We Can't Dance - Genesis_III
German #1 at August 30th 1992

Bigger, Better, Faster, More! - 4 Non Blondes
German #1 at August 30th 1993
Would I have been happy with it?
"Hey, hey hey hey, hey heyhey, I said hey - what's going on?" should be okay for a barely-english-speaking 8-year-old boy.

Voodoo Lounge - The Rolling Stones
German #1 at August 30th 1994
Would I have been happy with it?
The Rolling Stones? Not too bad. Actually, it would have been quite cool if I had listened the Stones at this age already. But I didn't really know them by then.

The Score (1996)
German #1 at August 30th 1996
Would I have been happy with it?
Actually I remember listening to "Ready or Not" on the radion and MTV and really liking it. So yeah, it would have been a nice birthday gift.

City Of Angels - Various Artists
German #1 at August 30th 1998
Would I have been happy with it?
I listened a lot to compilation albums at the time. The artists of the soundtrack seem to be good too. So (although I haven't seen the movie) this present would have made sense.

Buena Vista Social Club - Buena Vista Social Club
German #1 at August 30th 1999
Would I have been happy with it?
I don't know if I would have had the patience for an album so far away from the MTV mainstream. But I would certainly be happy with it now.

In Blue - The Corrs
German #1 at August 30th 2000
Would I have been happy with it?
It wasn't exactly my favorite band, but I liked the music and would have given it a try.

Weltreise - Schiller
German #1 at August 30th 2001
Would I have been happy with it?
Until recently I have never been into electronic music and a CD full of chillout tracks could have been too much to bare for me in 2001. Maybe I would have listened to the most popular tracks.

The Rising - Bruce Springsteen
German #1 at August 30th 2002
Would I have been happy with it?
I was slowly starting to get more into rock music. This would have been anouther step forward I guess.

Dead Letters - The Rasmus
German #1 at August 30th 2003
Would I have been happy with it?
As I stated earlier I was getting into rock music slowly. I thought that this was quite good. I was inexperienced.

Adios - Böhse Onkelz
German #1 at August 30th 2004
Would I have been happy with it?
Maybe their music isn't that bad. Maybe they are no fascists (any more). But I still associate the Onkelz only with nazis and brain-dead idiots in lowered Opels. I would not have been pleased. But luckily there wasn't anyone who sent me this present.

Mi Sangre - Juanes
German #1 at August 30th 2005
Would I have been happy with it?
I remember other people listening to "La camisa negra". I never did. I think I was quite indifferent about it. To have it as a birthday present? I guess I could think of better things...

Back to Basics - Christina Aguilera
German #1 at August 30th 2006
Would I have been happy with it?
No, I was totally annoyed by Christina Aguilera. If a friend would have send me this CD I would have seriously doubted if he really knew me.

All 4 One - Befour

I would have ended my friendship with that person.

All Hope Is Gone - Slipknot
Swedish #1 at August 30th 2008
As I was living in Sweden at that time
Would I have been happy with it?
I bought it myself. Slipknot are often dismissed as a lowbrow band because of their costumes. But there's more about them and I like it. Corey Taylor's voice is awesome, too.

King of Pop - Michael Jackson
German #1 at August 30th 2009
Would I have been happy with it?
Oh, the tragedy! Michael Jackson died! I have to admit, he was a great entertainer and I certainly was a fan in younger years. But I have developed a dislike of these "Best of.." albums in general and the post-mortem glorification of Micheal Jackson in particular.

The Final Frontier - Iron Maiden
German #1 at August 30th 2010
Would I have been happy with it?
Finally something decent atop of the charts at my birthday (note: Slipknot wasn't in Germany). I have other Iron Maiden albums and would be happy if someone decided to give me this one as a present. Anyone? It's been just a few days ago...

Inspired by this list by Grand Assault I have created a list of albums that should have been my birthday presents because they were #1 of the charts on my birthday.
