Kinder Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Following on from @Bearwood Ram’s great thread and nicking a recent idea from Absolute Radio, you’ve got to pick one album from each decade. No top 3 / top 10 / caveats - just one album. It’s so difficult but I’d go for: 60s The Beatles - Sgt Pepper 70s Fleetwood Mac - Rumours 80s Maiden - Number of the Beast 90s Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Blood Sugar 00s Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am 10s Biffy Clyro - Ellipsis CornwallRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit a lot of rock bands released some of their best material in 1980. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok Correction 60's Moody Blues Days of future passed 70's War of the Worlds Jeff Wayne 80's Brothers in Arms OT but does anyone remember the multicoloured vinyl album I think by Lindisfarne? Wish I'd kept it and all my other vinyl stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cisse Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 My reaction to this thread title made me smile. I instantly thought that I should think about an album of the 50's, 60's 70's 80's and 90's. I didn't think that someone has released decent albums on 21st century. Perhaps it tells more about me than the music of late. Perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (nb - this is not including the albums I already have said I can't live without in the other thread!). 60s The Doors - The Doors 70s Never Mind the.. - Sex Pistols 80s Master of Puppets - Metallica 90s Suede - Coming Up 00s Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever to Kill 10s probably something by Kasabian...

ariotofmyown Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I don't trust decades in music really. London Calling is the peak of, what I think as, 70s British Punk and it came out in 1980. 90s pre-Britpop Indie is maybe best illustrated by The Stone Roses debut, which came out in 89. Possibly the 2 best records of the 80s had nothing to do with what is usually considered 80s music. Dylan's motorcycle accident and subsequent shift to the gentle sound of John Wesley Harding feels like an early 70s album, coming after the excesses of the swinging 60s and the death of the hippie dream. But it came out in 67 before most if that stuff had happened. I think what I'm trying to say is that the sound you associate with a particular era doesn't actually have to come from that date.

This is right. Decades as a division of anything is going to be inaccurate. Point of order though: London calling just managed a 1979 release in the UK. Those poor feckers in the USA had to wait until January 1980 though. Still have my copy. ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
