80's Replacements/Beasties/Public Enemy/Prince
90's Pearl Jam/House of Love/Bob Dylan/Elliot Smith
00's DJ Shadow/Eels/Beasties/Wilco...actually am very sure the 00's are going to kick ass on the 90's.

Sorry, I'm giving my short short list by just a few multiple bands in each decade, what a fantastic body of music we've put out here on earth the past 60 years.

70's- Led Zeppelin
80's- Pink Floyd (I was a late adopter)
90's- RATM, Beck, Richard Thompson, Danny Gatton, Robben Ford

Tom Jones. Seriously.

[Los Para Noias]

Joy Division is great, but one real album in the 1970's makes me choose somebody who was much more obviously a player through the whole decade (and his career is untouchable really). I haven't gotten no new york, it's impossible to find, although I'd get it if I saw it.

[Mr_Complex]

60s: Beach Boys
70s: Joy Division
80s: The Clash
90s: Beastie Boys
00s: Spoon.

[yeahwho]

You put Bob Dylan in the '90s? :confused:

I'm probably a borderline Dylan fanatic and I own everything I can get my hands on he's been involved in...but I only had two CD's (a best of' and Blood on the Tracks) until the `90's, then he put out "Time Out of Mind".

I was just completly blown away. How fucking great is that CD? IMHO it is one of the most amazing CD's of the decade and he had already been the guiding force (not by his choice, he could care less) behind the last three decades of thought in American Music. So for me it is an awakening to his music and a homage to "Time Out of Mind" which kept me alive on many a long drive to and fro in Washington State chasing money in various towns.

As it is with Dylan...I saw him live a few months back with Merle...I really didn't like his performance at all, the phrasing and lyrics were to gargled to really be enjoyed. I've seen him live a half a dozen times or so and the best time of course was in the '90's. :rolleyes:

Shit....that was way too long. Sorry.

[open letter]

70's - david bowie
80's - simple minds/madness

It's the only Dylan CD I own. And it's fabulous.

I'm rediscovering my Dylan vinyl. I think I disliked him because my pain in the ass friend was a huge fan.

And shit, I need to put Neil Young on my list! Too many in the 70s but he belongs there I suppose.

Not saying he sucked in the '90s, but come on, Dylan truly shined brightest in the '60s! Man, he had a pile of awesome albums there...

[DroppinScience]

ahh, isn't that the worst? age limits. boo. so many shows that i missed before i turned 21, or even 18 for that matter. it's a shame.

[Mido]

indeed. i just went to toronto with my girlfriend yesterday and we were trying to plan the trip around a concert, but everyone we were interested in seemed to be 19+. not fun.

most of the local shows here in london are all ages though. which is nice.

You can still listen to them, y'know. Or are you one of those people who refuses to listen to those "unknown" bands until they get popular? :rolleyes:
