Thought it would be interesting to limit the thinking to only 2 albums and see what people come up with. Here's mine. Thoughts?

2000's
-Black Rebel Motorcyle Club - Howl
-Wilco-Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

90's
-Son Volt-Trace
-The Black Crowes-Amorica

80's
-Prince & The Revolution-Purple Rain
-Paul Simon-Graceland

70's
-The Rolling Stones-Exile On Main Street (best album of all time IMO)
-The Clash-London Calling

60's
-Bob Dylan-Blonde On Blonde
-The Beatles-Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

How's that for a fine evening of listening pleasure???

    “Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” - Kurt Vonnegut
