I was just going to ask if you were a nine year old undead. A shame that I saw that last line.

i didnt really start exploring music on my own until like...the 90s, so i'm just going to skip the whole 80s part.
my older cousin loved rap and since i was over at his place a lot and you know, it was the 90s, i listened to a lot of rap early on
'90 - ice cube - amerikkka's most wanted
'91 - de la soul - de la soul is dead
'92 - dr dre - the chronic
'93 - smashing pumpkins - siamese dream (started moving away from rap...i was getting kind of tired of it)
'94 - weezer - blue album
'95 - no doubt - tragic kingdom
'96 - jay-z - reasonable doubt (the return of rap in my life, just cos jay-z is the man)
'97 - (i wish here i could have put silkworm's developer here, but truthfully i didnt even hear them until '98s blueblood) radiohead - okay computer (still thankful someone had introduced me to this. probably expanded my musical tastes to where they are today. )
'98 - (i would put blueblood here but in '98 i was hooked on) neutral milk hotel - in the aerplane over the sea
'99 - flaming lips - the soft bulletin
2000 - at the drive in - relationship of command
2001 - the shins - oh, inverted world (i listen to high falsetto voices and never turn back)
2002 - (this is my biggest year for me. i cannot list just one because i discovered) wilco - yankee hotel foxtrot, silkworm - italian platinum, interpol - turn on the bright lights, flaming lips - yoshimi battles the pink robots, libertines - up the bracket, bss - you forgot it in people, decemberists - castaways and cutouts <--seriously wtf was up with 2002? has there been a better year for music since?
2003 - my mind is still recovering from the mindfuck known as 2002. it craves something different and found it with the blood brothers - burn,
piano island, burn
2004- stars - set yourself on fire (arcade fire's funeral was also a strong contender)
2005- kanye west - late registration (sickest song of the year - diamonds from sierra leone, ft jay-z)
2006- m.ward - post-war
2007- bottomless pit - hammer of the gods
2008- islands - arm's way

I was actually considering leaving that out to just leave it to your imagination.
redphoenix11:
My list wound up being more lame than I originally expected
1987: David Sylvian - Secrets of the Beehive
JAMC's Darklands and New Order's Substance close behind, but I've always enjoyed this more as an album
1988: Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
Just started getting into Sonic Youth, and while it gets a little boring towards the end, there's enough perfect moments to make this my favorite for 1988
1989: The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
Few albums can fill me with a warm, fuzzy feeling like this one does.
1990: Depeche Mode - Violator
Ride's Nowhere was a close second, but I love this album's atmosphere, and the singles are incredible. Who cares if it's synthpop. It's damn good synthpop.
1991: U2 - Achtung Baby
U2 hasn't released a decent album since this one, and this one has an energy and creativity that was lacking from their strident 80s output. It also manages to incorporate a little bit of everything that was going in British alternative at the time.
1992: Catherine Wheel - Ferment
A minor shoegaze classic that's worth it for "Black Metallic" and "I Want to Touch You". Lush's Spooky pretty much ties with it.
1993: Suede - Suede
Melodramatic and catchy. Plus "The Drowners" was awesome.
1994: The Future Sound of London - Lifeforms
I was debating between this and Superunknown, but this one I enjoy much more as an album.
1995: Pulp - Different Class
The best thing to come out of Britpop. Jarvis Cocker is my hero.
1996: Manic Street Preachers - Everything Must Go
Sure, everyone loves The Holy Bible, and I do too, but the more anthemic tunes on this one take it over the top for me
1997: Radiohead - OK Computer
No explanation required
1998: Massive Attack - Mezzanine
Again, I shouldn't have to justify this one
1999: Hybrid - Wide Angle
I don't care how awesome The Soft Bulletin was. "Finished Symphony" beats anything else that came out in 1999
2000: The Avalanches - Since I Left You
Somewhat of a lean year for me, but that doesn't diminish that this is a great album to relax to. It's like summer in album form.
2001: Tool - Lateralus
Not much into prog rock and prog metal anymore, but the sentimental value wins out.
2002: Ozma - Doubble Donkey Disc
Wins by virtue of having nothing else particularly noteworthy for this year in my collection yet.
2003: Killing Joke - Killing Joke [2003]
Killing Joke's return from their longest hiatus resulted in one of the most intense albums of their career.
They had been around for close to 25 years when this came out, and they rocked the fuck out.
2004: Arcade Fire - Funeral
Obvious I know, but I love it
2005: LCD Soundsystem - LCD Soundsystem
"Losing My Edge" is still one of my favorite songs
2006: Asobi Seksu - Citrus
Asobi Seksu had a competent first album, and they really stepped up their game here. Proof shoegaze may live again.
2007: Justice - † or Blonde Redhead - 23
Loud electronic dance, or Blonde Redhead going the Asobi Seksu route. Such a tough decision
2008: Portishead - Third, but I still haven't listened to everything that's come out this year that I want to listen to.
