Alright, as we near the end of this first Y2K decade, it's time to take a look back at all the best Albums that have been released in the last 40+ years.

I'll start off this extensive research with 2000, up until 2009. I'll then go back to 1980, all the way up to 1999, to then wrap things up with the 70s and before.

I'll be choosing my Top 25 Albums for each year; an ordered Top 10, and ~15 others worth mentioning. I'm also considering the live albums and EPs (~5), but they have their own section since songs on these have usually been released on official releases. The final result will be a Top 1000 for Official Albums, and Top ~250 for Live/EP albums.

These are general rankings of how I see them today, and based on my Last.FM songs playcounts (2005-now) put through the formula:

Total Sum of each Album's Song's (running time X playcount)
DIVIDED BY
Album's Total Running Time

Thanks to MediaMonkey and its amazing scripting abilities, that formula gives an Album's REAL playcount, taking into consideration every song's lenght & playcount in relation to the overall album's lenght and # of songs on it.
You'll see the result (# of times I've really listened to an album since 2005) besides each, along with my 10* Rating. (x/x)
Besides each Year, you get the Total of all Albums' Playcounts and the average of all Albums' Ratings. (x / %)

Note that I haven't necessarily discovered and enjoyed all these albums on their released years, some I discovered years later. So these are also based on how important (to me) some of these albums were at the time.

(**) are the complete albums I was into at that time;
(*) are albums that contained only a few song(s) I was into or listened to at that time;
and those without (*) are albums I discovered years later.

Opening Credits
Ennio Morricone - The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
HELL YEAH!!! This is EPIC!


Waking Up
Pink Floyd - High Hopes
Great song for waking up and then, when David Gilmour's guitar solo kicks in... THIS must be a great day! =)


First Day At College
Bob Dylan - 4th Time Around
Yeah the other three times I was visiting the young and attractive female professor, if you know what I mean, harrharr.


Falling In Love
Joshua Radin - What If You
Really beautiful song. It's a break-up song though. Maybe she's falling in love with me but I'm not with her.
Like he sings:

"So, for tonight
I'll stay here with you
Yes, for tonight
I'll lay here with you

But when the sun
Hits your eyes
Through your window
There'll be nothing you can do"

I'm such a bad guy! :D


Losing Virginity
Jack Johnson - Cocoon
She is losing virginity and I'm the one who breaks her cocoon. Oh what a metaphor! ;)


Fighting
Eddie Vedder - Long Nights
I'll not use "fight" as the common term of "combat", more like "struggle". Maybe I'm struggling with not knowing who I am, where I belong, etc.


Breaking Up
Blackfield - Open Mind
Is it that I'm too open minded that she breaks up with me?!


Prom
Robbie Williams - Feel
Wow, this is a beautiful song! I could imagine dancing with a gorgeous girl to this song.


Life
The xx - Fantasy
Erm, my life is just a fantasy?


Depression
Bright Eyes - The Movement Of A Hand
Maybe I'm depressed 'cause I couldn't understand the movement of a hand.


Driving
Death Cab for Cutie - Bixby Canyon Bridge
I'm listening to this song while driving on an early winter's day.


Partying
The Doors - Soul Kitchen
Not the party song that I had expected, but yeah, nice though.


Happy Dance
Pink Floyd - Bike
Yeah, I'd love to dance to this song! It'd be ridiculous and funny.


You & Friends
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Red House
Me & friends making a jam session and listening to this song to get inspired by.


Betrayal
Tenacious D - Fuck Her Gently
I'm so sorry honey! It was just that girl I've seen on the streets, you know, she was so drop-dead gorgeous and I, I just couldn't resist.


Regretting
Jack Johnson - Times Like These
I miss times like these, where everything was so perfect and these times were only with you. So please, don't leave me!


Long Night Alone
Jack Johnson - Enemy
You might think I'm your enemy, but that don't make you mine.


Flashback
Bright Eyes - Arc of Time (Time Code)
Would fit nicely as a flashback song.


Getting Back Together
Coldplay - Swallowed By The Sea
Cute and tearful reunion. Very moving.


Wedding
Bon Iver - Flume
GREAT! I love it. Memo to myself: This song should be played on my wedding.


Honeymoon
Yann Tiersen - Comptine d'un Autre Été L'Après Midi
Beautiful!


Birth of Child
Iron & Wine - Carousel
Nice song for one of the best moments that life offers: The birth of a child.


Losing Someone Dear
Weezer - The Damage In Your Heart
Man, it fits so perfectly.


Final Battle
E.S. Posthumus - Ebla
An epic battle this will be.


Death
Ólafur Arnalds - Fok
I didn't expect that Ólafur Arnalds would be the last thing I'd hear.
I'm sure I'll die peacefully and with a happy smile after listening to Fok.


Funeral
Mono - Pure As Snow (Trails Of The Winter Storm)
Really beautiful. The funeral will be very moving.


Final Credits
Ludovico Einaudi - Yerevan II
Sad ending credits. Could imagine half of the people are crying while leaving the theatres.


I'm a bit disappointed that there was no Muse, Radiohead or Jeff Buckley.


So here's how you do it:
- Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc.)
- Put it on shuffle
- Press play
- For every question, type the song that's playing
