Theres no way in hell that I'm gonna check decades, but my two favorite albums are probably nirvana unplugged and eric clapton unplugged.. Other then those two, I usually dont like whole albums, except for the numerous fatboy slim ones that I have.

1950's: Have'nt narrowed it down yet. Something Jazz; maybe from Miles Davis.

1960's : Beatles - Abbey Road (1969)

1970's: Saturday Night Fever perhaps? (1977)

1980's: Tie between Michael Jackson's - Thriller (1982), Prince's - Purple Rain
(1984) and GnR's - Appetite for Destruction (1987)

1990's : Radiohead - The Bends (1995)

That's the ONLY way to listen to music. Back in the late '60s, '70s and early '80s, albums had themes, like "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", "Diamond Dogs", "The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust", "The Wall", Tommy", "Berlin", "Rumours", "Exotic Birds & Fruit", "Psychomodo", "Roxy Music", "Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy", "Damn the Torpedoes", "Killer", "Welcome to My Nightmare", "The Pleasure Principle", "I Robot", "Tubular Bells", "Brain Salad Surgery", "Bat out of Hell", "Houses Of The Holy", "Master of Reality", "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road...

It's a pure pleasure to listen to them from start to finish. It must really suck to be growing up with what passes for "music" today.

 

Impossible for me to do. Plus my choices would change next month!
