In that case, we're talking more about importance beside defining. When you mention defining, I'm more thinking of the album that made the decade what it's known for, not an album that is influenced based on the genre the decade is known for.

For example, you chose the white album, but I was thinking we were supposed to choose an album that made it easy to choose the white album in the first place.
