i'm gonna have to give some thought to the other decades , but for me the best album of the 80's was

AC/DC Back in Black. Rocked from top to bottom.

I think the triumvirate of Ten, Vs, and Vitology may be unsurpassed for the 1st 3 albums from ANY group, that’s all powerful stuff there.

Glaken · Dec 17, 2004

1970's - Pink Floyd - The Wall (Honorable Mention: Michael Franks)
1980's - Molley Hatchet - Flirtin With Disaster
1990's - Nevermind - Nirvana
2000's - Nickleback - Greatest Hits (Honorable Mention: Toby Keith)

All songs from Jimmy Buffet!!

i believe def leppard was the first rock band to have back to back 10 million selling albums with pyromania and hysteria back in the 80's.

not sure if anybody has done it since.

Brock Landers · Dec 17, 2004

Guns N Roses Appetite for Destruction followed by Lies and the Use Your Illusion albums all sold more than 10 Million...

That is a understatement. What an unbelievable band. Cannot wait until the next album comes out. Sounds like a tour starting in September roughly. I will make sure and get to at least 2 or 3 of them.

Have to agree with all of that, seen PJ live 4 times including one of their very best shows ever at Soldier Field in July of 1995, that was amazing!

1960's -- Sgt. Peppers LHCB, Beatles
1970's -- Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd
1980's -- Music for the Masses, Depeche Mode
1990's -- OK Computer, Radiohead
2000's -- ?????

Guys, I just looked at Rolling Stone's Top 100 Greatest Pop Sonds and Britney Spears "Hit me baby one more time" was #25 and "MmmmmBop" by Hansen is #28. And #10 "I want it that way" by Backstreet Boys. WTF!?

"Where is the Misty Mountain Hop, where is the Smoke on the Water, Where is the Iron Man of today???"

Matt Dillion as Cliff Poncier in 1992's "Singles"..GREAT FLICK

No Van Halen on your list? LOL

Van Halen 1 thru 1984 is one hell of a catalog of quality music

You're an absolute genius , as those are definitely the best from the 60s and 70s era and my two picks also....

....I'm more of a metal head, U2's kind of faggy, I like Yngwie Malmsteen's "Marching Out" for the 80s, Marilyn Manson's "Anti-Christ Superstar" for the 90s, and Stone Temple Pilot's "Shangri-La" for the 2000s, but music has been very watered down and not as good as what it was before 1986.

Brock Landers · Dec 17, 2004

another 90's Honerable mention goes out to...

1992's Pantera 'Vulger Display of Power'

And

1994's Soundgarden 'Superunknown'

And 199's Red Hot Chilli Peppers 'Californication'

Even though Jimmy re touched the original recordings so many times,
The song remains the same was Zeps best and the best of the 70's IMO.:banger:
