NOTES:

The single asterisks (*) around 1995 indicate that my favourite album of the year, The Bends by Radiohead, was released before I was born. The Bends was released on March 13th while I was born on May 29th. Jagged Little Pill, my second choice, was released on June 13th, making me a healthy 15 days old when it was released.

The double asterisks (**) around 1997 indicate my favourite album released in my lifetime (also coincidentally my all-time favourite), OK Computer by Radiohead.
