As for other decades,  60s  Tommy by The Who
                                         70s The Lamb  Genesis
                                          80s Passion by Peter Gabriel
                                          90s Unfolded like Staircase by Discipline
 
to the previous poster, you may not like Radiohead (I'm not a big fan either), put there's no disputing their popularity.  Whether OK Computer is good or not is a matter of taste. Guess you're not here to be polite.Wink


I'm finding it hard to disagree with Phideaux and Discipline !

Leaving out jazz and 20th Century Classical, and sticking with some kind of rockmusic with a relation to prog:

60s: Soft Machine: The Second Album (alt: Amon Düül II: Phallus Dei or KC: ITCHYCOCK)

70s: Robert Wyatt: Rock Bottom (alt: Igor Wakhevitch: Docteur Faust or Magma Kobaïa)

80s: Art Zoyd. Generations Sans Futur (alt: Hellebore Il y a Des Jours or Residents: Mark of the Mole)

90's: Non Credo: Happy Wretched Family (no contest, really, but I love: Lacrymosa: Joy of the Wrecked
Ship)
 
00's: Guapo: Five Suns (Alt: Kayo Dot: Blue Lambency Downward or Guapo: Black Oni)
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

What a great thread! I've loved every post I've seen so far as well. So many thoughts, loves, hates and music I had previously never considered as contenders until now.

60's - Revolver (the Beatles)
70's - Red (King Crimson)
80's - The Dreaming (Kate Bush) - which just nudged out Spirit Of Eden by Talk Talk (sorry chaps)
90's - Music Has The Right To Children (Boards Of Canada)
00's - Lateralus (Tool)

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

There are many bands which i don´t understand how they got to be as popular as they are/were... Dire Straist is definitly one of those... not a bad band, but I can´t see why they had that much success

Talent and luck. Same as most artists. Dire Straits happened to be playing the right material at the right time at the right place perfectally twice (Sultans and Money for Nothing.) Luckily for them, they were good enough maintain a steady following from that.

Absolutely impossible for me to say. I can answer with what I'd go from the top of my head right now, though:

60's The Doors of the Crimson King
70's Paranoid Aqualung
80's Under the Sign of Gore
90's Hail, Morningrise, Hail
00's Light of Day, Day of Isa.

I know I'm reusing an old joke by now, but two albums is the closest I can get to the list, ever.
