Cool thread.

Favorite music lists are always super difficult for me to make because there's an incredible amount of great music out there, so only being able to pick a select few is torture lol. I'll give it a try though. Since there is only one option for each, I will pick the albums I never tire away from. I'll also pick a favorite song from the album instead of the entire decade to make it easier on myself.

'10s:
Album - This one's murky at the moment. I'll say so far Manipulator by Ty Segall.
Favorite song from the album - A tie between The Singer and Clocks.

'00s:
Album - Bravery, Repetition, and Noise by The Brian Jonestown Massacre
Favorite song from the album - Open Heart Surgery


'90s:
Album - Souvlaki by Slowdive
Favorite song from the album - A tie between 40 Days and Machine Gun.


'80s:
Album - The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses (kind of embarrassed to pick this, but the album is perfection imo)
Favorite song from the album - (Song for My) Sugar Spun Sister


'70s:
Album - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars by David Bowie (pretty basic for a Bowie album, but it's always been a top favorite of mine)
Favorite song from the album - A four-way tie between Five Years, Moonage Daydream, Soul Love, and Lady Stardust.


'60s:
Album - In the Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson
Favorite song from the album - The whole album. Okay, a tie between Epitaph and The Court of the Crimson King.
