Going Back In Time

I've added the constraint that I can list each artist only once. 1955 is as far back as I can go... I like jazz but I'm not a huuuuge fan and mainly stick to the big guns (so that constraint ruins me). And my knowledge of any other kind of music around that period is appalling.

I made one of these about a year and a half ago, and posted it on abother forum. A lot has changed since then, but wait and I'll go and find it.

ps - great list, churab, but Daydream Nation was 88 not 91.

Nice to see Sun City Girls on yr lists as well, Cardboard Adolescent.
 
Gah what the hell, that should be 1989 but I prefer Mother's Milk in that year anyway so goodbye Stone Roses. Well spotted :)

1981 is impossible, far too many to choose from... I'll give it to Wipers - Youth Of America. Hmm, maybe I'll change 1984 from the Replacements to Maiden? And I also notice I left question marks for 1973 because I didn't know which Gong album to choose :D

I would like to call it quits at 1963 also. When I tried to go further back, all I could think of was:

1962 Elvis Presley Blue Hawaii
1961 Elvis Presley - G.I. Blues
1960 The Everly Brothers - It's Everly Time

And I don't even like Elvis. Don't seem to have any albums from the 50s at all, only compilations. One last thing, wasnt Doolittle 1989? I can't find the album to check but checked it on the net and it said it was too.
 
1994 is one of the toughest for me too. 3 of my favourite albums are from 1994. Im also surprised that the 2002 slot is looking really hard too, i have loaRAB of albums pencilled in for that one.

This is hard.
