-Mastodon - Leviathan

 I considered this one. The way it creates that maritime feel is simply amazing.

The decade had it all. Landmark punk, post-punk, alternative, shoegaze, electronic, new wave, and much more albums were released. I'm not talking about the hair metal here <_<

And just to humor myself, I'll list some o the stuff I'm talkin bout

for punk, Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime (undisputedly one of the best punk albums ever), Delta 5, Dead Kennedys

tons of post punk, Gang of Four, Public Image Ltd., The Fall, Echo & the Bunnymen, Mission of Burma, Joy Division

Shoegaze took form in the 80s, stuff like Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, Jesus & Mary Chain

Tons of great alternative, Dinosaur Jr., Pixies, Smiths, Sonic Youth, the Replacements, Smashing Pumpkins, Husker Du, I could go on forever!

New Wave was huge, with Talking Heads, Devo, and XTC being personal faves

And then you have, of course, the beginnings of Nick Cave, in his wilder years with The Birthday Party and first records with the Bad Seeds, all very very good.

Yeah, I love the 80s >_>

For me, most of those types of music just aren't that entertaining so it doesn't matter if it's groundbreaking or not.

FALL OUT BOY=INSTA-FAIL.

60's 70's 80's and early 90's was the best years for Rock (that is true Rock), Metal, and Hair-Metal
there may be a few bands today that call themselves "Rock" but the prime years are gone for now
maybe someday a band will come along and bring back Pure honest to God Rock!

Rock has existed

40, 50, 60 70, 80, 90, 00

You listed the best years as

60, 70, 80, 90

That leaves

40, 50, 00

as the worst

I just wanted to point out that you listed most of the decades that rock has even existed as the best.

my thanx for pointing out my mistake. just out of curiousity any 40's 50's rock i should listen to? the most i figure is 50's Elvis tho i'm not sure if that counts lol

I've listened to these. Hail to the Thief is definitely the worst of them by far, and I couldn't possibly decide a favorite. It's between Thriller, Focus, and Revolver.

The list is missing Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

Revolver > Peppers
