Or from whatever age you starting having favourite albums.
They don’t have to have come out the year that they were your favourite album, just what you liked most at that age.
Didn’t think that hard about it tbh, probably forgotten loads of stuff.
11 - Nirvana Unplugged (gateway drug)
12 - Dookie, Green Day (pre teen pop punk classic)
13 - Definitely Maybe, Oasis (obvs)
14 - Word Gets Around, Stereophonics (re-listened to this last night on a long drive for a laugh. It was awful. Inspiration for the thread)
15 - Bring It On, Gomez (embarassingly wrote an essay in an English GCSE exam about one of the songs on this. A, natch)
16 - Odgen’s Nut Gone Flake, The Small Faces (not sure about this one tbh but I know I listened to a lot of 60s stuff around this time)
17 - Grace, Jeff Buckley (a cool older cousin gave me this when he saw some of the shite I was listening to)
18 - Kid A, Radiohead (liked their previous albums better probably but was well into this at the time, and was a bit of a gateway into lots of other stuff)
11 - Michael Jackson - Dangerous
12 - Oasis - What’s the Story…
13 - Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
14 - Nirvana - Nevermind
15 - Blink 182 - The Mark, Tom & Travis Show
16 - Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness
17 - Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows
18 - Deftones - Deftones
19 - Hope of the States - The Lost Riots
Couldn’t give you specific years, but the overall progression goes something like this:
ABBA - The Singles: The First Ten Years
Eurythmics - Be Yourself Tonight (will still happily fight anyone who wants to diss the 'Rythmics)
U2 - War
U2 - The Joshua Tree
Sisters of Mercy - First & Last & Always
Pixies - Doolittle
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
