    70's - Rush - Hemispheres
    80's - Rush - Moving Pictures
    90's - Rush - Counterparts
    00's - Rush - Snakes & Arrows
    10's - Rush - Clockwork Angels

    and the other decades don't matter, for there was no Rush



    I'm just kidding. There's no way I could pick my favorite albums from each decade... although Moving Pictures probably is the best from the 80's.

    Sadly, i see this thread and think how everyone my age (19) never buys the album from a band.. They only download one or two songs, and ruin the combined image/theme all the songs together gives you.

    And, i cant really tell you my favorite album from each decade, because i have only been alive for 2, so i am not experienced in music enough to come to a conclusion. ;)

    Hey Frankie, the fact you ended up in this board proves you have great taste in music! :P You don't need to be experienced and you are always allowed to change your mind and like new and different things. That's one of the greatest things about music, there's so many, and so many of it is great!! It's good keeping up with what's coming out now but I also recommend trying out some of the albums on this thread, there was some really fenomenal music in the last century that will blow your mind.

    I have been loving following this thread, good variety in each decade.
    I was curious to here what people think is the hardest decade to pick from, I guess what I m saying is which decade has the best music.
    For me it would be the 90's, I had a hard time finding a clear winner there, with the 80's I also had a difficult time because I had hardly any albums that come to mind.

    90's is my favourite, I feel nostalgic, wish it was that decade again, now it's all shit.
