Fortress. Change Your Mind is a catchy opener to that album. It was the follow up to the album with All For You that I believe was their best selling album. I liked those two albums. Apparently they are still making music.

I'm gonna extend it from the 60s-2010s for more fun. Standard fare for me:

The Velvet Underground - & Nico
The Clash - London Calling
Prince - Purple Rain
Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
The Strokes - Is This It
Titus Andronicus - The Monitor

The only one that was super tough to decide was the 00s. Too many appropriate choices.

John Butler Trio - What You Want

60s The doors - the doors
70s Pink Floyd - dark side out the moon
80s The stone roses - the stone roses
90s Oasis- be here now
00s Ryan Bingham - mescalito or John frusciante - the empyrean
10s Daughter- if you leave

Nice list. I was kinda close on Stone Roses too. I came to it a bit too late though.

If it wasn’t for Pumpkins, Morning Glory or Be Here Now would be there.

I am the Res is ridiculously good. That one still gets me. I like the whole thing, but that song still sticks. I was in love with that album during pilot training in '98.

The hardest one for me was the 80's. Besides the NMN album, could have gone with Depeche Mode Violator, Strawberries by The Damned, If I Should Fall From Grace With God by The Pogues, Purple Rain by Prince, Raising Hell by Run DMC, Straight Outta Compton by NWA, 3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul, License to Ill by Beasties, Copper Blue or Deep. The last two don't hold up as well, but damn did they speak to me.

those questions are always effin' tough. . . without taking a bunch of time to think about it, maybe something like this. . .

60s - jimi hendrix experience - are you experienced? (could also be something from the beatles)

70s- bob marley and the wailers - survival (could also be tom petty)

80s - jane's addiction - nothing shocking / pixies - doolittle

90s - de la soul - stakes is high (could also be public enemy's fear of a black planet, 1990)

00s - blackalicious - blazing arrow (could also be sean hayes, big black hole and the little baby star)

60s - White Album. Come at me.

The 80s is a bad decade for me. I just don't like a ton of the music. I've grown to appreciate some things. The Cars, The Cure (specifically Pictures of You, which is a brilliant damn song), some Toto. It's a rough decade for me in terms of music. Joshua Tree doesn't really fit in "80s music" to me, but that's the album. I suppose if there's a second it would be Appetite for Destruction. But Use Your Illusion stuck with me more, and it's a 1991 release.

Oh, you know an 80s album that did stick with me ... Texas Flood, Stevie Ray Vaughan. Again, doesn't really stick in the "80s music" thing, though. It's just the blues.

That's funny. Appetite was one that kept popping up in my head but I told myself 'that's appeals to too many people and you are unique'.

Yeah, the 80s are kind of weird. On the one hand, I agree with Abe about the general high quality of 80s music, but on the other hand, well...it's just weird. I think if you didn't get into weird shit it was kind of bland. But then you compare it, and it was a solid decade. During the 80's I listened to the Beatles about 8 out of 10 minutes for each minute I listened to music. Most of the 80's stuff I like I didn't get into until early 90's.
