As per FM Spaceman's (now gone?) post of records listed by year, I'll try to list the most important album/single I heard in each calendar year of my life thus far. I grew up a ferry trip and 30 miles drive away from the nearest record store, so I didn't have the same early immersion in music others may have had. I also had little interest in music until I was twelve or so, but by 1994 I was devouring every last album I could get my hands on :)

1980 Born. St Winifred's School Choir - There's No One Quite Like Grandma was the UK No.1 at the time :roll:
1981-85 No memories of music whatsoever
1986 Jackie Wilson - Reet Petite (I remember this being at No.1, primarily because of that crazy claymation video)
1987 The Firm - Star Trekkin' (the first single my dad bought for me)
1988 Belinda Carlisle - Heaven Is A Place On Earth / Enya - Orinoco Flow (two songs I remember hearing on the radio at the time)
1989 Madonna - Dear Jessie (I remember the first time I heard this on the radio, and still love it)
1990 The Simpsons - Do The Bartman (first single I ever bought with my own money)
1991 The KLF - 3.a.m. Eternal / R.E.M. - Losing My Religion (I remember these being on the radio constantly at the time)
1992 Shakespeare's Sister - Stay (I was utterly fascinated by that melodramatic video)
1993 Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell II / Pet Shop Boys - Very (my first two albums! Scratchy C90 copies, of course...)
1994 R.E.M. - Monster (the first album I ever desperately wanted on its release. I had to wait months to get it...)
1995 R.E.M. - Green / Crash Test Dummies - God Shuffled His Feet (the first CDs I ever bought with my brand-new CD player)
1996 Pulp - Freaks / Separations / Masters Of The Universe (the start of a lifelong obsession)
1997 Radiohead - OK Computer / Spiritualized - Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space (both released on the same day!)
early 1998 Spiritualized - Lazer Guided Melodies (when I finally heard the greatest LP ever made)
late 1998 Brian Eno - Discreet Music / My Bloody Valentine - Loveless (bought on the same day, probably the most productive of all the countless music buying trips in my first year of uni)
1999 Spiritualized - Fucked Up Inside (procured for £2.99 whilst selling off my Levellers, Suede, Mansun etc CDs for booze money at the end of term) / Eels - Electro-Shock Blues (when I first heard the second greatest LP ever made)
2000 Radiohead - Kid A (it really was an event at the time) / Belle & Sebastian - Tigermilk (finally!)
2001 Spiritualized - Let It Come Down (had to get the bus to Dundee to buy it...) / R.E.M. - Reveal (that summer's alarm-clock album)
2002 Brian Eno - Discreet Music (again. I was listening to it when my long-term GF dumped me over the phone) / Lemon Jelly - k.y/Lost Horizons (two sunny acquisitions in an otherwise depressing winter)
2003 King Crimson - Red (first time I ever heard the mighty Crim)
2004 The Polyphonic Spree - Together We're Heavy (after a dreadful year of PhD misery and depression, this album coincided with a massive upswing in my fortunes. Plus, after taking her to a Spree concert with friends, my now-wife agreed to go on a date with me :D :)
2005 Frank Zappa - Joe's Garage Acts I, II & III (one of countless FZ albums I mainlined round this time)
2006 Mogwai - Mr. Beast (which rekindled my fading love for the band)
2007 Joanna Newsom - Ys (I listened to this every lunch break for a large part of the year)
2008 Earth - The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull (my first encounter with the mighty Dylan Carlson)
2009 Sunn O))) - Monoliths & Dimensions (because it's the blackest of black masterpieces)
2010 Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion (this got me through a winter of frantic overwork and general rottenness)
2011 Panda Bear - Person Pitch (Around 200 plays at 12.5 minutes = nearly two entire days of the year spent listening to Bros alone)
2012 The Twilight Sad - No One Can Ever Know / Ultrasound - Play For Today (both racked up huge play counts that year)
2013 My Bloody Valentine - mbv (because it's awesome, right?) / Ginger Wildheart - 555% (reminded me of how incredible the Wildhearts were, and what a songwriter Ginger is)
2014 Earth - Primitive & Deadly (because, full stop) / Chvrches - The Bones Of What You Believe (because I didn't think they made pop music this gloriously addictive any more)
2015 Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Asunder, Sweet & Other Distress (their best album and my first GYBE gig in the same year!) / Jenny Hval - Apocalypse, girl (my first encounter with this mesmerising genius artiste)
2016 David Bowie - Blackstar (the most fascinating and poignant release of the year so far...)

Because of this thread we started a FB page if you are so inclined. This lists are fascinating. The first list on the FB is your top 50 LPs. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2387483 ... 3/?fref=nf
Not sure how many folks here are FB friends of ours but just let us know if you want to be added. It is a closed group so you need an invite.

I'll have to come back to this thread later with a real list but if I had to choose 1 bit of vinyl it would have to be the 12" See For Miles sampler for the Tonight Let's All Make Love In London album with The Floyd's 16 minute Interstellar Overdrive and Nick's Boogie with the bonus of David Hockney and Lee Marvin. It was when the penny dropped for me with Syd's Floyd.

It would take quite a bit as there are endless lists on that page and each one is 50 albums! It takes some reading but is pretty absorbing...

I agree with Runcible - This is not easy at all. I hope the Island has constant electricity and Airconditioning, or I'm limited to the first 50 years or so of the 20th Century and my Brunswick (or another) 78rpm player......

To fill in a space until I can do better, I will refer to "Sounds", a 1980, 10 LP Box Set released by Deutsche Grammophone of "the 10 LPs you'd take to a Desert Island"; beautiful packaging and pressings, it contains Eno's "Before and After Science", The Savage Rose, (chickens everywhere)....and 8 more. Packed in a solid German Box Library Set w/ libretto. Pitiful, I know; but I'm thinking.

Maybe it should be 10,000 LPs and/ or assorted discs......; at least 1000?
If it concerns Facebook, I am out anyway. But I can attempt on this SITE.
I don't think it would help if I attempted to list alphabetically.....I don't think in that way; maybe by year would be a better fit, or better yet, at random.

"Holy thread resurrection, Batman!"

Nice to see that Spiritualized have finally made someone's choice on the 'real' Desert Island Discs, with Samantha Morton's choice of LAGWAFIS yesterday.

I believe this is the first time they've been selected, but I could be wrong.

I think it's great that Morton's a fan. I 've always wondered why there aren't more females in the Spiritualized fandom.

Here's an off the cuff list of my Desert Island Disc's.

All 8 Spiritualized albums
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard: I'm in Your Mind Fuzz, Nonagon Infinity
Apoptygma Berzerk: In this Together
Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions: Through the Devil Softly, Until the Hunter
Velvet Underground: VU and Nico, VU
Kurt Vile: B'lieve I'm Goin Down
