, and not albums you liked each year.

Wait what? The thread title says "favorite album ever year since you were born" so how is it not about the albums you liked?

Anyway, here's mine.

Nirvana - Nevermind (1991)
Alice In Chains - Dirt (1992)
Tool - Undertow (1993)
Green Day - Dookie (1994)
Elliott Smith - Elliott Smith (1995)
Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister (1996)
Elliott Smith - Either/Or (1997)
Elliott Smith - XO (1998)
Dream Theater - Scenes From A Memory (1999)
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory (2000)
System of a Down - Toxicity (2001)
Coldplay - A Rush of Blood To The Head (2002)
OutKast - Speakerboxxx / The Love Below (2003)
Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand (2004)
Sigur Ros - Takk.. (2005)
The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers (2006)
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet (2007)
The Black Keys - Attack & Release (2008)
Mastodon - Crack The Skye (2009)
Eminem - Recovery (2010)
The Decemberists - The King Is Dead (2011)
pg.lost - Key (2012)
Avenged Sevenfold - Hail To The King (2013)

That was rather difficult since there were so many other albums that I liked in the selected years. I just went with the ones that I remember enjoying a lot, though this list could easily change the next time I think about it.

This list made me happy. Great albums

I find it imbossible to do this since my knowledge about modern albums is not big
