what do you mean by "defining"

more like the biggest memes of each year

AE for 2016
TOTBL for 2002
PP for 2007

Everything except eminem, viva la vida, and wtt

In the event you mean definitive as in "epitomizing" instead of "best", then I say TMS instead of GKMC; the former actually captures the zeitgeist of 2012 whereas the latter simply chronicles the events of the artists' life.

If not that then I'm positively sure there's another mainstream option besides GKMC.

Get rid of Eminem, Coldplay, Gorillaz, WTT, and GKMC and this becomes passable.

absolutely false

why would you use acronyms for albums with no other context than the year they came out? you're fucking retarded, and no i'm not retarded because i can't guess what albums those are, all the retardedness is on YOU

>AE for 2016
literally no one gives a fuck about that shitty album outside of fantano's audience and underage Sup Forumstants.

Replace Eminem Show with literally. Anything. Else.

Very literally anything else.

>pretty representative of popular music from their respective years
this. that's the point of the thread anyway. faggots that disagree are either wrong or lack reading comprehension.

2016 is Atrocity Exhibition
2002 is Turn on the Bright Lights
2007 is Person Pitch

you suck

jesus fucking christ this is awful

you sound like a real insecure piece of shit
i guessed all those and i don't even listen to music

hold on why does that make him insecure
