Favorite Album From Each Year

[The Dissident]

You haven't listened to 'Accident of Birth' yet? You must be trolling.

100% serious

 

[KidInTheDark666]

I warmly recommend Megadeth's Youthanasia from 1994. The Helloween album is good too.

 

[Black Wizard]

100% serious

You've spent the last year describing all sorts of albums but haven't bothered listening to 'Accident of Birth' yet. Unbelievable.

*Albums which I own*

Maybe I should continue into next year...

Do it.

 

[Jer]

Do it.

...says the guy who still needs to get through 238 albums in the next 3 days to stay on track.

Less because I’ve been listening to albums while not recording them on MaidenFans.

edit: I’m tired of it all.

 

[Kalata]

Haven't heard any of those before... Will have to add them to my list

Wow! I strongly recommend you to listen to these albums then. Especially the Accept/Bruce ones.

 

[The Dissident]

Do it.

Likely won't do it formally, but I do have some albums that I wanted to relisten to and haven't had a chance so those will get another spin and I have basically all of Dream Theater's studio albums coming in tomorrow so I will need to listen to them all at some point

Fantastic!

Went through these all last night, some years are a little sparse in terms of music I've listened to, those which I don't feel represent an album I enjoy have an N/A in the place until I find an album I like, I excluded EPs and Live Albums. Some things stuck out pretty quick like that every Alter Bridge record is featured here, and Iron Maiden also has a naturally strong showing. They nearly had 7 but I had to pick Blackout over The Number Of The Beast.

Did another bit of an update, took my top 3 albums percent wise, aboce 85% and then chose the one which I go back to the most for my album of each year. This resulted in some additions of Yes in the 70s due to some of their albums being super consistent, while some of these albums may not be my go to they are higher quality as a whole than some of the others. 1985, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 2008 are the years which I would consider weaker but figured best to put something down for each year. Some bands I've warmed up to more over the past few months. I couldn't decide between a couple years so I did ties.
