    My goodness but you aren't half missing out by limiting yourself to 60/70's, there has been a lot of amazing stuff in every decade.

    Argh! It's difficult enough limiting it to 10 in couple of those decades.

    i like ritchie blackmore, but more with deep pruple than with rainbow, despite of all he showed he could do with this band , along with incredible players (i have a little preference for cozy powell). i only have the double japanese live album back home.

    2000: i can't say, i don't listen very much to what's going on in the present.

    1990: wu-tang clan (36 chambers)
    nirvana (nevermind)
    cypress hill (III - temples of boom)
    jamiroquai (first album)
    noir désir (tostaky)
    others i can't think of right now

    1980: ...?

    1970: peter gabriel (first three albums)
    black sabbath (sabotage)
    led zeppelin (houses of the holy)
    kool and the gang (music is the message)
    james brown (the payback)
    santana (illuminations)
    others i can't think of right now

    1960: john coltrane (a love supreme)
    jimmy smith (respect)
    the beatles (abbey road)
    the beach boys (pet sounds / smiley smile)
    others i can't think of right now
