I've noticed that my music taste is of opposite ends.
There's almost nothing in between.

First of all, the "Light" music I have in my collection include:

Carpenters, Emilíana Torrini, Seabear and Gaelic Storm.

Then there's the "Dark":

Johnny Hollow, Enigma, Björk and Sigur Rós.

I think everyone's like this.
Then again, most music artists have a little bit of variety to their music.

Look at the Carpenters, they are depressing as well as ridiculously happy at different times of their music career.

Franky =)

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.

1. What is your favorite song by 29?
Queens of the Stone Age : Probably something off Songs For The Deaf. They have alot of good songs.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22?
Leftfield : Afro-right. It was off the Wipeout XL soundtrack, which acted as my gateway to electronic music. I also discovered Orbital there. Hell, the Wipeout XL soundtrack is easily the best electronica compilation I have come across. What a classic.

3. What is your favorite album by 33?
CoLD SToRAGE : His WipeOut soundtrack. The original. XL was good stuff, but the original is probably the darkest he ever was. His online albums are a little light, but I dig those too.

4. What is your favorite album by 49?
Jerry Goldsmith : Alien OST. One of the greatest soundtrack ever composed. Just brilliant brillant stuff. Gives me the creeps...

5. How many albums by 13 do you own?
Meat Beat Manifesto : Nine. I think I might own more of his stuff than anyone. All it is worth buying.

6. What is your favorite song by 50?
Don Davis : Anything Is Possible. What an ending piece. So uplifting... Really suits the whole feeling of Neo finding his true place...

7. Is there a song by 7 that makes you sad?
Enigma : The whole McMxc A.D. album. His darkest piece of work and best.

8. What is your favorite song by 15?
The Chemical Brothers : Surrender. Only because that one has no filler. :) Push the Button is awesome as well.

9. What is your favorite song by 5?
KMFDM : Megalomaniac

10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy?
Nirvana : On A Plain. Lots of feel good vibes with this one. Reminds me of my early 90s childhood.

11. What is your favorite album by 40?
Akira Ifukube : His score for the original Godzilla film Gojira is the only one I would listen to nowadays.

12. What is your favorite song by 10?
Juno Reactor : God Is God. Mesmerizing piece of work. Love that insane synth line.

13. What is a good memory you have involving 30?
Kou Ootani : Watching Gundam W. Takes me way back. Lovely action score.

14. What is your favorite song by 38?
LFO : Tied Up

Incubus : Wish You Where Here

16. How many times have you seen 25 live?

Michael Jackson : Something off Dangerous. Fuck Thriller, Dangerous is his best piece of work.

18. What is your favorite album by 11?
The Future Sound of London : Accelerator. Wonderful early 90s electronic. Up there with Aphex Twin's SAW 1 album. Now this would be Lifeforms, but I still haven't "got" that album even after many repeated listens.

19. How did you get into 1?
Nine Inch Nails : I had heard of TR and NIN off hand on forums and electronic essentials list. I almost bought it at Best Buy after having read about it one day. Couple years later, my friend in High School had a DAT tape with The Downward Spiral on it. He showed me the intro track and it totally ripped my head off. I had never heard anything so brutal and agonizing. I later downloaded the full album off Limewire and god that first listen... I had never heard such a depressing album before. It totally beat my early conceptions of music to the ground. Rest is history.

20. Have you ever seen 14 live?
Bjork : She would be my second choice after Orbital. I've heard she is incredible live. I have a few of her officially released live albums and they totally amaze me. Sounds just the same as she does in the studio and sometimes even better.
