...

1960's: The Free Design: Free Design

1970's: (Tie) Marvin Gaye - I Want You; Earth Wind & Fire - All n All

1980's: Pat Metheny Group - First Circle

1990's: Prefab Sprout - Jordan: The Comeback

2000's: Lewis Taylor: Lewis II

2010's: Hadrien Feraud: Born In the 80's

...

That's kinda fair. But we still have enough of a body of work to choose in the 10's.

It's not like this won't come up again before 2021 smile . . .

Mano Negra had a hit with King Kong 5 in the late 80s... I sort of forgot about them... When I was in Mexico in 2000, I heard Clandestino for the first time. It had songs about immigrants, about Tijuana (tequila,sexo, marijuana), it had Subcomandante Marcos' speeches on it... I was learning about the Zapatistas and what they were all about. This album perfectly captured what I was thinking about at the time. Also, the 90s were the time of Britpop and shit hop and r&b, in other words, nothing that moved me. Manu Chao was so different! I felt (and still somewhat do) that the whole pop/rock/r&b world is just going around in circles and if you want to hear something new, it's going to have to come from somewhere else. So I wanted to include a world star that the English language pop world hardly knows about! I hope that answers your question, 214.

It does, thanks my boy. By the way you can call me Pedro, that's my name.

Black Messiah was the 10's, not the 00's.

It's an easy mistake to make. Besides, I can't be mad at someone who listed The Awesome Power Of A Fully Operational Mothership as their pick for the 90's. That is a great album

Yeah! Of course it is difficult choosing one album per decade, but go ahead! Do your worst, compadre! Remember, there's no "right" or "wrong"...
