That's really really tough, but here I go

Innvervisions
Kind of Blue
It takes a nation of millions to hold us back
Funkentelechy vs. The Placebo Syndrome

Plus Anything by Duke Ellington.

Yes I know I didn't put a prince album down there but there are just so many people I like better than him.

60's - The first Doors
70's - Low by David Bowie
80's - Lovesexy
90's - Maxinquaye by Tricky
00's - Vespertine by Bjork

Obviously, It's only the stuff I know well, but here goes:

60's Empyrean Isles - Herbie Hancock
70's Station to Station - David Bowie
80's The Dreaming - Kate Bush
90's OK Computer - Radiohead

Funny I like Prince so much, really.

Is there such a thing?

I'm sorry, I have to name some more of my favorite albums, four just doesn't cover it

Mingus Ah Um
And his mother called him Bill
Destiny
Revolver
Giant Steps
Thriller
Purple Rain (I'd add sign o' the times but Purple rain is just much more fun IMO)

70's



80's



90's

I know it sounds typical of me because I am a Prince fan, but my choice for best album ever is Prince's "1999". That album is absolutely perfect from start to finish. It takes my mind on a trip to a futuristic world that I can practically see when I listen to this album.

60s - Let It Bleed
70s - Rocks
80s - Appetite For Destruction
90s - Dirt

and so far, from this decade, Velvet Revolver's 'Contraband'

I can't choose.

In no order at all:

Revolver
Rubber Soul
Sign "O" The Times
1999
Nevermind
Joshua Tree
All That You Can't Leave Behind
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Songs From The Choirgirl Hotel
Soul Cages
Purple Rain
OK Computer
Magnolia Soundtrack (if you omit the non-Amiee Mann songs)

Off The Wall-Michael Jackson
Songs In the Key of Life-Stevie

Sly & The Family Stone-Stand!

Key of Life is overrated. But it's still a fantastic album and is the best 70s album I've ever heard (with the exception of Innervisions which is better, but less than half as long). Just my personally opinion though

I totally dig your choice for the greatest 90s and 00s album though
