Oh man dude, thats almost mean.
Anyway, this is the best thread idea I've seen in the music forum in a while! I'll conjure something up when I get a chance. Also, lists threads are lame when you really just are listing. Do what Dovey did and write something about each album you choose! Its more fun to write and it makes the rest of the forum possibly care about your post.

I was born in 1992 (there are people alive and talking who were born in the nineties?! Who didn't exist during Spiderland?!?!) but I always feel like I was born four years too late, for uh, some reason. I always miss out on the good bands when they're around! How lame.
1992 - Sloan - Smeared
It's, um, it's young Sloan! They want to be Sonic Youth! It's adorable. I wish I could use Spiderland.
1993 - Fugazi - In on the Kill Taker
What the heck I can't find anything for this one, unless I want to use PABLO HONEY... oh I like fugazi though... i'll just steal that one
1994 - Built to Spill - There's Nothing Wrong With Love
Oh no! Do I use Pavement, Elliott Smith, or Built to Spill? Or SILKWORM? I like Doug Martsch. I couldn't put Keep It Like a Secret though.
1995 - Low - Long Division
all low is good
1996 - Silkworm - Firewater
What an awesome year! Except at the time I was four and cared only about Power Rangers and Mario Kart.
1997 - Elliott Smith - Either/Or
Of all the phases I go through where I say any Elliott Smith album is my favorite, I probably say this one the most often.
1998 - Beck - Mutations
it's pretty
1999 - Beulah - When Your Heartstrings Break
69 Love Songs came out this year too. But my goodness do I love Beulah.
2000 - Radiohead - Kid A
At eight years old this was the album that sparked the Radiohead obsession that has now lasted me half my life, and it is a pretty perfect album. The Sophtware Slump came out this year also.
2001 - Daft Punk - Discovery
Do you know how awesome the video for "One More Time" is when you're nine years old and bored and trying to find something to watch on a portable TV on your umpteenth trip to Las Vegas? That is my first memorable Daft Punk experience. The actual first one was probably just watching the video for "Around the World" and being weirded out.
2002 - Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Also a perfect album. Fuck this was a hard year.
2003 - Belle and Sebastian - Dear Catastrophe Waitress
B&S's best. Maybe. And oh goodness it is getting so hard to choose now aaaaaaaa
Other contenders: Other Beulah, Postal Service, Shins, Weakerthans, Wrens, Unicorns. Fuck!
2004 - The Arcade Fire - Funeral
Too many friggin' choices for this year. Settled on AF though, because this was an album I actually listened to at that time! And with the help of the Inter Net, it also was one of first things that led me to finding new music on my own and NOW LOOK WHERE I AM i have a compulsive downloading problem and such
2005 - Wolf Parade - Apologies to the Queen Mary
Oh boy, 2005, I can actually remember this one well. Final choice is Wolf Parade though! So hard, though. I am disappointing all my favorites. Like Sleater-Kinney. Wait. What?
2005 - Sleater-Kinney - The Woods
OKAY THERE
First S-K album I bought and now they are the loves of my life
2006 - Peter Bjorn and John - Writer's Block
Rekindled my special love for Swedish bands. I have played the shit out of this album.
2007 - The 1900s - Cold and Kind
Um dang I wanted to pick like Deerhoof or something but this album came out in October and I've probably listened to it like eighty times since then? That is an inordinate amount for me.
2008 - Okkervil River - The Stand Ins
The Stand Ins The Stand Ins The Stand Ins The Stand Ins The Stand Ins The Stand Ins
Kyros:
Oh christ, this is gonna be fun.

Nodaisho:
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?
