This was difficult:

60's: Let It Bleed - Rolling Stones

70's: Ramones - Ramones

80's: Licensed to ill - Beastie Boys (closely followed by Flaunt It - Sigue Sigue Sputnik)

90's: We May Be Skinny and Wirey - The Crocketts

00's: Shut Up - Kelly Osbourne

I'm really surprised by how many people list Thriller as their favourite album of the 80s. By all means, it's a great album, but I think that Bad is even better because MJ was more involved creatively in it. Of course, sales-wise, Bad did worse than Thriller, but you can't appeal to everyone.

I'm really surprised you are really surprised. Why wouldn't the biggest selling album of all time not be the favorite of the decade for many people?

60's: The Beatles - Revolver

70's: Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All

80's: The Stone Roses - Stone Roses

90's: The Boo Radleys - C'mon Kids

00's: Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Beat that suckers! (Too many R&B efforts on here- a really difficult genre to master!)

So hard to narrow it down. 1960s - Beatles Abbey Road 1970s - Joni Mitchell Blue 1980s - REM Fables of the Reconstruction 1990s - Jeff Buckley Grace 2000s - Sufjan Stevens - Age of Adz 2010s - Jason Isbell - Southeastern

Really good choice! Right up there as one of greatest albums ever

Glad to see that someone else here is giving this album some love. REM seems awfully neglected on this boad when people are talking about the greats. They had such an impressive run!

60s:

You Got My Mind Messed Up - James Carr

70s: (a REALLY prolific decade, hard to choose just one...)

Court and Spark - Joni Mitchell OR Head to the Sky - EWF

80s:

Nightclubbing - Grace Jones OR Promise - Sade

90s: (another really prolific decade!)

The Velvet Rope - Janet

00s:

Emancipation of Mimi - Mariah Carey OR Now - Maxwell

10s:

Chamber Music Society - Esperanza Spalding OR Choose Your Weapon - Hiatus Kaiyote

It was impossible to improve the sales of Thriller. I guess this was the main problem with Michael Jackson: he made the best selling album of all time and there's no way you could ever top that. Yet he kept trying. That's his greatets tragedy. And that's why Prince was greater than Jackson: he never tried to "top" his last album, he just went on to the next...whether it sold a shitload or not... And he toured his ass off...

Indeed, specially because it limited his artistic development in some way.

1990s: Blowout Comb, Digable Planets

I played this a couple of weeks ago. I've been listening to them regularly since their reunion tour began early last year. I think they're still on tour, or at least they still were in February 2017. I hope they make a new record.
