    80;s

    The Stone Roses – The Stone Roses

    90’s

    Nirvana Nevermind

    2000’s

    Arctic Monkeys – Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not

    This Decade? Hard to say, probably not the best but struck a chord (intended) with me

    Bowie – Dark Star

    Can’t really go back much earlier as too young

    Can’t do it. Too many to choose from

    Can’t really go back much earlier as too young

    You’ve heard no albums from the 60s and 70s?? There’s a hell of a lot of good stuff you’ve missed then! Like, Hendrix, the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Can, Sex Pistols, Velvet Underground, Stooges, Iggy, Talking Heads…etc etc… I suggest you do some listening young man! 😀

    60`s – Something by the Beatles (before I was born)

    70`s – Dark Side Of The Moon

    80`s – Joshua Tree

    90`s – Definitely Maybe

    00s - Bring It On (released in the 90s, but I didn’t start listening to it until the 00s, cheating I know, but the 90s were crammed full of great albums)

    Nothing of any note since then.

    70’s – Unknown Pleasures

    Can’t do but I can say Van Morrison’s 10 albums from 68-1978 are unparalleled in terms of sustained artistic achievement in pop music.

    Fixed and very much agree handybar.  Know he’s very much an acquired taste but people don’t realise what a terrific songwriter he is.

    Edit: would also include Them in that category cos that’s where it all started.

    Seeing as I started this, I think I’ve got my list together. It’s flipping hard though.

    60s – are you experienced

    70s – led zep IV

    80s – hup

    90s – his n hers

    00s – funeral

    10s – royal blood

    first and last one most difficult. First because it’s not a decade I’ve got many albums from. Last for the same reason.

    My choices are based on what could always get put on the stereo and I still listen to.

    Bloody difficult to choose from later decades, some will be like sticking a pin in a list, but could change just as easily. So, here goes:

    60’s   King Crimson – In The Court Of The Crimson King

    70’s   Talking Heads – 77

    80’s   Paul Simon – Hearts and Bones

    90’s   Portishead – Dummy

    20’s.  Arcade Fire – Funeral

    A lot I cannot argue with there – here goes…

    60’s Disraeli Gears (Cream)

    70’s Lamb lies down on Broadway (Genesis)

    80’s Script of the Bridge (Chameleons)

    90’s Ladies and Gentleman we are floating in Space (Spiritualized)

    2010s Happy Songs for Happy People (Mogwai)

    2020’2 Trouble will find me (the National)

    Ask again tomorrow and they’ll have changed!

    60s: no idea

    70s: Land Speed Record (actually an 80s album but they formed in 79 and it’s my list so my rules!)

    80s: Stone Roses

    90s: Cooper Blue, no! The Charltans, no! Screamadelica, no! Hmm…this could go on and on. 90s were too good to me.

    00s: Hot Fuss (the rest of their stuff is shit though)

    10s: Silver Age.

    As has been said, it’s an impossible task so have added rules to help me pare it down.

    1.  Must be albums I’ve played (and continue to play)  to death yet seem to refuse to die.

    2.  Artists must all begin with a random letter.  So the letter ‘M’

    60s MC5 -Kick Out The Jams
    70s Miles Davis – Dark Magus Live at Carnegie Hall
    80s Matt Johnson – Burning Blue Soul
    90s Make-Up – In Mass Mind
    2ks Magma – Trilogie au Trianon
    210s Moses Gun Collective – Mercy Mountain

    slowoldman

    Well having thought about it, my rule is albums which knocked my socks off when they came out and which I continue to play (some more than others).

    60s Pink Floyd – Ummagumma
    70s Yes – Yes Album
    80s Frank Zappa – Them or Us
    90s Richard Thompson – Mirror Blue
    00s Grinderman – Grinderman
    10s New Noise – Frozen River Flows

    Though it’s hard not to mention The Beatles or Led Zeppelin or listing Zappa’s entire output.
