 Topic: Favorite Album From The Year You Were Born?
Posted: November 17 2011 at 19:30 |

Simple question really. Either released that year or recorded that year are fair game.
For me it's Charlie Brown's Christmas vs. Rubber Soul. I'm not sure yet.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Looking over RYM's chart, I'd choose Glenn Gould's Goldberg Variations.

Haven't heard every album from 1985 (and I don't want to). But, Prince - Around the World in a Day

It's funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you viddy them on the screen.

I don't generally like '90s music, and '94 was especially weak. I might have to say Anglagard's Epilog, or Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works vol. 2

I'm so mad that you enjoy a certain combination of noises that I don't

Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness - The Smashing Pumpkins. Extremely Prog Related in my opinion, both the band and album.

Ow, unfair - 1957 - such a bad year 
I'll pick Blast The Human Flower by Danielle Dax from the year my daughter was born instead.

What about jazz? Blue Train, Monk's Music, Relaxin'... What a year!  It's actually much harder for me... the only 1988 album I can think of right now is It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. Very good but can't say I'm crazy about it.

I dislike jazz intensely, (whereas C&W, old-thyme rock'n'roll, skiffle and rockabilly I just hate with a passion).

Transport the me of today back to then and I'd be mainly focused on jazz. Miles Davis' ESP also came out that year.

Either Thin Lizzy's Live and Dangerous or Radio Birdman's Radio Appears (on another subject: is everyone on this thread under the age of 20 or what???)
