Your Favorite Albums

[borntohula]

pretty self explanatory. some people were blogging their responses a few weeks ago and i thought it'd be cool to see what everyone's list would look like here. sure, it's just some useless listmaking, but it seems fun enough. just one stipulation: i know that this can be a difficult task (especially when you get closer to 2008), but please only list one to two albums per year.

 

the best source i know of for album lists would be wikipedia. each year has a pretty detailed (but obviously somewhat incomplete) list of what albums were released.

 

here goes:

1985 the replacements - tim

86 peter gabriel - so

87 sadly, GNR's appetite for destruction is the only album from 1987 that ive heard.

88 sonic youth - daydream nation

89 faith no more - the real thing

90 sonic youth - goo

91 my bloody valentine - loveless

92 kyuss - blues for the red sun

93 a tribe called quest - midnight marauders

94 nine inch nails - the downward spiral, jeff buckley - grace

95 foo fighters - foo fighters

96 beck - odelay

97 godspeed you! black emperor - F♯A♯∞

98 massive attack - mezzanine

99 blur - 13

00 a perfect circle - mer de noms

01 tool - lateralus

02 mcklusky - mcklusky do dallas, queens of the stone age - songs for the deaf

03 matthew good - avalanche, cat power - you are free

04 autolux - future perfect

05 andrew bird - the mysterious production of eggs

06 tv on the radio - return to cookie mountain

07 the national - boxer, the dillinger escape plan - ire works

08 so far, i'd have to say either no age's nouns or portishead's third.

jarrod, it's all good. you might just need to listen to more music.

 

same goes for shade. i really thought you'd have dead meadow for '08. shows what i know.

In all honesty, that dead meadow release has like a few good tracks.

 

Top for 2008 is

 

either Fuck Buttons - Street Horrrsing or Boris - Smile
