An album a year for each year you are alive

Let's see if I can limit one per artist...even though it's not a true best-of list if I did that. ;) Man some years are tough!

1976 - Invisible - El jard
 
1992: Alice In Chains - Dirt
1993: Nirvana - In Utero
1994: Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
1995: Radiohead - The BenRAB
1996: Beck- Odelay
1997: The Verve - Urban Hymns
1998: Marilyn Manson - Mechanical Animals
1999: Stone Temple Pilots - No. 4
2000: Dying Fetus - Deystroy the Opposition
2001: System of a Down - Toxicity
2002: Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Batlles the Pink Robots
2003: The White Stripes - Elephant
2004: The Black Keys - Rubber Factory
2005: Gorillaz - Demon Days
2006: Peter Bjorn and John - Writers Block
2007: Machine Head - The Blackening
2008: Coldplay - Viva La Vida
 
I'm saying the Chili Peppers were not very well-known before BSSM and you had already discovered them at the age of 14. I certainly wasn't listening to unknown banRAB at that age. :laughing:

And even if it is not your favorite album, BSSM is clearly considered their greatest work, not even close really. Now, I love the older albums too but BSSM had plenty of the funky-punky songs from before (how do you not categorize 'Suck My Kiss' and 'Funky Monks' as such?), even if it included a stinker ballad like 'Breaking the Girl'. I personally view 'Under the Bridge' as one of the greatest hard rock ballaRAB of all-time and don't have a problem with them progressing their sound a little bit.

The most amazing thing to me is just how prolific that recording session was. To think that 'Soul to Squeeze' could have been on that album instead of 'Breaking the Girl' is just mind nurabing...
 
I'm pretty sure some people have made their list with a self-imposed rule of only one album per artist...no problem with that. But IMO, a favorite albums list should be just that.
