That was one hell of a douchebaggy thing to say!

60s: In the court...
70s: CTTE
80s: Dün - Eros
90s: Anglagard - Hybris
00s: Koenji Hyakkei - Angherr Shisspa

For the 60's: Anything by Albert Ayler.
For the 70's: Lou Reed, "Metal Machine Music".
For the 80's: Napalm Death, "Scum".
For the 90's: Painkiller.

Oh, I was just kidding!

90's: nick cave and the bad seeds: let love in

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)

'60's Beatles; Magical Mystery Tour

thanks, I highly recomend you Love Over Gold by Dire Straits if you haven't heard it yet, it has it's proggy moments, and is one of Strait's finest.

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.
