 Topic: Top 5 albums per decade
Posted: May 14 2014 at 11:05 |
So I believe there's been a favorite artist per decade and a favorite album per decade, but this is a bit different. Top 5 albums per decade. Nothing after 2009. You can list albums before 1960 but obviously rock isn't going to have much dominance there.
Obviously, lists change for people who are ever seeking out music.
I'll start with 60s: John Coltrane— A Love Supreme The Beatles— Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Beach Boys— Pet Sounds McCoy Tyner— The Real McCoy Miles Davis Quintet— Miles Smiles
70s: Can— Tago Mago Pink Floyd— Wish You Were Here Magma— Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh Can— Future Days Yes— Tales from Topographic Oceans
80s Joy Division— Closer The Fall— Wonderful and Frightening World of... Sonic Youth— EVOL The Cure— Faith Talk Talk— Spirit of Eden
90s My Bloody Valentine— Loveless Spiritualized— Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space Radiohead— The Bends The Dismemberment Plan— Emergency and I Talk Talk— Laughing Stock
00s Radiohead— Kid A Interpol— Turn on The Bright Lights Kayo Dot— Choirs of the Eye Arcade Fire— Funeral maudlin of the Well— Leaving Your Body Map

Since this is in the general music discussions, I'm going to refrain from any porgs. Anyway, makes it a whole lot easier......and it's still damn hard!
Hmmm....aww to hell with it! I'm just going with whatever floats my boat for the time being. I know I am bound to miss a boatload of faves, but that's pretty much how it goes when one's forced to boil one's tastes down to a mere list.
60s Pharoah Sanders - Karma Love - Forever Changes James Brown - Live at the Apollo Sun Ra - Atlantis AMM - AMMMUSIC
70s Funkadelic - Maggot Brain The Stooges - Raw Power Stevie Wonder - Innervisions Lou Reed - Berlin Milton Nascimento & Lô Borges - Clube da Esquina
80s The Cure - Disintegration Cocteau Twins - Victorialand The Chameleons - Script of the Bridge Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables The Smiths - Strangeways, Here We Come
90s GZA - Liquid Swords Future Sound Of London - Lifeforms Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92 Orbital - In Sides Fields of the Nephilim - Elysium (I see Pearl Jam's mentioned with Ten - if MTV Unplugged ever received a proper release, it'd probably make the cut, as I have so many fond memories of watching that show: Pro Choice!!!! baby!)
00s F*ck Buttons - Tarot Sports Bohren & der Club of Gore - Sunset Mission Boards Of Canada - Geogaddi Burial - Untrue Manu Chao - Esperanza

(1975) The Beloved 80's 1) Depeche Mode-- A Broken Flame (1982) 2) NIN---Pretty Hate Machine (1989) The revolution begins!! 3) Metallica-- Master Of Puppets (say what you want about these guys, but they f**king killed it on this album. Ridiculously good.) (1986) 4) Iron Maiden-- Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son (1988) 5) Rush--Signals The Amazing 90's 1) Saviour Machine--Legend Part 1:1 (1997) 2) Dream Theater-- Awake (1994) 3) Fields Of The Nephilim--Elyzium (right there with ya, Dave!  ) 4) Fear Factory--DeManufacture (still to this day, the best gothic industrial metal album I've ever heard (1995) 5) IQ--EVER (yes. I feel it's just that good. ;) 1993 2000-2009 1) Machine Head--The Blackening (2007) 2) fields Of The Nephilim-- Mourning Sun (2005) 3) soulfly--Dark Ages (2005) 4) VAST--Music For People (2000) 5) Dream Theater--Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence

^ Lovely Cohen inclusion. I've always preferred his early works but still a great career.
I'm sure one of his first 2-3 album will be included in mine :3

I wanted to include one of his and prefer Songs Of Love & Hate and New Skin For The Old Ceremony but that decade was an easier place to find a spot for him.

His debut is my favorite by far - "Teachers" got me hooked on him. Either Songs From A Room or New Skin would be second.
