It was years ago, time to move on.

Best not remembered as canon.

Tories couldn't give a fuck about anything North of Surrey.

Dark Side of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall would all be included be default for me... then there's at least 2 early Sabbath albums, Bat Out Of Hell Led Zepplin IV,
Loads of albums like Rumours, Machine Head, Goodbye Yellow Brick Load, wouldn't even make my top 10. I think 70s might be tougher than the 80s/90s.
Still though, too few people interested in this one.

It depends. Video game horse in an mmo or a living breathing real horse?

The 80s gets a little tough
A LITTLE tough?
The amount of great records that decade is off the charts. Same with the 90s actually.
Decades later I'm still discovering or rediscovering killer stuff.
Here's how it would play out:
Appetite would win. However Thriller should have beaten the likely nominees.
I say that as a gn'r fan.

Brexit will happen on Jan 1st 2021. There's no stopping it.
In a transition peroid atm where the rules are basically the same. The only difference between now and last year is the right wingers have a massive majority and can't be stopped.
The polls saying people think it's a mistake is nothing new. It was afterall only a 52/48 win. Too late now.
It's going to be a disaster for Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK. Worst thing is that the Tories still have a full 3 1/2 years to go at least. The opposition are rubbish.
I don't think I can be bothered voting at the next election.

This is along the lines of what I would have picked in no particular order without overthinking it:
90's
Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral (1994)
Radiohead - The Bends (1995)
Radiohead - OK Computer (1997)
Metallica - Metallica (1991)
Nirvana - Nevermind (1991)
Guns N' Roses - Use Your Illusion (1991)
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991)
(Could have included albums by Alice In Chains (Dirt), Pearl Jam (Ten), Portishead (Dummy), Soundgarden (Superunknown), Megadeth (Countdown), perhaps even Michael Jackson (Dangerous), Iron Maiden (Fear of the Dark), Marilyn Manson (Mechanical Animals/Anti Christ Superstar) and another Nine Inch Nails album (The Fragile), REM, Moby ect.)
90's is harder simply due to their being so much to choose from. I could probably spend all day thinking about it.
80's
AC/DC - Back in Black (1980)
Metallica - ...And Justice for All (1988)
Micheal Jackson - Thriller (1983)
Megadeth - Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? (1986)
Micheal Jackson - Bad (1987)
Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction (1987)
Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (1988)
(Like the 90's it could go, but I don't want to go down the rabbit hole today)
#149 Re: The Sunset Strip » GNREvo's Favourite Album of the Century so far, FINAL ROUND » 241 weeks ago
ps. In Rainbows (which I didn't even nominate) is probably my favourite album atm of the decade.
#150 Re: The Sunset Strip » GNREvo's Favourite Album of the Century so far, FINAL ROUND » 241 weeks ago
btw I did consider doing a Top 10 of the 90's and then 80's (imagine Thriller going out early *yikes*). However, there just wasn't enough interest in this series, it took a month to get enough nominees for this 1, and then we had albums going out with just 6 votes. So there's not much point, unless forum activity picks up anytime soon (don't count on it).
Thank you to all who participated in this one.
