80s - Prince
Every other decade - don’t know, basically just wanted to say that Prince’s decade in the 80s surpasses anyone else’s 10-year period in the history of recorded music.
60s - Beatles (maybe idc really)
70s - Joni Mitchell
80s - REM
90s - Outkast
00s - Kanye
10s - Sufjan
60s: Beatles (would also accept Velvets)
70s: Bowie (Ramones)
80s: Smiths (+ Morrissey solo?) (Nick Cave, Pixies)
90s: Magnetic Fields or Nick Cave
00s: The Mountain Goats
10s: Sun Kil Moon maybe. Or Nick Cave again.
00s easy. 60s and 70s lots of options. 80s and 90s harder to pin one down, and 10s I really don’t know. I’m obviously getting old.
Really struggling with this. Apologies for all the runners up
60s- The Velvet Underground
70s- Bob Dylan (Roxy Music, solo Eno, Bowie, Iggy, Lou Reed)
80s- The Cure (Prince, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Kate Bush, New Order, Cocteau Twins, The Fall, Echo and the Bunnymen- very hard decade)
90s- Fugazi (Bjork, Aphex Twin, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Autechre, Kyuss)
00s- LCD Soundsystem (Joanna Newsom, Stars of the Lid, The Microphones)
10s- Not sure yet- great releases by Grouper, Andy Stott, Julia Holter, Colin Stetson, Ian William Craig

*plus also damn don’t these lists get very white and male very quickly? I think music I love from the past always has less diversity than music I’m loving right now.

struggled a bit with the 10s but hoping they’ve got some more great stuff in them. otherwise largely went for relatively prolific artists with great runs of albums - most of my favourite 70s bands started right at the end of the decade so that’s just a waste.
90’s the stone roses?
that’s just the second coming, right?
wow
Well.
Most of the songs that meant most to me were in 89.
And I was too young at that point and discovered that stuff in the 90s.
So for me they were 90s…
Edit : I know that is not strictly thread rules on re- reading the title. But fuck the rules.
who am I to argue with that sort of spirit?
