No More Entertainment #9 - A Lifetime Of Albums.
(NOTE: While authorities continue to search for the recently-missing Ryan J. Zeinert, the CDP will be publishing previously unreleased and 'lost' content from his vast archives in his absence. The following list was found on a flash drive Mr. Zeinert had left behind; it also contained a Christmas wishlist from 1996, an unfinished 'erotic' screenplay and an autobiographical obituary written as if Zeinert had somehow become President of the United States.)
A quick list of my favorite album for each year I've been alive (27 years). Make that 32 albums, as I couldn't make my mind up for a handful of them.

I can't even imagine choosing an album for every year I'm alive. That would mean having to figure out what year things were released and then THINK about it. Gah! Too much effort.
I wouldn't do it based on when they were released, Hathery. I'd base it on the album that sticks with me the most from a given year. So, for example, 2nd grade (1990), when I got my first stereo, would be all about Neil Diamond's "Hot August Night." 1991 would be Tommy Roe's "Dizzy." (*sigh* I was a weird kid.) 1993 (or was it 1994?) would be Jesus Christ Superstar. Seventh grade would be Tom Petty's "Wildflowers." I'd be hard-pressed to determine exactly when my embarrassing obsession with Everybody Hurts and--to a much lesser degree--the rest of Automatic for the People peaked, since it kind of came and went, but I guess I'd assign it to 8th grade. 1996 was my blessedly short-lived experiment with contemporary country (created solely because I spent every Saturday night at my best friend's house where my options were country or Christian rock). I never actually bought any albums; it was all about 94.9 WQMX. Oddly, I don't remember any other albums in particular from high school. Perhaps I was too busy being angsty and deep.
