Favorite albums from the year you were 18

Listmeister · 2013-10-03T09:55:12-04:00

As a follow-up to the "year you were born" thread, it would be interesting to find out your favorite album from the year you were 18, which is when your musical opinions were starting to gel, you started moving from teenage music tastes to grown-up music tastes (whatever those mean for you). I turned 18 in 1987. Now, looking at my 100, I find that I have 5 from 1988 and 3 from 1986, but only one from 1987. That is: Guns 'n' Roses -- Appetite For Destruction ( > imaginary video of 18-year old big-haired Listmeister air-guitaring the opening chords to Sweet Child o' Mine)

I was 18 in late 1990.

My favourite LP from 1990 is the awesome and undersung

Business As Usual by EPMD

,which I discovered much later. In 1990, my favourite album of the then "current" year probably was Bona Drag, a Morrissey singles comp.

My top 5 of 1990:

Business as Usual
The River (Ali Farka Touré)
The Good Son (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds)
Nowhere (Ride)
Goo (Sonic Youth)

Must be Dear Science. Now my No.1 2008 album is Fleet Foxes but I think I found out about them after their second album came out. Some of the albums that came out in 2008 and I listened to them a lot that year are: Watershed by Opeth, The Bedlam in Goliath by Mars Volta, Hayat by Sakin, Sigur Ros' naked album, Day & Age by the Killers, Pure by Pendragon and that last Oasis album. Had a very "confused" taste back then.

Kid A. Which appropriately came out the day before my 18th birthday. I remember it very very well.

Blunderbuss, although I didn't listen to it until I was 19. When I was 18 I don't think I listened to a single album released in that current year.

That would be last year. I was also 18 for part of this year, but I'll go with last year... so:
