Jake in the desertBeen a long time since I listened to Meantime fully. This will determine whether this is my top album from 1992, or if it's Piece of Cake by Mudhoney, which I just did fully- and is another SERIOUS contender. These are my final two out of a larger list for '92, and this one is CLOSE, like some of the others. Some years are really tougher to figure out than others 😅

Oh, and the reason I'm listening to all this older music is because I'm working on that 'album for every year I've been alive' thing @ttntm did, and not only is it going to help future 'favorite album' blog posts @HailsandAles does, it's a wild thing to do. I probably won't mention it again til I'm done or almost done, but the list is here, 1980-1992 is done: https://record.club/jake4480/lists/one-album-for-every-year-ive-been-alive
Brief note on the 'album for every year I've been alive' thing. I have less than 20 years to go now, home stretch. And since I'm only doing one per year, some choices have been tough. And there's lots to listen to. Today will be 2008.
A strange realization I had, I love Weedeater a ton and have been playing several of their records, but strangely, many of the years they had albums, so did Static-X, and I love Static-X more than Weedeater-- just slightly. So Static-X has just BARELY edged out a Weedeater album or two for several of the years now 😂 Weird. And tough.
It's done! I started this (what I knew would be a) massive musical journey to determine my favorite album every year I've been alive on March 1 (of this year, 2026) and just finished today, March 13.
📝 I wrote it up as a blog post here: https://spacetimetech.wordpress.com/2026/03/13/one-album-from-every-year-ive-been-alive
There, I discuss the process, and provide the link to the full list on record.club, which is also here: https://record.club/jake4480/lists/one-album-for-every-year-ive-been-alive 💿
-like, if you don't wanna read all that (it's not too long), but I get TL:DR. 😂

Awesome! You made quite a project out of this 😄
I'm still not done with my list, I have the same problem as you... finding albums for the 80s and 90s is easy, but 2010s?
I might just have to leave the list unfinished, because there wasn't much new music that interested me then.
@82mhz 😂🤣 those 2000s years were weird, right? I think a lot of more mainstream music peaked in the 90s. The 2000s get so strange. I had to go deep underground for a lot of those years. More modern pop music is mostly all lost on me.
@jake4480 Same here about modern pop... not my kind of thing. I am mostly listening to old stuff anyway, so for some years there simply is no album that I really like. I think my list will stay incomplete... but I'll keep thinking about it, maybe some more stuff will pop up.
