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

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.

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.― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, May 27, 2020 11:26 PM (two weeks ago) bookmarkflaglinkMy experience exactly, down to my age when Kid A came out.Also: great revive.― pomenitul, Wednesday, May 27, 2020 11:33 PM (two weeks ago)

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.
