The Twenty Albums You Must Hear of the Decade
Starting next week I am going to post the twenty albums you must hear of the decade - with a catch however. The catch is there will be a one album limit per band. This way there is more diversity. I will post five albums at a time with a brief reasoning behind my choices. Expect 20-16 to be posted on Tuesday, 12/8.

Looking forward to it!
Cool. There were a few decent ones, to be sure.
The New Kids on the Block at Leeds was the best live disc, hands down.
This may be a long-shot, but will there be any Ben Folds making the list? I consider his Rockin' the Suburbs and Songs for Silverman to both be thoroughly enjoyable. If I had to choose one over the other I'd probably go with Rockin' the Suburbs.
Sean raised a good point.
I'd vote for "Crunchy Guitars and Other Delights: Metallica Plays the Hits of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass" as the best covers album. ;-)
This will be great!!!
I don't see how you can say top 20 albums but limit the list to one album per band. If you're going for diversity, that's not the list to do. If you want to do top 20 'bands' of the decade and use albums to support that, it would make more sense. It's like coming up with a top 20 albums of the 60s and listing one Beatles album and saying, oh, the others can't be included because I have to include this other mediocre stuff.
Hatter - I see your point. In fact I was debating whether to change the title to the Twenty Albums You Must Hear of the Decade. I thought that was too much of a mouthful and may lose the countdown feel, but I see where you're coming from.
This is irrelevant but, if it were your top twenty list of the 60s would The Beatles even make the list?
As a person who is always looking to please, I have renamed the title of the countdown.
For the 60s, yes, I'd put Sgt. Peppers on it, without a doubt. That's saying something -- but not too much. A Beatles album -- even their best -- would never make my top 500 of the 70s.
Hatter - You truly are mad. I'm hoping that was just an exageration...
