An Album a Year

Oh well, may as well jump on the Bandwagon. The idea is to pick one album from each year that you've been alive. It was easier than I thought, though 1987 proved to be a good year for stuff I liked. 1998 was tough and I may have cheated a bit, but I like that disc.

And here we... go.

1975 - Alice Cooper - Welcome to My Nightmare
1976 - Bob Dylan - Desire
1977 - Iggy Pop - Lust for Life
1978 - Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy
1979 - The Clash - London Calling
1980 - Joy Division - Closer
1981 - Oingo Boingo - Only a Lad
1982 - The Cure - Pornography
1983 - "Weird Al" Yankovic - "Weird Al" Yankovic
1984 - Prince and the Revolution - Purple Rain
1985 - The Pogues - Rum, Sodomy & The Lash
1986 - The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
1987 - The Pogues - If I Should Fall From Grace With God
1988 - Leonard Cohen - I'm Your Man
1989 - Pixies - Doolittle
1990 - They Might be Giants - Flood
1991 - U2 - Achtung Baby
1992 - The Cure - Wish
1993 - James - Laid
1994 - Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
1995 - David Bowie - Outside
1996 - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Murder Ballads
1997 - Radiohead - OK Computer

Whoa, boy. That's quite a tag. I've been too busy at work to commit myself to trying my hand, but maybe sometime soon I'll get around to it. Good job on yours, maybe I'll steal about half of it.
How was Dark Knight? You should be posting on that soon, please!
