That was tedious. I got to about 1985 and stopped. I got down to the mid 1940s however in albums.

By 'as far as you can' mean until you reach a year and you say well, I haven't got a favourite album for that.
For example, someone might not have a favourite album from the year 2000, do they carry on or end it at 2001?
Either way, it seems like a good idea, I'll try and do one when I can be bothered. :thurab:

It's been about a year since I did this, so I figured I'd give it another go and see what's changed. It was a lot easier this time since I used rateyourmusic, which made me realize how many albums I have from the 80's... that kind of blew my mind.
I think I have three albums from 1974 on my Top 100.
Here we go:
Year Artist Album
1958 Ornette Coleman Something Else!!!!
1959 Ornette Coleman Shape of Jazz to Come
1960 Karlheinz Stockhausen Kontakte
1961 Ornette Coleman Free Jazz
1962 Ornette Coleman Ornette!
1963 Charles Mingus The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
1964 Albert Ayler Spiritual Unity
1965 John Coltrane A Love Supreme
