The Stooges - Fun House

I was born in 1979 so it's gotta be some disco album, possibly this one:

Pinocchio is my favorite of 1979 also, even though I'm 30 million years older than you

Hounds of Love vs Rain Dogs.

Ruff year.

So let's be consistent for once.

liquid swords

Not 100% sure but could be The Doors s/t, & Nico, Easter Everywhere or After Bathing At Baxter's and could be a few other things.
Think s/t was actually out the month I was born.
Think overall I prefer the next year though

O.G. Original Gangster

Tom Waits – Rain Dogs, probably.

Not a favourite year of mine for music tbh.

jordan: the comeback

In a Silent Way

Parallel Lines

liquid swords

For some reason I thought we were the same age.

i have a real answer and a WELL, TECHNICALLY. . . answer.

my knee-jerk is bill evans you must believe in spring because while it was recorded in 1977, it was not officially released until 81.

real answer is the sound from the lion's mouth.

yep.

Young Marble Giants - Colossal Youth

Born in the USA

For some reason I thought we were the same age.

So did I!

I mean if you were 13/15 in 2000 and your musical taste didn’t deviate much from pop and rock I can really see how Kid A would seem incredibly weird. I was 15 and it also seemed weird to me, and I have to note I was into Aphex Twin at that point in my life so that smoothened the first impression a lot. Even some adult critics writing for big publications dismissed it when it first came out because it wasn’t OKC2.

OKC also felt very insular and certainly weird when compared to the rest of the mainstream “alternative” scene of the mid to late 90’s.

Weird or depressive are the two main descriptions I’ve heard from people when they explain why they don’t listen to Radiohead.

My experience exactly, down to my age when Kid A came out.

Also: great revive.

(I was also 15 when Kid A came out)

Ah, thanks, that's exactly the exchange I had in mind but couldn't put my finger on.

Unknown Pleasures over Einstein on the Beach

xp Wait, it came out in late 00? For some reason I thougt it was a year earlier. I was 16.

Off the Wall, almost assuredly.

Another Side of Bob Dylan or Getz/Gilberto

man i wish i could say some really kickass dylan album, but nope, shot of love is what i get. lame.

Tricky's Maxinquaye. I've realized there's not a lot of 90s babies on ILX!

Too many to choose.
I think the Doors s/t came out the actual month though. & I still like that quite a lot, though still may not be my fav of theirs.

This could either be Francis Bebey's Akwaaba or Van Halen's 1984, depends how much I've had to drink. Way better year for singles than albums tho.
I tried listening to Born in the USA last summer and couldn't make it all the way through.

Listening to Akwaaba now and I'm def gonna go with Akwaaba.

NEU! '75. Fuck, I'm old.

Total Q magazine answer but Marquee Moon

Totally forgotten that I'd already chosen upthread but nice to know that my choice remained the same. Weird to think that Highway 61 Revisited is my SECOND choice (Sorry, Austin!)

Purple Rain, I guess

(Strong contenders in BITUSA and Mats’ Let It Be

Somehow had it in my mind that Paid in Full was from the year before, I'll go with that.

Ramones

Tricky's Maxinquaye. I've realized there's not a lot of 90s babies on ILX!

Holy shit, lol. (I was in college and shook Tricky’s hand when he came someplace to promote it)
