Dondante Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 here's a list i don't think has been done yet. what are your favorite albums from each decade. try keeping it to no more than 2 per decade. i'm starting with the 50's, but feel free to go back even further. i only have a handful of albums from the 40's in my collection, so it would be hard for me to really pick a favorite having only heard a select few. 50's - miles davis - kind of blue, john coltrane - blue train 60's - john coltrane - a love supreme, bob dylan - freewheelin bob dylan 70's - bob dylan - blood on the tracks, todd rundgren - a wizard a true star 80's - sonic youth - daydream nation, the cure - disintegration 90's - wilco - being there, nas - illmatic 00's - broken social scene - you forgot it in people, neko case - middle cyclone Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I want to participate in this thread but I don't even know where to begin. Every time I think I've decided on a pick for a decade, I think of something as good or better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
