Didn't do 60's as Beatles, Stones , other Brit invasion bands...Who, Kinks, Animals , early Led Zep etc etc would have ruled the roost although The Doors first 2 albums were special....plus anything from Motown, Stax or the classic Jamaican reggae/ska crews of that decade

Didn't do 90's either as I found only Paula Cole , Marc Cohn and The Cranberries were the only breakthrough 'newish' artists IMHO....and I hate Oasis so I'll get that off my chest right now

But feel free to add 60's and 90's......for the 70's, ten choices didn't seem nowhere enough ....could have gone on forever
