| Evolution of Sloth. Early years
Sup, so I've been on Sput for 7 months (veteran, I know), and feel as though it's time to let you all know how my music taste evolved/devolved/changed throughout my existence.
List below is my favorite album of each year, I remember, as I lived through that year. | | 1 |  | Men at Work
Business as Usual
1981
My Current rating. 5
Average Sput rating. 3.6 from 71 votes
Average RYM rating. 3.45 from 1,506 views
I was young, but still preferred real music over children's songs. My parents both loved this album, so it was on heavy rotation. I can still remember my dad singing. Be good be good be good be good be good be good be good Johnny. Still am awesome song. | | 2 |  | Michael Jackson
Thriller
1982.
My current rating. 4
Sput. 4.3 from 1,535
RYM. 3.91 from 13,462
What wasn't there to love about Michael when you were a little boy. He touched me in a special way. Initially this album was all about thriller for me, the film clip, the dancing, the song, but then i stated getting into the other tracks, Wanna be startin somethin, Beat it and Billie Jeans were favorites of the young Sloth | | 3 |  | Culture Club
Colour by Numbers
1983.
My current rating. 3.5
Sput. 3.3 from 50
RYM. 3.09 from 825.
I was fascinated by Boy George, and loved Karma Chameleon to death. Listening to this album again, i only recognise a few other tracks on the A side, i must have kept on repeating side A. | | 4 |  | Prince
Purple Rain
1984
My Current rating. 5
Sput. 4.4 from 871
RYM. 4.07 from 11,796
What was it about my youth that loved flamboyant performers. This was my jam, i had to sneak to watch the movie/clips, my parents were strict on what i was allowed to watch, but they'd play explicit records all the time. | | 5 |  | Tears for Fears
Songs from the Big Chair
1985
My current rating. 4.5
Sput. 4.1 from 490
RYM. 3.84 from 5,686
Another album that my oldies spun a lot. I ended up taking over it, and chose to put it on myself. Everybody Wants to Rule the World was my anthem of that year, slothing through the woods. | | 6 |  | Crowded House
Crowded House
1986
My current rating. 4
Sput. 3.8 from 76
RYM. 3.55 from 1,259
Great Australian, via New Zealand band. All my friends would listen to this as well, i think every second house in Australia would be jamming this whilst we played backyard cricket. | | 7 |  | Midnight Oil
Diesel and Dust
1987
My current rating. 4
Sput. 3.9 from 118
RYM. 3.65 from 1,644
Another classic Australian album. The political messages were over my head, but i knew they were important. I remember asking my mum what the song Bed Are Burning, was about. This was the first album where i actually took notice of the lyrics. | | 8 |  | New Kids on the Block
Hangin' Tough
1988.
My current rating. 2.5
Sput. 2.2 from 27
RYM. 1.73 from 253
I thought i was cool, nothing more to say, move along | | 9 |  | Faith No More
The Real Thing
1989.
My current rating. 4.5
Sput. 4.1 from 1,734
RYM. 3.77 from 6,929
From slops to tops. This was the first album i bought with my own money. I used to show it off to all my friends, i used to read and sing along with every song, the first album i did this to. I took ownership of this album and told everyone about it, my first rec. | | 10 |  | Public Enemy
Fear of a Black Planet
1990
My current rating. 4
Sput. 4.3 from 741
RYM. 3.86 from 5,640.
I had this on cassette, and I'd take it everywhere. We were the whitest little Aussie wannabe African Americans. This started my rap faze. | |

08.06.19 | Part 1 of 3.
Get to know the sloth. | fogza
08.06.19 | Midnight Oil are incredible. You have a good memory to be able to musically chronicle your kidhood. | Pikazilla
08.06.19 | I wonder when it all went wrong for you. | SlothcoreSam
08.06.19 | Yeah, i remember a lot of what music was played at home, or on car rides. Music was played more than television was watched in our household, and it was never commercial radio.
@Pik, stay tuned for parts 2 and 3 to see where things corrected themselves. | Gestapo
08.06.19 | Good list | SlothcoreSam
08.06.19 | Thanks, it's a bit random. But a good exercise to see what shaped my musical tastes. | deathofasalesman
08.06.19 | "What wasn't there to love about Michael when you were a little boy. He touched me in a special way."
>.> | Minushuman24
08.06.19 | Kind of excited to see where this goes, probably one of the closer people on the site to my own musical tastes | SlothcoreSam
08.07.19 | You might be in for a pleasant surprise Minus, no spoilers, but your 4.5-5s might get a mention in my later years.
| Minushuman24
08.07.19 | oh I already see an insane amount of overlap.
I'm still a fan of Public Enemy, though I don't listen to them as much. And as a Minnesotan it is my duty to listen to Prince. | WatchItExplode
08.07.19 | 1st album purchased with my own money was Billy Joel an innocent man
Faith no more was in the first half dozen | Pratman
08.09.19 | Awesome list, a lot of detail put into it. I'm going to have to check Crowded House out for myself. Waiting for the next part! |
