DSOTM was the one I was missing.

And no, I haven't. :/

Nowadays I'd much rather listen to Guided By Voices' Bee Thousand than Vitalogy but Vitalogy has been with me so long and meant so much to me that I can't put Bee Thousand on there.
I think that might be the case for a few more years, that I not necessarily chose albums that my current self likes the most. Some albums are just ingrained in my brain as my favorites even when that might not be true anymore.

There's now way I can do this with the same depth that the rest of you guys have. Outside of the years that I have been an active music listener, I just don't have enough knowledge and experience to make those kinds of decisions.

I remember attempting something like this on Last.fm once; favorite album for every year since you were born (thus 1984-present for me). I had a hard time with the mid '90s and back at that point, too. I either never finished it or deleted it, because I can't find it now.

2015 Godspeed You! Black Emperor - 'Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress'
2014 Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra - Fuck Off Get Free We Pour Light On Everything
2013 Land of Kush - The Big Mango
2012 Shalabi Effect - Feign to Delight Gaiety of Gods
2011 Colin Stetson - New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges
2010 Oceansize - Self-Preserved While the Bodies Float Up
2009 Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
2008 Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra - 13 Blues for Thirteen Moons
2007 Oceansize - Frames
2006 Tortoise - A Lazarus Taxon
2005 Oceansize - Everyone Into Position
2004 Fly Pan Am - N'écoutez pas
2003 Do Make Say Think - Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn
2002 Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Yanqui U.X.O.
2001 Broken Social Scene - Feel Good Lost
2000 Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven!
1999 Sigur Rós - Ágætis byrjun
1998 Tortoise - TNT
1997 Do Make Say Think - Do Make Say Think
1996 Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die

I just searched my music folder based on year and picked my favorite. I guess the ease of doing that depends on your filing system.

If I can be your tour manager when you hit it big, then yes.

Just make sure to include whatever album "Words" was on by Missing Persons in 1981.
