Trying to limit it to one per decade.

60s - The Beatles
70s - Pink Floyd
80s - Skinny Puppy
90s - Fugazi
00s - Pinback

Pretty predictable, I guess. Seems like this decade is the hardest to decide on...surprisingly I have more albums from this decade than any other. I think we figured that out in another thread. So I guess it's not so surprising.
