One Album For Every Year You Are Alive

<< < (6/24) > >>

Zingoleb:
I..I can't do it. I don't know albums that were realized post-Zing. ARGH! ...I'll try...

1990 - Pantera - Cowboys from Hell
1991 - Pearl Jam - Ten
1992 - R.E.M. - Automatic for the People
1993 - Melanie - Freedom Knows My Name/Silence is King (Freedom was the American version, Silence the European; mostly the same album.)
1994 - Pink Floyd - The Division Bell
1995 - Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (Tempted to put The Highwaymen's "The Road Goes on Forever," but there's only one song on there that I like, but that song blows my mind whenever I hear it.)
1996 - The Doors - The Greatest Hits (Yeah, Greatest Hits compilations really shouldn't count, but I don't have too much music from '96, so...)
1997 - Smash Mouth - Fush Yu Mang (When they weren't pop.)
1998 - Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
1999 - Nothing...
2000 - Narada World - Celtic Dance
2001 - Bob Dylan - Love and Theft (Favourite album of his by far.)
2002 - Melanie - Crazy Love (Shouldn't double post artists, but I don't have much. And I can't say 'Songs for the Deaf' by QotSA because I only know one song from it.)
2003 - Warren Zevon - The Wind (Ironically, I don't really care much for it, but the emotion is stirs, the thought of what was happening to him at the time...R.I.P. Warren.)
2004 - U2 - How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (Eh. I like it okay, but like I said, I don't know that much modern music)
2005 - James Floyd - Some Gentle Moving Thing (An album of poetry...some of the most beautiful stuff I've heard. I like Anoushka Shankar's "Rise" but I haven't heard it all the way through yet.)
2006 - The Beatles - Love
2007 - Carole Edwards - Songs (Not actually an album, but a collection of songs recorded by a friend in 2007. If I had to choose a 'real' album, it would be Half-Corked by Penny Whiskey.)
2008 - Nothing...

Well, that would've made my list somewhat easier, although to be fair Aenima still had Kveldssanger by Ulver to contend with in 96. I stand by my choices.


--- Quote ---This one is going to take me a while, but I would like some clarification. I assume, though it isn't stated explicitly, that it had to be released that year. At first I was just thinking that it was supposed to be significant to how your life was at that point, if you could find one that fits, but now it looks like it is just pick the best album of that year?

Protip: As much as I would like to say so, I was not listening to Big Black when I was one year old.

imagist42:
I like how just about everyone ever put Slanted and Enchanted for 1992.

Also, as far as the intent of the thread is, I think it was meant to be "albums that accurately reflect/describe that year of your life," but seeing as I barely remember anything pre-high school anymore I ran with the idea of "albums that are important to you released in any given year." Granted, my picks for 1993-95 actually do reflect that period of my life pretty accurately, because I shared a room with my older brothers and those albums/bands constituted half of what they listened to.

Nodaisho:
I figured that the very young years would be just awesome albums, since you aren't likely to have much of a musical opinion at that age. Though I can say I was listening to some pretty damn good music at that age, thanks to my dad, I just didn't care much. I was a bit too busy blowing snot bubbles to pay attention.

David_Dovey:
Well I guess one of the good things about this topic is it's a little bit vague on the motivations, so theoretically, I could actually do one album for each year based on what I was listening to at the time. The list I posted above, almost half of the albums on it I heard for the first time less than a year ago, and almost every other one are post high-school (5 years ago) at the oldest.

Basically, do it however you want, but most importantly, talk about it!
