Well, some had trouble coming up with enough for the 80s, and even the 70s :? , but nobody should have any problem with this decade. 10 albums, maximum one per artist. And none of this "I can't decide so Ten/Vs./Vitalogy/No Code/Yield" crap. You have to pick one and only one (or none, if that's your thing, although I'm not sure why you'd be in the Ten Club in that case). :!: 
Have fun!
