am I the only one who is freaked out by people born in the 90's now being adults?

I would do this only I know some of the choices would have me wasting ages thinking about it

I've got a lot more to think about:

1975 - Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here"
1976 - Led Zeppelin "Presence"
1977 - Pink Floyd "Animals"
1978 - David Gilmour "David Gilmour"
1979 - Dire Straits "Communique"
1980 - Paul McCartney "McCartney II"
1981 - King Crimson "Discipline"
1982 - King Crimson "Beat"
1983 - Violent Femmes "Violent Femmes"
1984 - Minutemen "Double Nickels On The Dime"
1985 - Dire Straits "Brothers In Arms"
1986 - The Cure "Standing On A Beach" (compilation)
1987 - Anthrax "Among The Living"
1988 - Pixies "Surfer Rosa"
1989 - Stone Roses "Stone Roses"
1990 - Ride "Nowhere"
1991 - Smashing Pumpkins "Gish"
1992 - Lemonheads "Its A Shame About Ray"
1993 - Smashing Pumpkins "Siamese Dream"
1994 - Jamiroquai "Return Of The Space Cowboy"
1995 - Red House Painters "Ocean Beach"
1996 - Beatles "Anthology Volume 2" (compilation)
1997 - U2 "Pop"
1998 - Pearl Jam "Yield"
1999 - Chemical Brothers "Surrender"
2000 - Susumu Yokota "Sakura"

2002 - Lemon Jelly "Lost Horizons"
2003 - King Crimson "The Power To Believe"
2004 - Air "Talkie Walkie"
2005 - Sigur Ros "Takk"
2006 - Charlotte Gainsbourg "5:55"
2007 - Smashing Pumpkins "Zeitgeist"
2008 - Oasis "Dig Out Your Soul"

The hardest era to pick was the late 70s / early 80s. If only I was born in 1967, I'd have such an easier time! :-)
