I mean how in the hell is Oranges And Lemons better than Disintegration or the Stone Roses debut in 1989 and makes me laugh inside. A few mentions of Key Lime Pie was fun as well but now looking back it has to be hard backing up that claim.
Thanks ILM for just being you, as it has brought me so much joy over this last year.

Adding:
2003: Super Furry Animals: Phantom Power2004: Brian Wilson: sMiLe (if it counts as a 2004 album)2005: Coldplay: X&Y (so far, but likely to keep its position as I consider it the best album of the entire 00s so far)
― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Sunday, 13 November 2005 14:56 (eighteen years ago) link
Bee would go with Arcade Fire or Kid A. I wonder if you are the only person on earth that likes this album that much. I bought it -day of release- but is a major let down, IMO, where I think all of the other Coldplay albums are better but still would be hard to crack the top 50 so far.

If I was forced to pare down my collection to one album per year (for the past 40-ish years), then here is what I'd pick, all totally off the top of my head, no forethought or list referencing, VOILA!:

From 1958 until I largely quit giving a fuck about "new" music. Had to look up the year for the earliest ones, the rest are from memory. Maybe 1/4 of these are 'permanent' number-one-favourites, at least for the time being.
1958 Bo Diddley 1959 John Cage, Indeterminacy 1960 John Coltrane, Giant Steps 1961 Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus 1962 Ian and Sylvia 1963 The Beatles, Please Please Me 1964 Eric Dolphy, Out To Lunch 1965 Bob Dylan, Highway 61 Revisited 1966 Beatles, Revolver 1967 Love, Forever Changes 1968 Rolling Stones, Beggar's Banquet 1969 Captain Beefheart, Trout Mask Replica 1970 Sir Lord Baltimore, Kingdom Come 1971 Hampton Grease Band, Music To Eat 1972 Funkadelic, America Eats Its Young 1973 Hawkwind, Space Ritual 1974 New York Dolls in Too Much Too Soon 1975 Led Zeppelin, Physical Graffiti 1976 Debris, Static Disposal 1977 MX-80 Sound, Hard Attack 1978 The Residents, Duck Stab 1979 Donna Summer, Bad Girls 1980 Motorhead, Ace of Spades 1981 Minutemen, The Punch Line 1982 Prince, 1999 1983 Cyndi Lauper, She's So Unusual 1984 Butthole Surfers, Psychic...Powerless...Another Man's Sac 1985 Husker Du, Flip Your Wig 1986 Slayer, Reign In Blood 1987 Uncle Sam, Heaven or Hollywood 1988 Sonic Youth, Daydream Nation 1989 Nomeansno, Wrong 1990 Ice Cube, Amerikkka's Most Wanted 1991 Nirvana, Nevermind 1992 Trouble, Manic Frustration 1993 Trumans Water, XXXOXOX Spasm Smash Whatever 1994 Sam Philips, Martinis and Bikinis 1995 The Tea Party, The Edges of Twilight 1996 Pillbugs 1997 Chemical Brothers, Dig Your Own Hole 1998 Outkast, Aquemini
The arbitrary selections and/or declining quality of the latter choices reflects this lack of interest, making them favourites by default.

I was only refering to the first one by honig. Way too much britpop and no electronic or jazz.
Depeche Mode = electronic
Of course I will never have a fave album of the year that doesn't put the melody in the forefront as the most important musical factor though.
