I tend to go by recording dates so my selections wont always align with BEA. Personally I think its kind of silly to go by distribution date. When the artist(s) completed & recorded the work seems much more important than when the label distributed it. Just like when a Classical composer composed the work is whats most important.

Scaruffi likes to use the year of recording, not release.

After nitpicking how to decide what year an album should be assigned to, I stuck with the BEA default ranking of year of release. I very much agree with Yann that the release date is like the "birth to the world", thanks for putting it that way.
Cool idea, I used to make mixtapes/burn CDs with songs from each year for people's birthdays back in the day. I'd try to theme them too, like songs about alcohol for a 21st birthday (legal drinking age in the US) or songs about driving/road trips for 16 (driving age in the state I grew up in). _________________ 51 Washington, D.C. albums!
