An album a year for each year you are alive

It can't be done.
I'd first need to know what you mean by "match." If you mean albums that have a similar sound, the second list will automatically be inferior because they are unoriginal. If you're talking about impact or legendary status, albums from '04-'09 haven't had time to reach that status or have any measurable effect on upcoming banRAB. And if you're talking about the quality or the album, well, I could come up with a list but it would be entirely subjective. But I'd put a few albums like Oh, You're so Silent Jens, In Rainbows, Neon Bible, and For Emma, Forever Ago against your list. I also feel like hip-hop is at a peak creatively. Again, all of that is subjective, though, so I really can't answer you.
 
Meh. Not really. I was 14 in 1991 and a huge RHCP fan, but when Blood Sugar Sex Magik came out I thought it sucked so much that it kind of killed my enthusiasm for the band. Nevermind was an album I enjoyed at the time but it was far from a favorite from that year for me and it got pretty old pretty fast.

Right but saying that the album is "complete" doesn't make it good, you know?

IE, I love many of the songs from Songs for the Deaf, but when you listen to the album as a whole and understand the theme/underlying message, it makes the album so much better.
